Pentax 645D: Not Your Average Toy For The Big Boys


Pentax 645D, not your average toy for the big boys.
Pentax 645D key features:
  •  On top of the list is its resolution, 40-megapixels using a Kodak-made sensor.
  •   Its base ISO is 200 with 1000 being the top speed. This range can be extended to give    the equivalent ISO speeds of 100 and 1600. 
  •   The 645D is the first medium-format DSLR to have a dust removal system. The system vibrates the UV/IR-cut filters in front of the sensor at supersonic speeds to shake loose any dust. 
  •   Despite the large sensor and solid build, the 645D is a portable and quick to use camera.
  •    It is also weather-proofed to enhance its appeal to outdoor and location photographers. Existing Pentax 645 owners will be delighted to learn that the 645D is compatible with their lenses.
  •   The ergonomically molded hand grip is excellent with the result that the camera feels great in the hands, and very well balanced too – at least with the new D FA 55mm f/2.8 AL (IF) SDM AW lens.
  •   Switching from landscape to portrait-format shooting is no problem at all
  •   Key controls like the shutter button fall naturally to finger.
  •   Despite the large reflex mirror flapping up and down, the noise and vibration levels are impressively low. 
  •   Design is very clear and the monitor is good.
  •   Buttons are well spaced for easy handling. 
  •   Exposure mode dial has a lock function. 
  •   All the controls fall nicely to finger.
  •   Big reflex mirror that is light on its feet. 
  •   Comes with a 55mm f/2.8 standard lens. 
  •   Pentax claim 13 Raws at the continuous shooting speed of 1.1 frames-per-second until the buffer is full. 
  •  Portable
  •  Quick autofocusing
  •  Quiet, low vibration shutter action
  •  Bright viewfinder image
 Even before digital cameras came in, 35mm was already considered small compared to 120mm, or more popularly known as medium format, which was the tool of choice by most professional photographers. Medium format cameras gave better picture quality which suited industry standards, specifically requirements on large format printing and advertising.

Today, digital photography broke new grounds for consumers, who gained easy access to digital single lens reflex (DSLR) cameras. This access to technology led to the growth of people’s interest in photography, which cultivated a trend where anyone can be a “photographer.”   
And as digital photography got more advanced, more and more enthusiasts and professional photographers alike aspired to get the latest and more powerful tools. A full frame DLSR is the most sought-after camera for many photographers, but a medium format DLSR such as Pentax 645D will definitely change the way how to look at a more professionally made photograph than the others.

Just recently, Super East Asia Enterprise, Inc., the sole distributor of Pentax cameras here in the Philippines, held the “Pentax 645D Touch, Try, Experience” event at the DPI XL Studios in Makati City. With Creative Directors and Professional Photographers in attendance, they all wanted to try out and experience the Pentax 645D’s superior performance with regard to image quality.

Boasting an effective 40-megapixel medium format (44x33mm) CCD sensor that provides top resolution of 7264x5440 pixels, the Pentax 645D is suitable for ultra-high resolution imaging, perfect for large format printing applications and has an outstanding cropping flexibility.

The Pentax 645D is also weather proof as its design resists rain, snow, dust and other environmental hazards during on-location shoots and still maintains peak camera performance. Its magnesium alloy body around its rigid aluminum die-cast chassis gives it durability and thermal stability yet lightweight at the same time.

There will also be no problems with lens compatibility as the Pentax 645D can use D FA autofocus lenses and older 645 lenses, which gives it a wide range of photographic applications. Its 3-inch LCD screen is equipped with anti-reflective coating and reinforced glass surface, and also features 921,000 dots of resolution which enables it to provide a 32x image review magnification for better on-camera proofing. And its high capacity Li-Ion battery can take up to 800 shots in normal shooting conditions.

Though a single unit of Pentax 645D may cost photographers around P600,000, it is still competitively priced if ranged against a camera of the same capability yet costs a million pesos or more. And even if the Pentax 645D is not your ordinary “toy for the big boys,” it is still a must-have tool for men (or women) of profession.

