瑞雪

小学就已经知道"瑞雪兆丰年"这句话, 昨夜, 下起了大雪. 新春降这样大的雪在我的记忆中只有2次. 上一次是198几年的大年初二...那年的雪是不是给所有的人带来了一年的好运已经不记得了. 现代的生活越来越紧张,各方面的竞争也愈加激烈,人们在拼搏努力的同时都希望着交个好运气. 我想这场大雪应该是好运气的象征吧.记得一位朋友说过，去年的雪是她的幸运使者. 也许该轮到我了... :)
看了最近的新闻，欧洲大部分地区也普降大雪,看来这个"丰年"征兆还是横跨欧亚大陆的. :D

Nikon D70 in hand

I said, I wanna buy a DC at the end of Jan instead of DSLR. 'cause the weight and expense of the lens. However finally I bought Nikon D70 with Nikkor 18 - 70mm 1:3.5-4.5G ED. Because the price of this kit is just about 150euro expensive than canon pro1 in China. And with a DSLR, I always have the opportunity to extend my lens devices. That certainly would be the issue in future. :) Even though I got this camera in hand on 27th Jan. For some reason, I haven't tested it carefully yet. Today I tried it and felt it is really good.

I am satisfied with the image quality and shortcut buttons at the back of the body, though some guys complained Nikon MMI design. I feel its MMI design is comfortable to use. :) The lens is good as well. I know there really are some shortcoming on this lens, like the dark angle problem and so on. However for studying photography, it is a quite good lens.

Besides that, I found the images shot by this camera look a little bit dark, but not seriously. I don't know it is a character of D70 or the problem of my skill. Normally I use EV +0.3 to compensate it. Ok, I hope I can have more time to use it and shoot more beautiful images.
