BBQ

20090720_ugh

Barbecue with Feedforce members at 昭和記念公園.  Nice and slow weekend surrounded by nature.  I was way too exhausted, went straight to bed when I got home.  Wish I was young as those kids running around all day long.  When do they get tired?

BTW, I oftenly croped photo’s by 4:3|3:4 but come to think its best to leave them in 3:2|2:3 especially when its super wide angle.

Preparation for the Solar Eclipse

batteryAs many of you probably already know, there is going to be an solar eclipse on July 22 in Japan, China and the Marshall islands.

In Tokyo, we will be able to see partial eclipse upto 75%.  So I’m gonna take a day off to shoot some photos.

I know there will be tons of people taking photos and vids of the eclipse itself but the coolest thing of eclipse will be the  shades.

Focus

Focusing Screen Eg-S

Since I’vd used Nikon F2, I really miss split focus circle.  Yep, I luv manual so I’ve changed 5DM2’s screen to Super Precision Matte.

The downside is that finder becomes darker.   I always use lenses thats faster than f/2.8 so no problemo.   Finder is sharp and crisp, and much much easier to find the point.

Recommended for those who love manual photography.
