To whom Oil belongs?

The price of oil gains higher and higher, day by day. Additional production was rejected at their meeting. The reason is that the global consumption of oil is imminent due to the abolition of Gasoline vehicles and new introduction of Electric powers. It is some very natural reaction seen every market.

The source of crude oil is corpse of dinosaurs, which happened tens of thousands years ago. Then who on Earth can declare the ownership of the natural resource formed ancient time? Are there natural resource for nomads who have lived on it without any direct relationship?

Of course we can pay the mining fee, but they claim ownership and feel uncomfortable trying to sell at high price and make unreasonable profit. Ancient rotten dinosaurs body belongs to you, Nomads?

Anyone stop me from falling off the chair basting into laughter?

The natural resources created by the long term changes on a global scale are available to the all the people living in the present age. It is the public resource to be shared equally. It is not something that people who don't have the ability to utilize can sell at meaninglessly high price only for selfish profit. 

How many generations can non-settlement Nomads go back to claim ownership of the Natural Resource, Oil?

Velbon Quick Release Adapter adjustment

Even a trifle inconvenience while use can be a cause of failure if piled and appeared together. Piling at subthreshold revel is the most troublesome at all because it is done unconsciously in the daily life. So, I make it a rule to eliminate it as much as I can whenever I find it out, however trifle thing it may be. Inconvenience must be changed into convenience in every scenery.

Probably, due to cost cutting idea, the necessary groove process is eliminated on the thumb screw flipping handle. Just inconvenient without claw fook while actual use! Relatively easy disassembling procedure makes the fook handle easy to be picked out as a piece. The same procedure was performed on the same residual 5 ones. Especially in the darkness like Sunset shooting, so to speak severe condition, it is useful unconsciously.

Before reconstruction of Quick Release base, unnecessary convex lot No. mark should be removed to establish smooth surface. Otherwise engineering plastic washer stuck and pushing spring will scratch the metallic base. It's looks so trifle measure but is indispensable one. Also the spring rate adjustment and touching angle are the matters that need precise adjustment to establish the decided uniform characteristics. This kind of adjustment requires skill. Famous but expensive device are all applied th

To tell the truth, old tripod that had been so popular among professional photographers was so obtained from Yahoo Auction at 300 yen, as not to learn bad habit. In addition, as my policy, never have the same item, I betrayed myself, SLIK Master EV3 had been at hand since half a century. But, the same one but different green colored have arrived!

SLIK Master EV-3

Some of the articles I did were lost by trifle mistake by myself before long. It might be possible to find it out if I try to go back in history, very troublesome at all. Early bird this morning did not wake up enough. However I might try not to mistake, an accidental affair happens.

Beautiful green colored SLIK Master EV-3 was obtained from Yahoo Auction at 300 yen the other day and the arrived item was awfully fine like new as I imagined in the pic information, no-dirty neck band in red color showed everything.

Feeling some astringency in every moving parts because it had not been used and also required maintenance including applying rublicant. Though I have the same one from my younghood, both of Master EV-3 models would go with me.

Remembering my past experience of outdoor shooting, Master EV-3 has the most willing opportunity to walking around in the mountain. Stoutness, tightness, reliability and handling feeling are acceptable for me. Only one tripod is available, so I was sentenced, I will take SLIK Master EV-3 without hesitation.

Linhof Profi & Velbon Quick Release Adapter

 Linhof Profi Jr Tripod was obtained over 50 years ago and it was not used so often because of the construction on the adjustable center pole construction. Fixed vertically tight and elevator adjustment were fond of by myself, I was disciplined by those ideas. The ideas controlled me unconsciously to select the suitable tripod. But, the revolutional mechanical device came to me recently by chance.

Quick Release System by Velbon Co. brought me several changes of fundamental and basic idea. Eliminating bothering of complicated tightening and losing mounting screw and the critical risk to fall down the main equipment while operation is desirable.

