Trip to China : Day 2 at Qing Dao (青島) - Part II


packaging the Bottle of Beer into boxes...


workers outside delivering the Beer..

this the place where we taste the Ale... (this place, factory of Qingdao, is extremely big...lots of building inside...but no worry the factory will provide u a local factory tour guide to guide u to the right place and explain everything to u) ^__^

just to take picture.. =P

some souvenir that u may keep for memories...

I'm not very sure should I call it Ale or not... This Jar of Beer is extremely fresh...
Just taken out from the factory and no gas yet...

my tour leader is serving us to taste the beer...

If u straightly drinks the beer u wont feel too much different but more smooths and fresh...
ONLY if u eat the PEANUTS in the packages holding in Mr. Kong's palm b4 u drinks, then u will be able to taste the beer which is in Extremely SWEET (of cos not sweet as candy T.T)...
I'm believe that u will be missing it (taste) for a very long time... (I'm not bluffing) ^__^

could u see how clear the beer is? No Gas...or should I say Soda?
(Sorry for my bad english..hope u able to understand what Im saying... ^o^)

Different kind of Qingdao Beer...
I saw Stout too... What a surprise.... I had never seen it in Kuching (my hometown in Sarawak, Malaysia)...
in Bottles...

in Tins/Cans...

see that.... so much foam within... this beer just out from factory not more than 24 hours...
even housefly like it too...LOLLLL

U may bought these in Box as a souvenir or gift...
They come with 2 Free Cups for Beer Drinking.. ^__^


away from factory now...

____________________________________________________________________________________

Took these pic when I'm in the very High Tower...
Its very cold up here due to very strong wind keep on blowing... =P

The weather is very damp with thick fog...
After taking the picture of the scenery, I was very disappointed as hardly see the clear picture...
But thanks to Mac Aperture 3, once I click on the Auto Enhance mode... I get the whole clear picture (as u may seen now)....
Im so happy that I made the right decision...(as I had been thinking long to decide whether buy it or not)...
Anyway, Mac save all my pictures... yippee.....(IT worth to invest...) ^___^










Sea Cucumber (just a SAMPLE, not real) and two life Abalone....
Each Abalone cost RMB100... including cooking... ^_^

visiting the old German Building (museum)...






see those 3 rectangle hole from the left of the wall?
It is to let the Owner to see who comes to visit him....then he decide whether to meet the visitor or not....
The visitors were all serve to sit under the staircase...(view had been block by tourist..-_-|||)...Sofa and Table where all place there...seems like a small guest room with no door....







Picture below is the Old German Building's window with very brilliant design...
Why ?
First, once the window is open, it won't simply fall down which it happen to hurt many ppl's finger when they place their hand under the window... (look at the curve at the side of the window)

Secondly, there's a lil tiny hole in the middle of "stair" of the window... the "stair" is to stop the rains drop flow into the room, the hole is to release the water (the rain water) to the outside of the room...

Here's the clear pic of the hole..and the "stair" (dividend by the gap...the one with the hole,which is the front before the gap is lower than the gap behind)...

This cupboard is used to store the Guns...
It is place in the master bedroom.... Also protect from children for cannot simple open it...
How?
It is specially design for the owner of house...
He need to straight his arms to turn/row and push the 2 column (at side of the cupboard) to open it... ^__^



cute couples..


ppl selling fruits....

Baked Starfish... for tibits... I guess u guys must be doubting Starfish can be treated as FOOD???... muhahahha...well, when I first saw it I couldn't believe with my own eyes too...(will show u guys how to eat this in my coming blog post)

going for a boat ride...yeah~~~

















seaweed under the wood...

If u plenty of time (as a tourist)...u may buy the kites and have fun here... many ppl sells here so no worry that u couldn't find any =P...they can even teach u how to fly it... these kite is not often to be seen as it is quite long...


visiting the Night Market in Qingdao....
first try with my 580EXII.... so heavy... my arms so tired after holding it for awhile... T_T

Droste effect – 無限重覆的照片

Droste effect – 無限重覆的照片(http://photoblog.hk/wordpress/12950)


By Nok On July 8, 2011 · Leave a Comment


「Droste effect」,有些人命名為「時空漩渦」,一幅照片就似是無限延續與重覆,沒有盡頭。「從前有個爸爸,給兒子說故事︰「從前有個爸爸,給兒子說故事︰「從前有個爸爸,給兒子說故事︰「從前有個爸爸,給兒子說故事︰「從前有個爸爸,給兒子說故事︰「從前有個爸爸,給兒子說故事……
大概就是這樣吧?
拉到最底,會有一個教學,說如何使用After Effects製造這種效果,不過只有英文版……












via My Modern Met

有興趣的朋友就來試試吧!

原本已為可用Photoshop CS4外掛教學 [點此] ,結果下載的內容怪怪的。(可能要用AEcs4吧)
只好跟著Flickr [原教學點此] 一步步做。只有英文教學,沒看到中文的,且原始教學有點舊,軟體及code都要更新,弄好久才用出來,在這把大致過程寫一下:

1. 先下載GIMP軟體 (Flickr教學提供的下載是舊版)
2. 再下載The Mathmap (Flickr教學提供的下載是舊版)
安裝Mathmap (下載以上的Mathmap好像會自動安裝) 
a. Copy mathmap.exe, libgsl.dll, libgslcblas.dll into the gimp plugin directory. 到:C:\Program Files\GIMP-2.0\lib\gimp\2.0\plug-ins
b. Copy mathmaprc and new_template.c into a new directory named:
C:\Documents and Settings\ "your-user-name" \.gimp-2.2\mathmap.)
3. 準備好要作的照片(先用Photoshop挖個洞-就是要旋轉處)
4. 開啟GIMP 到濾鏡Filters-->一般性Generic-->Mathmap-->Mathmap
5. 開啟Mathmap後在 Expression 下將原本的資料刪除,貼上 Droste Effect Code 
6. 在User Values 下調出自己要的效果, 一張圖可以有很多變化, 靠自己去try try 

網路有用成Flash, 或After Effect做的影片, 很有興趣來學學.用AE做Droste Effect影音教學檔

Apple strikes on Samsung, wants to ban the Galaxies in the US - GSMArena.com news

Apple strikes on Samsung, wants to ban the Galaxies in the US

Apple has made the next step into the patent war against Samsung. Yesterday Apple has filed a complaint to the US International Trade Commission (USITC) requesting a ban for every Galaxy S phone in the USA.
Samsung might be dropping its latest complaint against Apple in the USA (which by the way had the same purpose - ban the iGadgets in the USA), but Apple doesn’t really care. It has just filed a counter suit in the USITC requesting to stop the import of all flavors of the first generation Galaxy S phone - Captivate, Fascinate, Infuse 4G and Galaxy S 4G, the QWERTY droids Intercept and Transform, and the Galaxy Tab and Tab 10.1.
The reason for the ban request is once again the infringement of 6 patents - 4 technical and 2 design ones.
As it seems, the patent war is nowhere near its end and we will be seeing more of these for sure. We bet everything will eventually be settled with the help of a huge amount of cash and patent exchange between the two sides.
