小小心情写照

亲爱的朋友们,

谢谢你们的用心和慰问!你们的关心我都一直放在心里哦 :) 近来我都在试着多写一些歌曲,多写一些文章,多拍一些照片,多做一些运动,多过一些正常人的生活。试着找回简单生活中的乐趣,远离那些吵杂琐碎的事情。这方法对我而言还真的满惯用的。所谓沉淀,因该就是让自己的心平静下来,让自己的思绪暂时放松,不必想太多。但沉淀对于思绪很活跃的我还是得学习。。。呵呵 ;)

最近天空不作美,拍的照片的机会少了许多。但之前小印度的照片还没完全秀完,所以在这里,再次和大家分享:

古色古香的建筑屋在小印度里到处都可以看到。

这样的旧屋让我想起当年外婆的旧家。

我喜欢拍破旧的房子,因为他的背后总隐藏着神秘的故事。

更多的照片会放在Sony网站上与大家分享哦 ! :)

Too close for comfort

DSC00327

上星期到小印度拍摄时,看到了这辆车顶上架了一个貌似音箱的东西。我心想,:”为什么会有人把音箱架在车顶上呢?“ 看了今天的英文报后才了解这个 “东西” 原来是Google所设计的相机 。目的是为了把捕捉到的新加坡街道图片放在他们所设计的虚拟地图上。

Last week during my photography outing in Little India, I was wondering why on earth would anyone mount a huge amplifier on top of a car? With the newspaper article out on Straits Times today, I finally understood the purpose behind the amplifier-looking object (which is actually a camera). It is a Google project that aims to put Singapore on the virtual map.

报道说道,:“这项计划将能提供网民360度,地面试的角度来观看新加坡。使用者也能以不同方式,例如:把图片放大,侧着看或甚至以任何一个方向随着街道走。”

According to the article, it says,” The program promises to offer netizens a 360-degree, ground-level perspective of Singapore. Tools will let users tilt, zoom in and move along the streets in any direction.”

这个对网民来说,在寻找地点,准确安排旅程或寻找隐秘餐厅来说, 看似一个很方便的工具,但。。。

It seems like the perfect solution for any netizens to locate a certain location, plan for their back-packing trips with accuracy, or find the hidden restaurant. The convenience seems great, but…

我总觉得比较像侵入人家的隐私。感觉太靠近,不是很舒服。如果你家的后院被他们拍摄,然后被放上网,你会舒服吗?

Somehow, it feels like an intrusion of privacy and too close for my own comfort. Would you feel comfortable if the backyard of your home is being shot and broadcasted on web?

 

我个人小小的意见,

Just my two cents worth of opinion.

乐在其中小印度 Fun at Little India

*All photos taken with Sony Alpha 300 DLSR. Lens used: DT18-200mm F3.5-6.3

如果心情烦躁,每天想做的事一直拖延着,我知道是时候“释放”自己了。

When you are feeling bored and frustrated and you are procrastinating to do the things you wanna do, it’s a sign to “release” yourself.

我释放自己的管道如下:

I release myself by doing this:

拍照! 

Photography!

摄影对我而言是在代言Sony Alpha DSLR相机之后的新嗜好。最近Sony非常慷慨的赞助了我两个lenses. 一个是 50mm F1.4, 另一个则是 DT18-200mm F3.5-6.3。好玩的程度不在话下,唯有和大家分享成果才能充分表达我的兴奋哟!

Photography is a newfound hobby after being the ambassador for Sony Alpha DSLR Series. Generous Sony sponsored me two new lenses recently for more great photos. YEAY! :) One is a 50mm F1.4 and the other is DT18-200mm F3.5-6.3. It’s beyond words to describe the fun I’m having, thus, the best way is to share the photos I’d taken with all of you!

上周六在新加坡小印度拍照,和大家分享!

Here’s sharing the pictures taken in Little India last Saturday!

在小印度里,到处都可以看到为屠妖节挂上色彩缤纷的装饰。太美丽了。我总觉得印度人对颜色非常敏感。配色大胆却又不会觉得奇怪的恶心。赞!

You can see beautiful decorations put up for Deepavali (Festival of Lights) everywhere in Little India. It’s absolutely gorgeous. I always feel the Indians have a great sense of colours, especially towards mix-matching bold colours without a tinge of awkwardness. Fabulous!

因为外婆以前住在小印度,所以8岁前的回忆其实大部分都在哪儿度过。我记得我和表姐弟们常在类似这样的小巷玩。看到这样的小巷仍然存在,开心的回忆总会涌上心头 :D

Most of my memories before 8 years old were spent in Little India because I would visit my maternal grandmother who used to live there. I remember playing with my cousins in lanes like the pictures above. To see the existence of these places evoke happy memories in me again.

拍照真的很好玩,尤其拍人。我和一些一样喜欢摄影的朋友聊起拍摄人的过程,原来大家都很怕被拍的人打!哈哈!但我想身为女生比较安全一些吧。。。呵呵 :P 而我最喜欢上面最右边的照片。原本我只是要拍巴杀(菜市场)里面的情景,却不料前面的男士一看到我在拍照,便随意的摆起pose让我拍!真是意外的惊喜!嘻嘻 ;)

Photography is really interesting, especially in taking people. It’s really funny that most of my photography enthusiasts friends are quite worried about taking photos of people, for they are afraid of being beaten up! Haha! I guess as a girl, I’m probably safer in that sense… hoho :P Anyway, among the photos above, I enjoy the one on the right hand side. Initially I just wanted to take a picture of the happenings in the market, the guy in front of me, upon seeing me taking photos, suddenly strike a pose for me! What a thrill! Hehe ;)

接下来再和大家分享跟多的照片哟!

More photos coming up!

 

乐在其中的淳佳

Cheers!
