Nice garden place

I had an opportunity to visit "Farmer's Garden" situated at Norse-Eastern part of Mino "Saito" in Osaka. It was a well maintained garden and instruments and monuments were scattered everywhere with good sensibility, also some flowers and small trees were sold, in addition nice restaurant with crowded parking place in spite of week-day today. Wanna I show here about the place.

Inf. position corrected

Electric view finder and Live view make it possible to observe the focusing accuracy by enlarging the specific point.
Though I had been getting accustomed to Canon EOS DSLR camera with manual focusing lenses, I changed my clogged perception of focusing. I have been in the theory that any lens has it's focusing depth on the iris condition.
I was so surprised to see the focusing depth actually peeping into EVF of SONY Alfha 6400 !
Even in 28 mm wide angle lens at infinity focusing position exists only single point to be focused at the point.
The theory that there exist some broad duration at the point, the opinion I had been relying on was false.
Consequently, I have readjusted the Infinity point of Minolta MD Rokkor 28 mm F2 lens by disassembling the adjusting construction.
To tell the truth, this lens had been adjusted on infinity point when the bayonet mount had been replaced into EOS mount adaptation. The adjusting procedure lacked the indispensable precision.

ASO 92nd Regular Concert

We enjoyed marvelous time last evening, The 92nd Regular Concert was held at Nishinomiya KOBELCO Hall by Ashiya Symphony Orchestra. The program was following:
Conductor: Takuo Yuasa
Soprano: Minami Matsubara

M. Arnold/Tam O' Shanter Overture Op. 51

I. Stranvisky/Card Game
 Premiere donne
 Deuxieme donne
 Troisteme donne

G. Mauhler/Symphony No.4 G major
 Bedachtig. Nicht eilen
 In gemachlicher Bewegung. Ohne Hast
 Ruhevoll
Sehr behaglich

Mr. Yuasa performed well as usual without any failure, also the Soprano singer was a great star to be envied to the future.

Though the members are all amateur, their activity and the potential to express are almost the same as professional one.

The arts in every department are always the energy to live as a human being !

Photography exhibition

Coming across with a nice restaurant on my way home from attending a photography exhibition, I took lunch there. Also here I met some diorama and I did it with my Smart Phone.
Meeting with over 40 years lasting intimate friend in the meeting place called me back to my good days, this is why I shot some photos there. I made promise to meet with them at Kobe for next group work.
I have a few friend to love with admiration in my hobby world and their life style is very similar with mine. Automatically, we make friend each other immediately after the first encounter.
On the other hand, in my professional world it's very difficult to have an intimate friend opening our hearts, very seldom. 

Smell of Winter

Smell of Winter Season is felt in the deep inside of the mountain these days. Cold weather must be harsh for the people without warm love.
To live in peace is difficult actually and emotionally on Earth for living things including for us.

As I mentioned before an operation on front suspension in Air-cooled VW Beetle 1302 was performed the other day obtaining some great progress in it's performance. Inserting 2mm thickness rubber sheets between the crevices F/R reducing unnecessary movement in the suspension construction that is mainly antero-posteriorly discrepancy in tension rods forming stabilizer fixation points.
Also more accurate positioning of clumping brackets was effective for correcting front lower arm parallelism establishing more precise axle formation.
Front camber, total toe and caster correction, rear total toe and thrust angle adjustment were required as a matter of fact.
In addition, 11AD motor adjusting was obliged, point gap correction and spark timing leading to idle mixture readjusting.
49 years old vehicle requires periodical inspection and adjusting.

Autumn season now

I came across with a rare scenery this morning, locusts, probably a couple. At the same time felt some loneliness, their lives would not last long, because change of seasons now reduces outside temperature gradually. I hope their duty would be established well for next generation. The Gene structure of them do differ very little from us, this might be why I feel some sympathy on them with nostalgic feeling.
About an inconvenience on Air-Cooled VW Beetle 1302, it is long lasting instability on steering stabilization.
Doubting the reason in steering linkage including the construction of the gear box, conventional worm gear.
I thought that it is caused by a fundamental phenomena by them, but I just scaled wheel bases R/L yesterday finding out 5mm discrepancy, right side shorter, the result met with a slight right side running habit.
Checking the bracket supporting on frontal suspension, front stabilizer also playing a part of tension rod, no apparent problem was found, next checked I the end of stabilizer end fixation that is passing through a lower arm with rubber bush!
Finding out the criminal there, considerable antero-posterior backlashes were there!
It causes inconvenient front & rear movement accompanying with caster angle, toe angle and changing of wheel bases length.
It is quite a reasonable reason that had been causing the unstable driving feel at all.
Though I have prepared new rubber bushes a stock, I would like to try to insert a piece of rubber sheets between the gaps as a experimental trial eliminating backlash.
As for the result, next report with pics.

Digital camera as an analyzer

Recently, DSL cameras has magnifying function prior to shooting on the back LCD. It is very helpful in focusing situations especially for geriatrics with poor eyesight. Also, it taught me how I did it appropriately. I feel shame to have talked about Lens resolution, contrast and sharpness, physical property of optical system.
Now I feel that focusing cannot be too much however precisely it might be done.
In addition, DSL including DSLR cameras could be  regarded as an optical inspection equipment if the datum are checked on PC condition.
On the other hand, pixel peeping habit is not always a good manner to evaluate transparencies, because human eyes has also the capability to resolve the object. The more distance from the object, the less resolution it has.
In other words, Botanical precise drawing is not always evaluated from a distance, however precisely it might be done, it is invisible from a distance.
Energy & Power of the object are the second to none.
A picture shows the modified lens, avoiding spherical abrasion reversely mounted for close up shooting, from old silver salt period toy camera, Konica Hexanon 38mm/2.8.
Exaggerated and expensive device is not always required for closeup shooting, an alternative cost only 300 yen.
