Ah CI and her hobby

Ah Ci like her drawing and she can spend long hours concentrete on her craft thing, may it be a bookmark, or small greeting card. One topic she like to write is ' l give mum, l love mum', she has since making a lot of thing for me. When she examine her act work, and she so satisfied with it, and the only person she want to present to is me, her mum. Sometimes when her dad scold her for some mistake, she would start to write something in a piece of paper, and later on she will showing me, ' no love dad ' with symbol and colours. Which I find it quite unique, because she make drawings as her source of expression of emotions.

But recently Ah Ci had been transfer her enthusiasm in craft to her television, she have been addicted to the television day and night, as long as she wake up she would automatically switch on the TV and stick the face onto it for hours. Seeing this may not be a healthy hobbies for a 6 years old child, I would restrict her time for watching, and try my best to distract her attention by sending her some tasks which she would not normally do, like cleaning the floor, tidy the room etc

Chinese saying it take 3 days to learn the bad habib and it take 3 years to learn a good one. My lesson is to try to avoid those bad hobby because it hard to get rid of once addicted.

Photography

Recently I have been in the madness of getting a new camera within my little budget, I have search tons of websites, from the auction site to those of review site to choose my ideal camera, in the process of the searching and survey, I manage to come up with my so called conclusion and two-cents opinions in the photography world.

Many photography fans would choose a DSLR (A digital single-lens reflex camera is a digital camera that uses a mechanical mirror system and pentaprism to direct light from the lens to an optical viewfinder on the back of the camera.) DSLR camera is different from that of the normal camera in the sense that we can use different lens to the DSLR in order to shot variation of scene, which produces special effect to the images/result.

When we said PRO in photography it means that professional shooting, e.g., shoot a sunset mode to a very high quality perfect picture which others normal camera couldn’t. Basically, when you are a pro meaning that you can shoot a good picture with your DSLR.

There are two types of most common and complete range of lens provider, which is Canon and Nikon. They are leading the market in terms of variety and quality. That also means if you want a DSLR it would be better to get these two brand as to the wide range of lens for choice in order for different photography needs.

As of me, the price of certain lens, telephoto, fisheye view, macro lens, is flying high without the reach of my budget, so what is the point of getting a DSLR if end up at the end we cannot purchase a lens to suit the needs?

In view of this, I have determine to change my target from a DSLR to a semi-pro camera, semi pro means that you can still do some of the pro-thing, without need to actually purchase a pro-camera. The alternative is purchase a more high-end digital camera, e.g., a Canon Ixus which can produces certain images equivalent to those of the fisheye, wide angle lens, and also standard focus point 18-55mm which in turn able to do some very satisfying image.