Overall, the Pentax 645D is definitely a good investment for most professional photographers, especially for those who specialize in weddings, portraits or products as it can set their services apart from other photographers. A Pentax 645D in hand will definitely take your photography expertise to the next level.

BEIJING: Red Lantern House


Way back in 2010, I went to China alone. I met two co-passengers at the airport who recommended The Red Lantern House in Beijing. The Red Lantern is a very nice place to stay in Beijing, China. This is not a paid post. I just like to share my experience to those people who are looking for a place to stay in China and doesn't know where to stay. This is based on my personal experience and I do not represent the hostel.

Red Lantern House in Beijing has a great location and I considered it as a great hostel to stay. It has a very clean rooms, with comfortable beds and wifi. I love the peace and quiet atmosphere of the place. You could relax at the sofas located near the reception. I stayed there for 5 days and 4 nights which comes with a free breakfast. 

At Red Lantern House you get the unique chance to get close to old living styles in Beijing because it is near the  Hutongs (typical little street of Beijing).  It is approximately 10 minutes to the subway. Subway makes it super easy and cheap to get around Beijing. It is in the middle of restaurants. I enjoyed eating shabu shabu for 14 yuan in Beijing. I went there in November of 2010, it was nearing winter, so a cup of soup feels like heaven to me.

The staff was fantastic and very helpful with everything. One particular staff I met is quite good in English.  She even lent her map to Temple of Heaven to me and even carried my suitcase and held a taxi for me on my way to the airport. Before I forget, please note that I availed of the one day tour to the Mutianyu section of the Great Wall of China at Red Lantern House, I recommend this to everyone.

With super clean rooms, free breakfast and very friendly staff. I'll rate them 4 stars! Excellent Hostel! I would definitely stay at Red Lantern again.

FREE TAIWAN MOVIES: Shangri-La Plaza


What:FREE TAIWAN MOVIES
Where: Shangri-La Plaza 
When: August 2 to 6, 2012
 

The Taipei Economic and Cultural Office brings a small program of Taiwanese films to the Shang Cineplex. Running from August 2 to 6, 2012, the third Taiwan Film Festival pays tribute to one of Taiwan’s greatest directors, as well offers a selection of contemporary documentaries that chronicle the life of modern Taiwan. Admission is free. 

Here’s what they’ve got to offer:

A Time to Live, A Time to Die

Half of the festival’s program is given over to films by director Hou Hsiao-Hsien. Hou is easily one of Taiwan’s most accomplished directors. His career spans decades, and he had won dozens of awards from all over the world. And yet his work tends to go largely unseen outside of the festival circuit. These films serves as a fine introduction to the director’s work. 


A Time to Live, A Time to Die (Tong Nian Wang Shi, 1985). This film tells the story of a young boy whose family moves from Mainland China to Taiwan in 1947. Based loosely on Hou’s own experiences as a young man, this coming-of-age film explores the rift that occurs between the boy and his family as he loses touch with his cultural heritage. The film can be challenging, requiring patience from the viewer as it meanders through the mundane lives of its characters. But there are moments of such immense beauty and sadness in it that one can’t help but be moved.
The Boys from Fangkuei

The Boys from Fangkuei (Fēngguì lái de rén, 1983) comes a little bit before Hou found his directorial voice, but one can already see the filmmaker putting together the pieces of what would become his style. This is also a coming-of-age picture, following a group of delinquents from a small seaside town. They spend their time shooting pool, getting drunk and picking up girls, before moving to the city Kaohsiung to look for work. And there they discover that they don’t know as much about the world as they thought. The Boys from Fangkuei isn’t as polished as the rest of Hou’s films, but it can be surprisingly moving. It can be surprisingly tender, the story tinged with nostalgia and a quiet sense of humor.

Dust in the Wind

Dust in the Wind (Liàn liàn fēng chén, 1986) touches on the same themes as The Boys of Fengkuei, the film also depicting the plight of small town Taiwanese kids who arrive at the big city. This one follows a teenage couple as they move from their small village and try to make in Taipei. They are in love, but their love struggles to survive their economic and political reality. But where The Boys from Fangkuei feels a bit like a cautionary tale, this film plays out as a real tragedy, finding real anguish in the character’s simple acceptance that life continues to go on.

