20180426。入手打鳥長砲 Nikon Coolpix P900

DSCN0179.jpg

這幾年都在玩單眼,脫離數位相機的行列也有幾年了。最近迷上打鳥,很快就瞄準這台83x光學變焦、24-2000mm的火箭砲。趁騰龍旅鏡的30天鑑賞期未過,我決定退了騰龍,買這相對比較便宜的Nikon Coolpix P900,再升級單眼的機身。荷蘭某C家的網店做了我整十年的生意,終於遇到我破天荒去退貨了。在這P900入手後,去散步就能隨手拎著去打鳥。說實在,用慣了單眼,還真的很不適應變焦對焦的滴滴答答聲,而且對焦速度很慢。但想想用單眼長鏡打鳥就得抗幾公斤的鏡頭,而且這拍了小鳥不必裁圖,就折中玩玩吧!
After I consider to upgrade my DSLR camera to full frame, I decided to return the Tamron 18-400mm. Then, I still need a compact zoom camera to fulfill my new hobby: bird photography. After a quick search, I bought the Nikon Coolpix P900 with a 83x optical zoom 24-2000mm equivalent lens. The camera weight about 0.9kg, and it’s light enough to use in daily life or together with DSLR. Continue reading

20180420。庫肯霍夫花園 11th Visiting of Keukenhof (1)

IMG_7652.jpg

一年一度,趁著好天氣,跟婆婆結伴去庫肯霍夫鬱金香花園。今年遇到風信子、鬱金香和櫻花盛開,園內增添了不少新的景區,但四處只要有些特別的地方就一堆人,我們就盡量避開人潮走,最後還沒逛到一半的園區就離開了。這次帶的是騰龍的超級旅鏡,照片分兩輯分享。
Yes, this’s my 11th visiting of Keukenhof. These pictures were taken by Tamron 18-400mm, and will be shared in two posts. Continue reading

20180417。騰龍超級旅鏡入手 Tamron 18-400mm F/3.5-6.3 DI-II VC HLD

IMG_7472.jpg

身為旅鏡的擁護者,看到這支騰龍的超級旅鏡就雙眼一亮。其實四年前就用過騰龍的16-300mm,也就是雲南行(遊記點這)的功臣,但操了不到兩年就陣亡了。接著就用雙鏡(28-300mm的小白+17-55mm f/2.8的廣角)玩了兩年,雖然不嫌小白有點重,但就是鏡頭換來換去很麻煩,於是,想了幾個禮拜就把騰龍這支新的旅鏡B028(參考原廠介紹)敗了!當然,從300mm升級到400mm,拍鳥就很棒,加上鏡頭輕,帶出去散步也輕便許多。今天在附近小繞一圈、試拍了些花花鳥鳥,星期五要來去鬱金香花園單鏡走透透了!

20180407。鳥語花香 It’s Spring

IMG_6956.jpg

今天天氣超好,拎著長鏡到附近拍拍春色,還有拍鳥(大山雀、藍山雀、喜鵲、骨頂雞、白頰黑雁、鳳頭鸊鷉、鷦鷯、麻雀等)。這輯照片裡,有的喜歡的小鳥有加上裁圖,可以看清楚一點。
Today, the weather was top for outdoor activities. I decided to make pictures of the spring scenery, and also to spot birds (koolmees, pimpelmees, meerkoet, brandgans, fuut, winterkoning etc) in neighborhood. This section includes some crop pictures from original photo. Continue reading

【17返馬】20170803。亞庇 KK (17) 馬努干島 Manukan Island (2)

IMG_9413.jpg

這趟純放鬆的雙島一日遊深得公公婆婆的喜愛,我們也難得先體驗下老人式的玩法。在馬努干島待到下午三點,我們踏上歸途。晚上,同樣在酒店享受自助晚餐,過後就得收拾行李,準備第二天飛西馬了。
This Twin Islands Hopping Trip is a big success for a relaxing day, and Wim and Diny love it so much. We stayed at Manukan Island until 15 pm. Then, seatango brought us back to Sutera Harbour. In the evening, we went to have buffet dinner at Promenade Hotel for the third time. After that, it’s time to prepare for our departure the next day to West Malaysia. Continue reading

【17返馬】20170803。亞庇 KK (16) 馬努干島 Manukan Island (1)

IMG_9359.jpg

馬努干島是東姑阿都拉曼國家公園的第二大島,呈扁弧狀,南邊約1.5公里長的沙灘,海水蔚藍清淺,海裡魚兒很多(據說保證可以看到Nemo魚),是嬉水和浮潛的天堂。該島上有國家公園管理處,旅遊設施齊全,因而成了大多數出海一日遊的目的地。我們在這裡用了午餐,繼續擇點吹海風。
Manukan Island is the second largest island of Tunku Abdul Rahman National Park. There is a long white beach of about 1.5 km at its southern side, with its clear and calm sea water, forms a paradise for tourists to swim and snookering here. This island is well facilitated with resort and leisure activities, and is a popular tourist spot of KK. We had our lunch here, and continue enjoying sea breeze at the beach side. Continue reading

【17返馬】20170803。亞庇 KK (15) 沙比島 Sapi Island

IMG_9234.jpg

東姑阿都拉曼國家公園是馬來西亞第一個海洋國家公園,離亞庇約3-8公里,由五個小島組成:嘉亞島(Gaya Island),沙比島(Sapi Island),馬穆迪島(Mamutik Island),馬努干島(Manukan Island)和蘇洛島(Sulug Island)。除了美麗的沙灘和清澈的海水,這保護區內擁有許多特別的珊瑚和海洋生物,是浮潛和潛水的天堂。我們先來到嘉亞島西南邊的沙比島。Sapi是馬來語“牛”,可直譯為牛島。到了這島後,我們在大樹下吹海風、看風景,老外式地渡過了二個小時,再移駕到馬努干島吃午餐。
Tunku Abdul Rahman National Park is located between 3 to 8 km off from Kota Kinabalu, and consists of 5 islands: Gaya Island, Sapi Island, Mamutik Island, Manukan Island and Sulug Island. It’s the first ocean national park of Malaysia, and one of the snookering and diving paradise in Sabah. We visited Sapi Island first, and transferred to Manukan Island for lunch. Continue reading

上山(神山)後,來下海了。這天選了Amazing Borneo的海島一日遊(Beautiful Twin Islands Hopping),去沙比島(Sapi Island)和馬努干島(Manukan Island)玩。早上八點,導遊到酒店載我們到絲綢港灣Sutera Harbour,九點許就出海了。我們乘坐的小遊艇seatango,名過其實的海上探戈,極速往沙比島衝去。
After visiting Mt. Kinabalu, it’s time to visit islands nearby Kinabalu. We have chosen for the Beautiful Twin Islands Hopping, organized by Amazing Borneo, to visit Manukan and Sapi Islands. This morning at 8 am, our guide David came to hotel to pick us to Sutera Harbour, and we departed at 9 am to Sapi Island.
