Visual story squinted at Thailand

Always like to leave adequate leeway, even if the food will only eat seven full, leaving three slowly aftertaste;

Even met the people look forward to also do not want to be too strong,

Feel steady and the enduring as the universe is the most true romance;

Also like finally to the place you want to go, do not ask her perfect and comprehensive in the lens,

The most true feelings only capture to interact with her, leaving a space,

Back is full of warmth, and meet again,

Still looking for the same thing.

Like "617" recordThailand, "Mi" eyes, but have unlimited tension.

Here, hold the all zero powerHere, hold the all zero power

A screen size of "film camera 6 x 17" was the photographer affectionately known as "617", she has a special taste of photographed subject expression, although in the digital camera and the "war" in which she appeared to be inadequate, but the trip to Thailand, but I have a special liking for her, but we have a pleasant cooperation, a collection of a special "squinted at the Thailand" memory.

"Mi" is not really narrowed eyes, is to describe the format than usual format is more narrow, like "big eyes narrowed into slits".

In the "617 old friends"

SLR camera friends all know "full", is the photoreceptor digital camera area as the most commonly used 135 film format, its size is 36mm �� 24mm, also is the small format cameras (such as the canon 5D2 etc.). Like the canon 7D APS-C and APS-H size than full width smaller, but also belongs to the small frame.

Static and speechless, share peaceStatic and speechless, share peace

Medium format camera is to use a long wide called "120" film than unequal size camera, 120 film width is 6cm, commonly used in the medium with 6 �� 4.5 (645), 6 x 6, 6 x 7, 6 x 9 and 6 x 12, relatively small size, medium, film the camera has a large format camera. Large format generally use page film, rather than the film, the smallest and most commonly used in a 4 x 5 inches, again upwards of 4 x 6, 8 x 8, 8 x 10, 10 x 12, 12 x 15, 10 x 18, 18 x 24 good variety, large format camera to be more complex than medium format camera.

Years of erosion, to change the mindYears of erosion, to change the mind

More special, 617 pictures, 617 sensitive area of conventional 6cm x 17cm. Also the use of the 120 film, the photosensitive area of it than 5D2 photosensitive area will be nearly 12 times. Because the area than the commonly used medium big many, so it is generally not considered in. But 6cm �� 17cm area than large format small many, so it can not be called a large-format camera. It is independent of the camera (also called wide book is placed in large format camera sequence.).

"Yellow gown India" everywhere yellow monks

Wide camera is good shooting scenes. And the expression of particular mood, because of its size, often can create special effects. Thailand historical sites there are many can mimic the wide performance. Imitation is also very simple, is take the time to steady the camera, try to choose suitable for horizontal composition of the scene.