Three Times


The festival is also screening Three Times (Zuì hǎo de shí guāng, 2005), which was shown in last year’s program. If you missed it last year, you really ought to see it now. It’s a remarkable film that tells stories of romance set against conflict, with the same two actors portraying the lovers in each story. Not every segment works, but the film is able to build to a depth of emotion that can be quite moving.

Grandma’s Hairpin

The other half of the program is composed of documentaries. Of the four, Grandma’s Hairpin (Hsiao Chu-Chen, 2000, Yin Zan Zi) might be the one most worth seeing. The director tells the story of her father, who was one of the soldiers that had retreated to Taiwan back in 1949 following a defeat at the hands of the communists in 1949. Back then, the soldiers believed that they would soon be able to return to China, but that actually didn’t happen until 1987. Some of the soldiers attempt to rebuild a life in a China that no longer feels like home. It’s incredibly powerful stuff, the film digging into the very idea of Taiwan as a nation by examining the lives of the people who had fought for it.

The Man Who Plants Trees

The Man Who Plants Trees (Zhong Shu De Nan Ren, 2008, Lin Yu-Hsien) tells the remarkable tale of Lu Ming-Shih, a man who sets out to plant trees all along the Tropic of Cancer. The documentary follows him as he attempts to plant trees on the Chianan plain, finding resistance along the way. This is the story of a dreamer, a man so in love with nature that he dedicates his life to it.

Classmates

Classmates (2009, Cheng Yao-Ting) follows four young people who were graduates of a special inclusive school program, which integrated special needs students with regular students. The film looks into their lives as they approach the responsibilities of adulthood, while also documenting the development and the current state of the inclusive program that would become so important in their lives.

Stars

And finally, Stars (Xing Guang Chuan Qi, 2008, Hsu Ming-Chun) is a documentary on Taiwanese reality singing competition Million Star. The film follows a few of the contestants from the second season of the show, looking in their lives and following them as they climb the ladder of stardom. The film presents the show as a magical place where dreams come true, which is a little suspect. Still, the contestants are real people, and seeing them live out their pop star fantasies can be somewhat compelling.

NEW CARJACK AND HOLD UP MODUS OPERANDI REVEALED


NEW CARJACK AND HOLD UP MODUS OPERANDI REVEALED!

Candy Mejia-Subida's Account

A word of caution! An incident happened to me yesterday in between Megamall and St. Francis square while I was double parked infront of mercury.... I was sitting in the drivers side while royet quickly ran to mercury. while i was putting on lipstick and using the rear view mirror I saw a man crossing from megamal to st francis area. We actually made eye contact and he even put a smirk, from then on i had my eye on him (had a bad feeling about him from the very start) so i continued putting lipstick but my eyes were now at the passengers sidemirror...

True enough he circled the car and went back to the pedestrian and i saw him signal a group across where he eventually joined a two women with two "umbrellas" and one guy. my heart was beating so fast already (because this is what i read in the "Rachel Samson Torres incident" post). What was freaky was i could predict every move of theirs because i read that post. The two women and one guy positioned themselves apart from one another one at the back of my car, the other with still an open umbrella right smack infront of my passengers side and the other infront of the car but all on the sidewalk of st. francis side. I knew something was up because when they were crossing they were talking and when they crossed they split up and as if they didnt know each other. I moved my car a few meters and he said hindi ho hindi ho (as if saying im not telling you to move) in the meantime i got my fone put it in camera mode and true enough the guy goes up to my side and is pointing to my rear tire...

My goodness i couldnt believe that was the very exact thing that happened to mommy Rachel Samson Torres. So when he started babbling I put up my phone and took his photo, he immediately covered his face and said no no no and he walked away towards the st. francis guard. I wanted him to know that I knew something was up thats the reason i took his photo so he would go away from me.. (Note: He even tapped the rear of the car and spoke to the guard). At this point i had rang royet to come out. I saw the girls and guy cross back to megamall side so i opened my window and started calling the megamall guard and i kept saying guard yun naka orange and red and white stripes... They were walking ever so calmy but moved significantly faster coz they could hear me screaming by then.

