A Hong Kong Peak Sunset 香港山頂的日落

上週六的天氣很不錯。我沒有見過這麼藍的天空已很長一段時間了，
而且雲的形態也很美麗。也許是因為前一天下過雨...
我當然把握這個好機會，去了香港山頂拍照及拍片！

我看到非常美麗迷人的夕陽，我把它拍下來。我很高興影片效果十分之好。
您可能已經注意到，我最近迷上了5D Mark II的拍片功能。我認為它比拍照需要更多的技巧，
我覺得很有挑戰，也令我得到滿足感。我覺得這能刺激我的創造力，所以我希望大家會欣賞！

Last Saturday the weather was very nice. I haven't seen such a blue sky in a long time,

and the cloud formations were beautiful as well. Perhaps it’s because it had rained the day before...
I certainly got a good opportunity to take pictures and a video at the Hong Kong Peak!

I saw a very beautiful sunset and I was able to capture it on video. I was very pleased with my video.
You have probably noticed that I have recently become addicted with the video function on my 5D Mark II.
I think it requires more skill than taking photo in my opinion…
I find it challenging and also very satisfying. I find it’s stimulating my creativity, so I hope you all enjoy it!

 

 

Rafael's Roma Vacation Episode XII - Eating in Rome

Episode XII

Eating in Rome

吃在羅馬是一個意外的驚喜！雖然一物口味較重，有一些真的令我欣賞，如我在酒店吃

早餐時吃的巧克力蛋糕。還有在酒店附近的傳統的意大利餐館也給我一個大驚喜。

我去了一家在我的酒店附近叫做Piccolo Abruzzo的餐廳。當我第一次去那兒，沒有菜單，

接待我的是一個非常酷的女侍應。她首先給我們一瓶水，然後，所有的食物只是一直來 ...

再未！再來！第一道菜，第二，第三，第四...所有的菜式就一直來了！

讓我驚喜的這一切，食物只是一直的送來。

因為我沒有叫任何食物，我不是太知道我要被這樣服務。這是一個套餐。

我最後得得到了10道美味的菜式，豐富的意大利農場風格的食物。

接待任我們的人都是非常有禮的人，每道菜都非常美味！

我想知道這是否一些傳統的羅馬盛宴...我來到這家餐廳兩次，因為食物是如此令人驚喜，

我建議你去那裡吃！如果計算我吃了多少道菜，這裡的價格真是非常合理。

大約消費 40歐元一位。我吃了這麼多的食物已經幾乎不能走路了，

這肯定是我在羅馬吃的最好的餐館。

Eating in Rome was a surprise! Even although some of foods were heavy,

others really impressed me, like the chocolate cake I ate for breakfast in the hotel.

Eating in the traditional Italian restaurants around our hotel also give me a big surprise.

I went to a restaurant called Piccolo Abruzzo near my hotel. When I first went there,

there was no menu, and I was served by a very cool looking waitress.

 She first bought us a bottle of water, and then, all the food just kept comming...

and comming and comming! The first course, the second, third, fourth...

all the dishes just kept coming! I was so amazed with all this food and it just kept comming.

Because I didn't order any food I wasn't too sure what I was going to be served. It was a set menu.

 I think I ended up with 10 courses of delicious and hearty Itallian farm style food.

The people who served us were really nice people and each dish was just delicious!

I 'm wondering if it was some traditional Roman feast...I came to this restaurant twice because

 the food was so amazing and I recommend you go and eat there! The price was very reasonable too,

 considering how many courses I ate. I think it costed around 40 Euro for one. I could barely walk after

 eating so much food and it was definitely the best restaurant I ate at while I was in Rome.

A Symphony of Lights - TST, Hong Kong

我到過香港尖沙咀很多次了。我已經在這裡拍過很多圖片，

因為你可以在這裡看到很漂亮的景觀，這是標誌性和令人印象深刻的香港景色。

晚上，你能看到所有建築物亮了起來。對於我來說，這是香港最美麗的地方。

我一直都是在晚上8:00觀看幻彩詠香江的。雖然我看過很多次這節目，

但這是我第一次把表演拍成錄像。我希望大家喜歡！

I have been to TST in Hong Kong many times already. I have taken many pictures there

because you get a good view of the impressive and iconic Hong Kong skyline.

At night, you get to see all the buildings lit up. For me, it is the most beautiful place in Hong Kong.

I always watch the Symphony of Lights at 8:00pm. Although I've watched the show many times before,

 this is the first time I've videoed the show. I hope you all enjoy it!

Rafael's Roma Vacation Episode XI - Basilica di Santa Maria Maggiore

Episode XI

Basilica di Santa Maria Maggiore

 在羅馬的聖母大殿，是一個古老的羅馬天主教教堂。這是四大主教堂或四教皇聖殿之一。

這是一個非常漂亮的教堂。我到那兒一看週日禮拜。我在那裡拍了很多照片。

那裡的地下層有一個金娃娃雕像, 真是非常漂亮。

The Basilica di Santa Maria Maggiore is an ancient Roman Catholic Marian basilica of Rome.

It is one of the four major or four papal basilicas. It’s a very beautiful basilica.

I went there on Sunday to watch a church service. I took many photos there.

There is a gold baby statue on the ground floor. It is very beautiful.

Got a beautiful woman 抱得美人歸

四月十日, 為好友豬仔和Josephine拍了一輯中式旗袍照片。

拍輯地點為盧九花園, 福隆新街, 還有一些澳門的特色景點。

當日天氣有點陰暗, 初時都有點擔心拍輯效果, 辛好當我看到照片時都常非滿意!

因為他們不想公開太多照片, 所以只選了一些出來分享, 請大家欣賞。

On the 10th of April, I took a series of Chinese cheongsam photos for my friends, Chu Chai and Josephine.

I shot the photos in places like Lou Lim Iok garden, Fulong New Street,

and other attractions in and around Macau.

The weather was a bit dark, from the beginning I was a bit worried because

I wasn’t sure about the quality of the pictures.

When I saw the photos, I was very satisfied with the pictures!

Because they don't want to many public photos,

I only chose some pictures to share here. I hope you all enjoy them.

Macau - Largo do Senado

這是我在澳門拍攝的第一輯影片，新馬路議事亭前地是澳門最繁忙的大道，
在這裡你可以看到許多古老的葡式建築。

因為是第一次拍攝影片，有好多地方都沒有注意到。
雖然拍得不是很好, 但我都很享受拍攝和製作過程，希望大家會喜歡!

This is the first film I made in Macau, Largo do Senado is the most busy avenue in Macau,

you can see the many ancient portuguese architecture here.

Because this is the first time I made a series of films, there are many things I have not noticed.

Although the film is not very good, but I enjoy filming and the production process, hope you enjoy it!
