經典中的經典﹕BENZ 1955鷗翼SLR

By admin, July 31, 2010 10:19 pm

從去年頭CMC公佈此產品後就一直在等待﹑到近3個月的推遲﹑前兩個星期終于摸到了樣品﹐直至今天才第一時間跑去車模店把它捧了回家。

喜歡50年代奔馳鷗翼的朋友們可能會問﹐這部怎麼跟普通版的300SL長相不太一樣﹐要知道此鷗翼SLR不同彼鷗翼SL﹐它來的其實更加跑味濃厚。題外話﹕當年的那次歷史性賽道悲劇令BENZ決定退出以後所有的比賽﹐SLR也就從那時起在人間慢慢地消失了。

自己覺得CMC的做工越來越嚴謹﹑部件也越來越精細﹐作為玩家們當然也越來越愛不釋手。看那漂亮的弧線﹑細緻的車輪鋼絲﹑紅色的內飾還有那可以旋轉90度角的小窗等都添加了這鷗翼的觀賞度和收藏樂趣。

這下好了﹐它終于可以跟原來Minichamps的銀色奔馳300SL結為夫婦了。

Autoart Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-2 Balboni & Porsche

I saw the real orange LP560-2 Balboni in Lamborghini’s show room last month, and it’s quite shape especially with the stripe deco and the coming Porsche 959 is also another highly expected collector’s item from Autoart, hopefully its upgraded quality can bring much improvement over Exoto’s 10 years old Porsche 959.

Prince Graphite Original, The very 1st Generation

By admin, July 14, 2010 11:32 am

Recently, I acquired a rare piece of collector’s item and almost complete my POG collections except the mid and mid-plus versions. It is the very first generation of POG, the one with 1 stripe, head size 110 (though a bit bigger than other POG 110 4 stripes and heavier). This version came out around 1978 and Made in USA. This version of POG was used by many big names back in the 80s, super stars like Andre Agassi, Gabriela Sabatini and of course my favouite, Michael Chang.

Searching through the net, I discovered there are actually two different versions of POG with 1 stripe, see the followings:

POG with 1 stripe – very 1st version, no side deco (ie, blank on both side)

POG with 1 stripe - the 2nd version, note Prince Logo and side deco

Some more information I found on Tennis-Warehouse Forum

POG 1 = Tear dropped shaped head single line with no grommets/no bumper and no printing on top or side or racket (possibly just sticker) except for Prince/graphite- circa 1978

POG 2 = Tear dropped shaped head, single line with grommets/no bumper no printing on top or side or racket (possibly just sticker) except for Prince/graphite- circa 1980?

POG 3 = Normal shaped head, single line with grommets and bumper, printing on side is “graphite series 110″ top has no printing front is Prince/Graphite. Printed stringing weight is 70-80 – Circa 1983

POG 3.5 = Same as 3 but side says “graphite 110″, String weight 60-75
Circa ?

POG 4 = Norm head, 4 line with grommets/bumper, printing on side is “graphite 110″, top is “110″ , side sticker says “series 110″ front is Prince/Prince- , Printed stringing weight is 60-75 – Circa 1987

POG 4.5 = Same as POG 4 but top is printed “oversize”, side is “graphite oversize” , front is Prince/Prince, printed stringing weight is 50-60 -
Circa > 1987 (any ideas?)

POG 5 = Straight shaft-Not sure of OS had straight shaft?

POG 6 = Tour

本地極其誇張的樓盤廣告

By admin, July 14, 2010 11:08 am

今天又見陶傑好文

西班牙贏得世界盃,香港有何「啟示」?有。看看本地的樓盤廣告,名字越來越誇,最新的一個,叫「帝峰.皇殿」,其他還有皇廷、御花園、君臨天下、皇府山、御林皇府。中國人在潛意識裏極度迷戀帝皇,但民居敢僭稱什麼帝峰、皇殿,若在三百年前,北京知道了,必定滿門抄斬。

單反扮Cool秘訣 (轉文)

By admin, July 10, 2010 10:29 pm

一定要選最Cool的相機

最粗的鏡頭

上就得上最大的遮光罩

直接把相機給蓋上

直徑最小也得77mm

什么閃光燈啊,柔光罩啊,手柄啊

能給他接的全給他接上

腰上別鏡頭包,包里面有鏡頭

口袋里放個Windows Mobile智能機算景深

HTC,屏幕特大那种

只要一拍照儿,甭管儿對沒對上都得來一句

The depth of field of the subject 1 meter away at F2.8 and 50mm is 0.04m with near limit of  .98m and far limit of 1.02m.

一口儿地道的專業味儿

倍儿有面子!!

肩上再背個三角架,材料用碳纖維的

光快裝板就買上十几個

再買個測光表,二十四小時測光

就是一個字儿——Cool!

買CF卡就得花個万八千的

你周圍攝友不是一頭一機就是一頭多機

你要是機身沒鏡頭多啊

你都不好意思跟人家打招呼

你說這樣的裝備,一套得花多少錢

我覺得怎么著也得五六万吧

五六万?那是入門

十万起

你別嫌貴,還不打折

你得研究文藝青年裝Cool心理

愿意買六万的鏡頭

根本不在乎在多掏六千買附件

什么叫裝Cool文藝青年你知道嗎?

裝Cool文藝青年就是,買什么東西都買最Cool的,不買最好的

所以我們文藝青年搞攝影的口號就是

不求最好,但求最Cool!

第二次車模大掃除

By admin, July 8, 2010 1:28 pm

今天經過了5個小時馬不停蹄地收拾后,終于成功的令房間利用空間大大增加,比第一次的時候好得多。還有就是車模的層疊方式有改進,橫一排豎一排,這樣的力學擺法會減少對底層車模的壓力。

這次盤點後大概有275台左右﹐九個月增加了近80台﹐但的確以前想收藏的那些車模都已經進入了倉庫﹐是時候應該認真開始幫他們拍照了。

LEAPING WITH JAGUAR – 75th Anniversary Exhibition in H.K.

By admin, July 4, 2010 5:56 pm

Jaguar is one of my favourite British super car makers besides Aston Martin and Bentley.

I saw 3 of the most wanted Jag in today’s exhibition. Signatures such as E-Type 4.2, MK2 and the Holy Grail XJ220! Also the latest XJ series, the design kept Jaguar XJ’s tradition, but tail seemed it’s borrowed from Bentley Continental Flying Spur, actually one of the potential customers commented it during his chat with the sales on-site. :)