Linhof Profi tiltable center pole mechanism and Quick Release system, both of them contribute to eliminate the troublesomes in the actual operation leading to safety and relieve. Collet type engineering plastic ball with 3 slits provides enough working angle movement and the single tightening thumb screw fixes the movement in 3 dimensions at the same time. Also, this screw knob adjusts precisely the rate of slipping resistor of the ball movement. In addition, center pole plays a part of Panning long handle while adjusting including hight movement together. Consequently, this thumb screw knob fixes all the adjusting element with single action.

It goes without writing here for the enthusiasts that the Center of Gravity should be supported Physically for smooth adjusting, the pic shows Slik Supporting Plate is invited for the purpose. Tokina 400mm old lens is active even now.

Good performance, Fujinon-Z 43~75mm/f3.5~4.5!

As mentioned before, Fujinon-Z 43~75mm/f3.5~4.5 plays very well in the actual scenery, sharpness, resolution, distortion and color are excellent, it small figure looks so cute and lovely at all. If forced to any claim on this lens, the lack of Pseudo Macro mechanism is counted, but this kind of optical necessity is well compensated by preparing a set of 43mm Praktica extension rings.

Zooming from 43mm to 75mm and 3 types of Extension rings would supply me over 1X magnification. Probably, smaller tripod would be helpful under the use of Telephoto and Macro camera shakable condition.

Remember that the forming mechanical construction of Macro function invite additional backlashes physically, it is not always the function to be desired all the time but only some specific situation.

So, I wanna take the theory of additional extension tubes for Macro shooting rather than a trendy complex structure. Lighter and smaller character of Fujinon-Z makes me bring it around for all the shooting outdoor situations.

Pics appears in future for the time being would be taken by this lens.

Velbon Quick Release system

I have the bitter experience to have fall down on the wooden ground my Digital Camera twice. It is my mistake at all, but because of very trifle reason, just camera strap caught with something. Strap that prevents falling down made me fall it down indirectly.On the other hand, I have no experience of the accidental scenery because the strap had not been equipped with camera body for my half a century period of time. Then some prevailing common sense is not always possible on me that the strap is indispensable for ordinary active use.

So I made it a rule to carry my camera in shoulder box without connecting any strap including one tightening on tripod screw hole.Probably some tension in danger without safety strap must prevents accident, no falling down scenery was experienced since that.As an inevitable disadvantage without a strap, one hand is always occupied by the equipment, the possibility to get injured hard when slip and fall in the mountain. It is a huge problem standing in front of myself, it has been in my heart always like a small fish bone hanging on throat.

Two types of Velbon Magnesium One Touch Lock & Release system were invited the other day, Panhead PHD-52QN and PHD-62Q with QB-62 type square shape connecting construction. Their physical performance satisfied my requirement for Full flame Digital Camera use.And I knew the One Touch L&R plate device is available, it will make ordinary conventional panheads can have the potential as R&R head.

More over, setting it on the hip belt makes it possible to carry camera with lens in hands free condition. The camera bottom Adapter is acceptable also on the tripod panhead.Consequently, the measures I did on Digital Camera will solve critically long lasted problems thoroughly. The result would be reported soon.  

Japanese youth language

Japanese youth language is a form of linguistic expression that changes daily and fluid and fast-deforming.As the deeper investigation in this field makes this article moist and uninteresting, I want to keep the description superficial.

It is true that some of youth language have settled as general word, "Saboru" and "Guchiru"  are the representatives. But, most of them are destined to be disappeared as dead words in our daily life.Consequently, the researchers and investigators in this field should keep an eye continuously. Seeking and watching with curiocity are indispensable requirement at all.

Not only discussing about the youth language as time changes, but finding out of characteristic elements should be evaluated.They have some tendency to invite old word, to extend the use of affixes, to create a new verb by uninflected word plus "ru" and to do some  specific utilization change style.Young people are keeping ordinary way of expression but on the other hand, different ways of appealing their own world are developed one after another.

Dazzyingness of change in cheerfulness, they are why the researching in this field is worthy doing.I hope the later investigations would be continued inviting another standing points of view such as Sociology and Psychology.
