[Daily Photo] Nuremberg Frauenkirche, Germany / 德國紐倫堡聖母教堂

Share this :
I took this photo in Nuremberg, Germany. The building, Church of Our Lady (Frauenkirche in German) is an example of brick Gothic architecture. The clock of the church is called "Männleinlaufen", a mechanical clock installed in 1509 showing the Holy Roman Emperor with the prince-electors surrounding him.

德國紐倫堡的聖母堂,典型的哥德式磚式建築。

[Daily Photo] Inside the Henry Ford Museum / 亨利福特博物館內

Share this :
This photo was taken inside the Henry Ford Museum (in Dearborn, Michigan). Seeing the exhibition inside is like seeing the whole of automotive history. I chose a small aperture (F/8.0) which not only helped me to get the large depth of field, but also created the cool "star burst" effect to the light source. The drawback is, in this circumstance, the shutter speed will be very slow. Therefore, I suggest using a tripod to prevent blurring.

此照片拍攝於美國亨利福特博物館。走進館中猶如欣賞一場汽車的演化史。我使用小光圈(F/8.0)拍攝,讓我可以取得大景深,另外在燈光的地方還可以有星芒的效果。不過缺點是館中的光線昏暗,必須使用腳架才能在小光圈下成功的拍攝照片。

[Daily Photo] Sunset on a small pond on North Campus / 夕陽與小池塘

Share this :
This photo was taken on North Campus of the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. I planned to take some sunset photos that day, so I went to the School of Music at 8:00 pm. This was the first spot on my schedule. In the foreground is a small pond with beautiful reflections from the sky and the shore. The building in the background is Earl. V. Moor Building, whose appearance is designed to look like piano keys.

此照片拍攝於密西根大學的北校區。這天我專程在晚上8點左右來校園拍攝夕陽,不過當天的夕陽並不壯觀。最好看的大概就是照片中的時候了。照片中的建築為音樂系系館,系館的外觀刻意被設計成像鋼琴鍵一般(看到那黑鍵了嗎?)

[Daily Photo] Beautiful trail on Ford Lake / 通往湖中的步道

Share this :
This photo was taken at North Bay Park in Ypsilanti, Michigan. The park has a very long, narrow trail leading into Ford Lake. The view from the trail is magnificent. I can't wait  until winter to see the whole lake surface frozen.
By the way, I met a photographer in this park. He was carrying binoculars and a Nikon camera with a really huge 500 mm telephoto lens. I had a brief chat with him. He was taking photos of birds, and he told me what kind of birds I could find in the park. It was my first time that I met another photographer in Michigan.

此照片拍攝於美國密西根州Ypsilanti市的北灣公園。公園中有一條狹長的步道跨越福特湖的一角。步道旁栽滿了柳樹,壯闊的景象美不勝收。我在公園中還遇到了一位鳥類攝影師,背著長長的鏡頭和望遠鏡。他向我介紹了幾種在公園內能拍到的鳥類(很遺憾名稱我全部聽不懂)。第一次在異鄉遇到攝影同好,感覺還滿不錯的。
