Festina Lente!!

I like apple very much.
Even computers, I would purchase Apple.
Today, I ate two kind of apples. They were sweet and a little bit sour. Green apple was particularly delicious.

And, I've been making the Apple computer work for five hours.

Today ; It had fascinating sky hadn't  it ? Don't you think so ?
I went to taking photos of wedding to Koshihaya-lake-town.

Actually speaking, I was afraid of today's weather that it might go to rain.
But, if anything it was lovely !!

I tried "Summilux 50mm ASPH" into practice as a first time.

I was satisfied from its pictures. They were fabulous beyond description outside my poor sense. I decided I would use it more from now on!!

Always wide angle lenses let me take unique photos.
At times, I'm apt to think myself "I might be a special photographer" or "I might be genius".
But it is not true. They mostly have been taking by special lenses and cameras.

I want to suit to them as quickly as possible. I would put my thought into practice.
I intend to take photos of wedding ceremony by my favorite lenses for many couples.

I had a walk through the Ginza in the late afternoon.

Today,  it was very fine day.
It wasn't too hot, also not too cold.
It had been blowing comfortable wind to me while I'd been there.

Please walk along the "Miyuki-Dori" street,  there is a "Leica shop Japan".
Of course I came into that shop and I learned about how to maintenance of my M9-P from service man of Leica.
Those methods taught from them were very simple. So I can use it as usually as other cameras. And I only should sweep it and keep clean after I finish taking photos of anything.

After I left there, I headed to Apple store Ginza.
I noticed many people were crowding in front of the store.
There are too many sad.
I couldn't feel Steve Jobs had been dead as fact.
I even thought I might have delusion. It is absolutely true.
May his soul rest in peace.

Today's shooting spot was "Ristrante Stella Polare" in Koshigaya Lake Town.
While waiting for the bridal couple, I took photos in the actual situation as a test. 
I got many marvelous pictures.
I hadn't seen such a high quality lens　for long time .

By the way, I restarted drinking coffee at my home from today.
Owing to the huge earthquake, I stopped doing it this spring.
Then, I saved up the one hundred yen coins I used to spend a cup of coffee.
I'm going to contribute the saving to sufferers of the earthquake.

The Carl Zeiss Stiftung was established by Ernst Karl Abbe in 1889.
I was too young to purchasing them, when I found that brand. I was only 12 years old.

As that time. only particular camera was able to attach the Carl Zeiss lenses. That was the CONTAX.
As well as, those lenses were pretty expensive, the Contax cameras were also expensive.

Therefor, ordinary user would purchase Pentax, Minolta, Olympus, Canon or Nikon.
They were enough to take many good photos.
Particularly, Nikon had been gradually growing up to world level.

It seems I was born with lowbrows by nature.
I could scarcely forget that advertisement copy.
It said  "Photo is dependent on lenses".

Now, I'm a enthusiastic Zeiss user since 1997

It was silent rain from last night.
I was wondering many couples would be worry about today's weather.
But, we had not rain in the afternoon. And, I thought happy to look over the restaurant's garden while I'd been waiting for couples.
And I could see that there were a lot of activity of tiny lives.

Bees were merrily looking for sweet nectar to suck.

Ants seemed busy to carry something important for them.

Almost just the wedding ceremony's time, the sky was gradually getting fine.
And, I'd started to take photos of couple,

During a noon recess,  I'd been cycling around a Soka atelier.
I could avoid from the rain, however the weather was almost cloudy all day !

I'm wondering it will be rainny, tomorrow. But, you don't have to worry.
Although sometimes we might be in worse weather, each in its own day on life is special.

On the way at that time, I've found a lot of colorful flowers.
They are hydrangeas which are well known as a rainy season's flower.

I'm anxious about if you are getting  bore.
But, I would like to say again that I didn't realize Japan has been covering with something wonderful always!! 

I heard that hydrangea's colour depends on soil when I was in kindergarten.
If soil acidity, their colour would be blue.  And if alkaline soil, they show us red.
And more, if the soil is natural, predictably purple.

But, surprisingly that theory was wrong !!
I could know it just now from the wiki.

Any way, Blue flowers bring me something fresh!

Carl Zeiss C-Sonnar 50mm F1.5

Today;
I went to Stella Porale in Koshigaya Lake town.
That Italian restaurant is covered with many types of plants, and they always show to us colorful flowers and fresh trees in each season.
Recently,  I have begun to interest in watching plants.

Plants never speak to me, but they seem to talk to me something calm, occasionally.
If I were poet, I'd write to express this impression.

But, I'm happy. I can see climactic moment of couples every week, instead.