Royet gets into the car and we drove to find the 2 girls and guy but they had entered megamall already. We turned the car back and looked for the gurd of st. francis who he spoke to and we asked what the guy had said... According to the guard the man asked if "we" could park in a slot. (Note: Imagine.. the guard actually thought all the while he was with us coz the man "tapped" the car before he approached the guard (Apparently a contingency move if they are almost busted). I feel so fortunate that mommy rachel made a very detailed report on the new modus operandi if not for her chances are the girl nearest to me would have opened the passenger door if i opened my lock to check on what the guy was fictitiously pointing at. (note in the picture that all this was happening with the megamall guard a few meters away behind him. in my case Awareness played a key role therefore it is my duty to make others aware through sharing my experience so we can minimize being victimized. P.S. feel free to re-post this and his picture... he probably thinks i got a clear shot of him and his cohorts, which is what i would want him to think. Friends, let us be extra vigilant!


Rachel Samson Torres:

Last Friday, July 7, at around 12:20-12:40pm, As I was picking up mu Grade 5 daughter in Poveda. I had a near hold-up / carnap / carjack experience.

I dropped my yaya on Guadix dr. cor. poveda st., then I parked my car on ADB Ave., very near Guadix dr., by the sidewalk of ADB and waited inside the car. While waiting, I was busy texting. After about 5-10 minutes, I heard some sound like someone was touching the left rear side of my car. I could see 3 women in the corner of my eye. I was about to unlock the door since I thought it was my daughter and yaya. Then a man knocked on my window saying, "May susi na naipit.", while pointing to the left rear side of my car, as he was holding a cellphone and a car key.

I couldn't understand clearly what he was saying. I was about to go down and look, then I suddenly got scared. It just dawned on me that this must be one of those 'Modus Operandi' that Ted Failon has been warning drivers. Then I realized I shouldn't have opened my window, so I closed it right away. The 3 ladies were under a white with red hearts umbrella, looking down near my left ear wheel. I couldn't see their faces because of the umbrella. I was thinking their susi might have been ran over my wheel, so I started my car and slightly moved it forward. I was waiting for them to pick up the susi, but the ladies just left and walked towards guadix dr., and the man went back to my window side and said the same thing again. I moved the car slightly forward again as I was ready to speed away, then he left going towards the ladies who walked. I watched them while they were walking. The man was talking to someone on his cellphone or maybe pretending. Then the man walked back towards ADB again. This time walking on the sidewalk of ADB. I was ready to leave if ever he comes back to me again, but he just continued walking still talking on his cellphone. Finally, my daughter and yaya arrived. I asked her if her keys are with her or maybe naipit by the door, but it was in her bag. So we left and moved towards the direction of Podium. The man was walking towards the same direction, still using his cellphone.

On hindsight, he was giving me the impression that he was a driver of one of the student's cars, that's why he was showing me his cellphone and a car key, and maybe I would feel comfortable and get out of my car and look at the rear left bottom part of my car, where the ladies were looking and to where he was pointing. Then that would be his chance to hold-up / carnap / carjack.

Unfortunately, there were no MMDA Traffic Aides / Police in the area at that time. Normally, there is one at the intersection of ADB, Guadix, Poveda and one in a motorcycle roving along ADB Ave.

I was lucky to have heard Ted Failon's warning that morning, over DZMM that the new modus operandi of these people now, is to target lady drivers, who are caught unaware, because they are busy texting, putting on make-up etc. It is no longer the 'Riding in Tandem' style. There is just one guy on a motorcycle who purposely bumps your car. You feel it's really an accident, so you go down and check, then another guy rides and speeds away with your car. So he said, if that happens, just ignore it and make sure you get out of the scene as soon as possible.

