《Pond scene in 6x7 Mamiya RB67》
The pond photographed today was unintentionally discovered in the jungle three years ago. My car is parked on the roadside and the pond can be reached on foot in 5 minutes. If you continue, the trail will go south along the river and about 15 kilometers reaching the lakeside away from Toronto Ontario.

Tamron 500mm Reflex Lens 騰龍500mm反射鏡頭

I bought a used Tamron 500mm f/8 mirror reflex lens last year. This kind of mirror reflective lens was produced in the 70s when I was learning film photography. It was created for photographer shooting with a longer focal length but in a compact size and light weight. However, this kind of reflective lens dropped out in favor in the 90s.

Making Cherry Blossoms like Chinese painting 將櫻花入畫

On 19 April 2012, I went to High Park again to take photos of the cherry blossoms.  This time, I tried to make the photo of cherry look like traditional Chinese painting.  When taking photos, I already had a draft of a Chinese painting in my mind with which to select suitable flowers on the tree.  I selected those cherry looked like those in my "draft painting".

Creation of an artistic photo 創作一幀優美的照片

Yesterday, I went for a coffee with a friend.  Our chat focused on the photography technique.  Recently, I have posted the "Cherry Blossoms in High Park" which was well received by friends.  I have taken 600 photos within 7 hours in the park.  Some of my friends also went there but returned without avail.  They said that there were not many things for photography.  Why is it that in the same place one could take many photos whereas some other could not?  In my opinion, they are lacking three senses:  observation, creativity, aesthetics.

Cherry Blossoms in High Park 櫻花綻放峭寒春

The early spring presents to photographers a fresh scene;
The willow twigs half yellow and half tender green.
When High Park's covered with blooming flowers,
Then it would be the visitors' busiest hours.

It was still cold in spring and rain had come for a few days.  As the weather changed better though cloudy, I could go ahead to see cherry blossoms in High Park in Toronto.
