برگرد به کنارم

2009-07-14T08:26:34Z

حسابش از دستم در رفته است.
نمی دانم چند روز شده که ندیدمت .
چند روز شده که صدایت را نشنیده ام
آه خدای من
دلم برای همه جایت تنگ شده
همه جا
چشمانت
گوش هایت
دمت
لب هایت
…
…
کاش زودتر می دیدمت
کاش …
کاش …
یادش بخیر
با هم می رفتیم توی پستوی مغازه آصغرآقا
یادت هست
چه روزهایی نبود که در جوی خیابان ولی عصر در مورد آینده مان صحبت نکنیم. در مورد تعداد زوجین. در مورد بچه های آینده. اسم هاشون …
آه خدایا …
عزیزم یعنی الان کجایی؟
نکنه با کسه دیگه ای باشی
آه نه … جان مادرم نه …
فکرش هم دیوانه ام می کند
می خواهم مرگ موش بخورم
می خواهم به این زندگی لعنتی پایان دهم
برگرد به کنارم
برگرد
برگرد

پ.ن : این نامه رو در کنار یک موش در کنار خیابان ولی عصر پیدا کردم در حالی که مرده بود و یک موش دیگر که احتمالا برگشته بود داشت بالای سرش گریه می کرد و مدام می گفت دیدی برگشتم … ولی چرا نیستی … !
پ.ن : آدم یاد آمدی جانم به قربانت ولی حالا چرا می افتد.

خسته ام از این کویر

2009-07-13T21:55:57Z

خسته ام از این کویر، این کویر کور و پیر
این هبوط بی دلیل این سقوط ناگذیر
آسمان بی هدف، بادهای بی طرف
ابرهای سربه راه، بیدهای سربه زیر
ای نظاره شگفت ای نگاه ناگهان
ای هماره در نظر ای هنوز بی نظیر
آیه آیه ات صریح سوره سوره ات فصیح
مثل خطی از هبوط مثل سطری از کویر
مثل شعر ناگهان مثل گریه بی امان
مثل لحظه های وحی، اجتناب ناپذیر
ای مسافر غریب، در دیار خویشتن
با تو آشنا شدم با تو در همین مسیر
از کویر سوت و کور تا مرا صدا زدی
دیدمت ولی چه دور دیدمت ولی چه دیر
این تویی در آن طرف پشت میله ها رها
این منم در این طرف پشت میله ها اسیر
دست خسته مرا مثل کودکی بگیر
با خودت مرا ببر، خسته ام از این کویر

The Festival of San Fermin, 2009

2009-07-13T17:05:15Z

The Festival of San Fermin attracts thousands of visitors to Pamplona, Spain every year. The nine-day festival includes a carnival, bullfights and of course, the famous Running of the Bulls. Deeply traditional, it has been held since 1591, and remains a popular, if dangerous and controversial event. This year, dozens of runners and revelers have been injured, and one has been killed - a 27-year-old man who was gored in the neck, heart and lungs on Friday. Animal rights groups continue to level criticism toward the event, in which dozens of bulls run through small, packed streets toward a bullring where they will be killed during later bullfights. Collected here are some of the scenes from this year's Festival of San Fermin. (32 photos total)

This photograph of the erupting Sarychev Volcano was taken June 12 by an astronaut on the International Space Station. Sarychev, on the northwestern end of Matua Island, is one of the most active volcanoes in the Kuril Island chain, northeast of Japan. The photo was taken with a Nikon D2XS digital camera fitted with a 400 mm lens. More information about the volcanic phenomena seen in this image is at the NASA Earth Observatory.

The 50mm f/1.8 – Small Wonder!

2009-07-06T21:01:16Z

In this post guest poster Prajneet Singh from BeyondMegapixels takes a look at the humble 50mm lens.

In today’s digital world, technology has made everything easier to reach, with many devices working as more than one device, and universal remotes to control them. The simple purpose – convenience. And that is what happened with the advent of zoom lenses. In today’s date, with high zoom compacts flooding the market, and manufacturers making lenses that zoom in far enough to bring a bird sitting 50 feet away seem as if it is sitting in front of your lens, a lot of us are so used to zoom lenses that we simply cannot imagine having a lens without a zoom, however much it may be.

Discovery Lighthouse by wildpianist

But, it is for a fact that the best optical quality is delivered by prime lenses (fixed focal length, no zoom lenses). Why? In simple words, because they use a smaller number of glass elements inside the lens, which means lesser loss of quality, and hence better pictures.

Anyways, this post is not to highlight the advantages of primes over zooms, but to highlight one particular prime lens that I feel is a must use for everyone with an SLR, at least for some time. I am talking about the 50mm prime lens – or the nifty fifty as it is rightly called. At this focal length, these lenses show the same view that you see through your eyes, and so are also referred to as normal lenses.