Another one is, they tie some tin cans at the rear of your car, so when you move, you will hear them sound. then you go down to check what is it and they get your car.

So please, dear parents, please lock your door always. Instruct your drivers and yayas to be extra, extra vigilant. Make your children aware of this. We are not safe in those streets. Best is to wait along Poveda Street. Who knows what could be after a holdup / carnap / carjack. God Forbid.


Sea Water Desalination Machine



The United Nations declared way back in 2010, that access to safe and clean drinking water is a human right which is essential to the full enjoyment of life and all other human rights.

In the age of Wifi connections, the Philippines, does not even target 100 percent access to safe drinking water. The commitment is merely to halve the number of those without access by 2015, aiming only for an access rate of 86.5%.
Have you ever wondered how the people in  Boracay island get their drinking water ?

The answer was by adopting the theory behind the Sea Water Desalination Machine.

Drinking seawater straight is a bad idea. You may think you have expelled the salt by urinating but you are actually losing more water than salt. Seawater contains roughly 130 grams of salt per gallon. With desalination, this technology can reduce salt levels to below 2 grams per gallon, which is the limit for safe human consumption.
  
It is a good thing that Solerex Water Technologies, a recognized leader in the Reverse Osmosis Technology in the Philippines where it has the largest base than any entity, comes up with an  Environment-friendly and Economic Approach to Desalination

It is a local firm that has been responsible for the design, full or partial fabrication, erection and/or assembly of the majority of the seawater reverse osmosis desalination plants currently installed in the country today.

With water fast becoming almost like liquid gold, especially in drought-prone regions like coastal areas with growing populations, an obvious solution is to take the salt out of seawater. After all, desalination technology has been around for thousands of years already.

Tantalizing as desalinated water sounds, the energy costs in producing fresh drinking water out of seawater have made it rather unpalatable—until now.

"Until recently, seawater desalination was a very expensive water source solution," said Jose Antonio Soler, president of Solerex Water Tecnologies, Inc.

Currently, between 10 to 13 billion gallons of water are desalinated worldwide per day. That's only about 0.2 percent of global water consumption, but the number is increasing.

Aristotle's efforts

Though Greek philosopher Aristotle envisioned the idea of removing salt from seawater through the use of “filters” arranged consecutively, he was not the first one to do it. The first duly recorded desalination practice was done by collecting freshwater steam out of boiling seawater. Sailors back in around 200 A.D. practiced desalination through the use of simple boilers in their ships. It was that simple.

However, in today’s environment, desalination on a large scale has become unbelievably expensive because of energy requirements. This meant that only countries rich in oil but lack enough water supply are those that can afford “thermal desalination.”

But advancements in technology saw researchers working on filters to take out the salt from seawater, just like how Aristotle saw it. The technology, which employs the use of “membranes,” now called “reverse osmosis,” needs a smaller amount of energy and costs around half the price of current saltwater distillation techniques used today.

Energy is the key

But even with membranes, large amounts of energy are needed to generate the high pressure that forces the water through the filter. In the 80's and 90's, the technology required about 14 kilowatt-hours of energy to produce 1,000 liters per cubic meter of desalinated seawater. However strides in energy recovery have decreased the energy requirement from 4.8-5.5 kilowatt-hours to 2.5-2.75 kilowatt-hours to produce 1,000 liters of desalinated seawater.

An island resort development, Balesin in Quezon province is currently enjoying the savings from installing the new generation Solerex Desalination Units introduced by Solerex Water Technologies whose water brand, Crystal Clear, is the leader in the home and office water delivery market. “All our Desalination Units now are equipped with PX Pressure Exchanger, an energy recovery device that basically recycles pressurized water that does not pass through the RO filters back into the high pressure loops at a 98% efficiency, reducing the amount of energy required by 60 percent,” shares Soler.

Hotels, resorts and communities that rely on producing their own water will benefit from the maximum savings and reliability as the energy recovery unit is built to last a lifetime – of no less than 25 years. “As a result the PX technology offers the best economic solution to all stakeholders,” Soler adds.

