還是真正的相機好

時下的手機內建相機似是基本裝備,但無論廠商如何強調其拍攝能力(註一),其鏡頭還不是一個字便能概括: (註二)。原因明顯不過:賣三四五千元的貨品,鏡頭的成本能佔多少呢?

曾幾何時,為了補強花了我五千元的手機之攝影功能,我出動了珍藏十多年的放大鏡(註三)。不過,放大鏡平日放在公司,所以今日早前兩幀相片只能嘗試拉遠主體距離後再zoom in,有目共睹,結果不算是「強差人意」,只能算作「不能接受」。

每次有人向我問及新型號手機時,除了令我想起我如何為它們做Stress Test外(註四),我只會粗略介紹它的特點(例如N95的鏡頭有Auto-Focus),同時,以專業知識告之對方,所謂的像素只是數字罷了。我可以隨便寫一個程式把一百萬像的照片推高至二百萬像,甚至三百萬像,但不等於照片更清晰,沒錯,像素越低照片越差,但像素越高不等於照片越靚。最好莫過於拍幾張照片再放到電腦上看來引証。

回正題,HCM PRO RX-79[G]實在造得太仔細了,只用手機拍攝有點對不起它(對不起我那$125),所以還是拿出真正DC來拍。即使那部銀行送的、差點被我放賣的O記相機,用來拍模型還是比手機好。唉,幾千銀買部電話丫拿‥‥

這個奇怪的姿勢,是扭動了全身關節,一步踏前、扭腰、怒啤、橫斬。相機設定為自動對焦、自動閃燈、近距拍攝,所以背境變黑(預定效果)。沒想到這模型造得真的太仔細了,眼睛是青色半透物料,在閃燈下反似雙眼發光,這就可以做出晚間叢林出動的場境嗎?

註一:當年金鐘站的牆身都貼滿了N70的廣告,又是拍照又是拍攝又玩LiveBlog。
註二:基於人生安全為由,留白。
註三:參閱January 20, 2006之「手提相機微距攝影大法」。
註四:Stress Test 和糟質是不同的,我絕對不會承認那就是虐待。

kid can't resist candy, me can't resist rx79[g]. esp that this 1:200 version has many advantages over the 1:100 mg version (which is nearly 8 years ago).

improvements:
neck - can raise, so it can stare at the sun/star.
shoulders - joints can swing outward, shoulders can move fore and back.
hands - larger angle of movement.
waist - form by two parts, allow leading left/right and fore/back.
foots - form by two parts (compare with 1 in mg)
foots protectors - can lift upward
back case: added bar to lock the gun parts.

reduction:
variable back-rack - now need to exchange parts.
elbows - simplify from three to two. not able to re-produce fold-up position.
swords door - door joint removed.
cock-pit door - not able to open
elevator arm - not able to open
knee - fix (although i've no idea why mg version can move)

When I saw the poster of Transformer (4D cinema!) I thought of you! I am sure you would want to watch it.... although it is in the airport!

Before yestereday, I was considering whether PSP or PS3 version of the Transformer. After trying the NDS version, I decided that I will only watch the movie.

4D movie might be cool, hope the impact and effect would be great.