‘Phidippus princeps’ by Opo Terser

The 50mm f/1.8 is the least expensive lens at this focal range. And this, dear readers, is a marvel. I’ll keep it very simple… why the 50mm is a must:

At under $100 starting, it is very very cheap, and an easy buy for the hobbyist with a budget.
Don’t let the price fool you. The optical quality of even the cheapest 50mm is amazing to say the least, owing to its rather simple design. Much better than many expensive zooms even, this lens is loved mostly for its sharpness and bokeh.
The nifty fifty is light, small and so very convenient to carry around, whether in your bag, or on your camera.
Primes in general, and the 50mm especially, are fast lenses i.e. they have bigger apertures that allow you to shoot at high shutter speeds even in low light – one major aspect where most zooms lack. The fastest telephoto I’ve heard of has a max aperture of f/2.8, and the fastest prime I’ve heard of is a 50mm f/0.95!
Perhaps the most important attribute of all primes, after their optics, is the learning they offer. With a fixed frame of view, the only zoom you have at your disposal is your feet. With this ‘restriction’ one ends up being very careful, and also very creative, with their compositions, and also more involved in the whole photographic process. With time you’ll find that even with zooms, you’ll end up getting more ‘keepers’ because of this. In essence, primes are great exercise for your composition muscles.

‘Be Happy...!’ by carf

Last but not the least, we bust the myth that the 50 mil is used only for portraits and street photography. Mentioned below are some points that show just how versatile this little wonder is:

Shooting in low light: As mentioned above, the wide aperture lets in more light, allowing you to shoot without flash in low light. This lens is great for shooting indoors where a flash sort of ruins the feel. Of course the wide aperture also means that you’ll have a very shallow depth of field, and hence you need to compose your shot such that you get the subject completely in focus.
The Reversed Macro: Not all of us can afford a dedicated macro lens. And the good news is that you can use this 50mm as a macro lens by reversing it. You’ll need a reversal ring for that. You lose autofocus, but that’s not all that bad when you’re getting a macro lens at this price. For more on reversing the 50mm for macro, check out this post on DPS.
The Wide effect: If you don’t have a dedicated wide angle lens, don’t fret. You might not get as wide an angle as with a dedicated lens, but you can still get a wide angle look by moving farther from your subject, and using a smaller aperture (larger f number). This covers a wider area and gives a larger zone of sharpness, just like a wide angle lens.
The Telephoto effect: Just like above, you can also simulate a telephoto effect by getting close to your subject and opening up the aperture. This gives a nicely blurred background which is a characteristic of telephotos.
Candid Camera: The fact that this lens offers a field of view just like that of the human eye* i.e. you get what you see, plus the lens’s small size make it a great lens for getting candid shots without getting noticed. In fact, since it sees what you see, you can even shoot without using the viewfinder. Simply point your camera in the direction you’re looking, and click!
DOF: The large aperture offers extremely shallow depth of field which is another creativity stimulator. One can get some very nice looking photos with imaginative use of the shallow DOF.
Portraits and Streets: This lens is by far most used for portraiture and street photography and gives some great results in both fields.

‘Today’ by Solcis

*The 50mm replicates the human eye field of view on 35mm film cameras or full frame dSLRs like the Canon 5D and Nikon D3. To get the same field of view on an APS-C camera like the Rebel XSi (450D) or Nikon D90, you’ll need to get a 35mm lens. But even then, the field of view of 50mm lenses on cropped sensors is very good to work with.

I’ve heard some people say that primes are made of cheap glass and are used only to take fancy pictures where half the objects in the frame are blurred. That is clearly the result of ignorance and lack of (correct) information. Agreed the 50 mm is affordable, but primes going up to 500 or even 600mm can be the most expensive lenses in your kit, if you can afford them!

Back in the old days, 50mm used to be the norm in lenses. Today, the zooms have gained mass popularity, and rightly too for the convenience offered. But even then, the 50mm remains a brilliant piece of optical engineering, and I recommend that you try it, especially if you’re a hobbyist or serious amateurs. It won’t cost you that much, and I guarantee that you’ll love it!

عید بر آن کسی مبارک باد
که دل خلق ازو بیاساید
آنکه در راه شادمانی خویش
بر غم دیگران نیفزاید
دامن حرمت کسان ندرد
دامن خود به بد نیالاید
آنکه بر روی مردمان فقیر
به حقارت نظر نفرماید
هر کسی خیر خلق میخواهد
گر کند افتخار می شاید
نیکبختی بود سزای کسی
که به جز کار نیک ننماید
با همه یار و با همه غمخوار
مرد را سیرتی چنین باید
خدمت خلق کن که روز حساب
به جز این در رقم نمی آید
کسی به سر منزل مراد رسد
که سعادت ز نیکوئی زاید
هر کسی خیر خواه مردم شد
مردم او را به خیر بستاید
شاد باشد روان آنکه مدام
گره از کار خلق بگشاید

با آرزوی سالی پربار و سرشار از شادی