RAYCOP: The World's only UV C anti allergy vacuum cleaner


RAYCOP: The World's only UV C anti allergy vacuum cleaner. Yes, fellow with sensitive skin, folks it is now possible to have a Cleaner air through Raycop anti-allergy cleaners.

Soon you'll be saying: Goodbye asthma and dust mite allergies!

Unknown to all of you, I have a very sensitive skin. So, when I received an invitation to attend the launching of a revolutionary vacuum cleaner, I got really interested.

As I listened intently to the speakers, I realized that not only will this product solve my long time skin itch problem but will also help other people as well. Especially those parents with small children.

I learned that RAYCOP UV-C Vacuum Cleaner gets rid of dust mites and bacteria in your beds, cushions, sofas, and linens!

FAST FACTS:
• Every night you share your bed with 1.5 to 2 million dust mites.
• Their waste contains a powerful allergen that can cause itchy skin, burning eyes, coughing and sneezing.
• If you suffer from asthma or other respiratory problems these symptoms can be even worse.
• Raycop has been shown to deactivate the H1N1 Influenza A virus!

Raycop uses a unique three-stage allergy care system and a two-stage filtration process to capture and retain mites, dust, allergens, bacteria and larger pollutants to release only clean and healthy air. Raycop carries out all of these steps automatically as it sweeps across a surface.



Vibrating Pad

First, Raycop employs a patented vibrating pad to shake microscopic particles and dust mites free from mattresses, pillows and linens. The pad vibrates 3,600 times per minute extracting even the most resilient mites embedded in fabrics.

UV-C Sterilization

Next, using a UV-C sterilization lamp, bacteria and other microorganisms are killed to guarantee bedding and other surfaces germ free. Based on technology from Philips and Sankyo, this 8-Watt lamp uses a highly effective 253.7 nanometer wavelength and does not generate any ozone.

Vacuum Pollutants

In the final stage of cleaning, Raycop employs its powerful suction to capture the now dead dust mites and bacteria trapping them using a special microfiltration system. Its excellent motor power also effectively removes dust, allergens and dead skin cells.

Two-stage Filtration

A cartridge filter automatically captures larger particles and retains them so they cannot reenter the room. For small particles like microscopic dust, bacteria and dust mites, Raycop uses a HEPA microfiltration system to capture and keep hold of them too. This means the air expelled from Raycop is actually cleaner than the air you breathe!

Raycop is the first UV-C anti-allergy vacuum cleaner that kills 99% of bacteria and eliminates almost 94% of dust mites. It is specially designed to clean beds, linens and other fabrics, helping to create a healthier home. Raycop cleans deep into household fabrics and can be used to clean mattresses, sofas, chairs, futons, crib pads, bedding, pillows and curtains.

Soon, the traditional practice of Filipino families, particularly with family members who are susceptible to air-borne allergens, to take out the bedding or fabrics and place them under direct sunlight to remove allergens, bacteria and dust mites will be a thing of the past, now that the Raycop UVC Anti-Allergy Cleaner is available in the Philippines.

Studies by the Tokyo Allergy Research Center, revealed that direct exposure to sunlight even for up to 6 hours only manages to remove dust mite population by only 3.8%. While a Raycop Vacuum cleaner, kills 99% of E.Coli, Staphylococcus and Candida bacteria, and kills almost 94% of dust mites. Plus it has a replaceable Micro Allergy Filtration filter that filters more than 99.97% of dust remnants and keeps cleaning with utmost efficiency.

The Raycop UVC Anti-Allergy cleaner is the first anti-allergy vacuum cleaner with the Seal of Approval of the prestigious British Allergy Foundation, the Trophée de la Maison from the French Consumers’ Union and the LOHAS Seal of Approval from the Korea Standards Association. Sold in more than 30 countries around the world including the United States, Germany, France, the United Kingdom, Japan and South Korea, Raycop UVC Anti-Allergy cleaner is manufactured by the Health and Home Appliances Division of Bukang Sems Co., Ltd., the global and award-winning Incheon, Korea-based company whose aim is to help people live healthier and create a better home environment.
