I had an opportunity to be given so interesting 90 minutes lecture by an experienced professional cameraman who belongs to The Mainichi News Paper company, "The passion of Retro Osaka through old pictures" was the title today at Mainichi Culture Center Umeda. He publishes some booklet with the same title, but I failed to get it because of less storage. The change of the same place were fairly recorded with the passage of time. Historical background and power map were so precisely explained with good passion. Though I had a little interest in old matter, he took me to an extraordinary wonderful world at all. I'll not lose next opportunity of his lecture, sure!

It is said in Osaka that the hottest season in the Summer time are one week before and after "Tenjin Ceremony". As I make it a rule not to use my vehicle in the period of time, I stay at home as a matter of fact. Also I do not accept driving my car under air conditioned, the compressor reduces motor power and also reduces exhirelation of motor combustion. This is why the air conditioning system in Air-cooled VW Super Beetle had been thoroughly removed. Consequently, she withdraws to the deeper position while this period of time and she is maintained with periodical servicing treatment.
Heavy steering rotating torque must be invited by too much negative camber applied before, minus 30 minutes angle value. Applying a half value, minus 15 min would be the next task. Camber and Toe-in should be adjusted together at the same time also steering center position. Before that, Thrust angle should be establish as less as possible, as near as Zero angle value. As all the adjusting procedure are performed under 1G condition, so tightened condition between ground surface and tire touching surface must be opened and released in every adjusting step leading to setting and removing the scaling device. Very complicated and patience-requiring task as it is, what should be done should be done if precise wheel alignment adjusting and establishing are desired. The result would be obtained as it was done, contrally it would be the same as before if not performed.

Weather forecast for next week threatens me not a little, because a half of the week is occupied by some schedule, and Naughty Typhoon is coming across with our land. Lasting hottest days desiring rainfall invite excessive result accompanying downpour at all, no way to hope adequate humidity.
Visiting Nunobiki-Herb Garden for photo shooting was successfully performed the day before yesterday and unexpectedly good result was obtained because of good guidance by a professional retired photographer who had been a staff of The Asahi News Paper Company, his piled experience in the field must contain extraordinary datum for shooting sceneries. Otherwise, there is no way he could give us such an accurate guidance, among then the precise time schedule at that place was punctually perfect. The light source changes so quickly in the twilight time in the mountain, many a superbe pic could be obtained for the sake of his arrangement.
What I lack in photo shooting is accurate information about the intended place I have never visited, he could compensated our disadvantage so fairly as we desired, also his gentle personality is acceptable.
From the bottom of my heart, I appreciate to him for the kindness served by him.

The shooting target last twilight time was Nunobiki Herb Garden. As we stayed insistently there till 8 o'clock, we could do much but lost the opportunity to take supper together, inhibition by the Authority is the reason, all the eating and drinking guests in every restaurant were kicked outside following the chime tone, we were all shut out miserably. 4 hours shooting activity in the hottest Summer season made me exhausted thoroughly as to guide me to bed into a sleep.
In spite of my first trial as it was, I could do better than expected assisted by some good advice by the professional photographer who had been a member of The Asahi News Paper company, especially the preliminary explanation of light source over time and shooting position and angle meeting with the fulfilled requirement. Though I had some reglet to have left 2X extender behind, Tokina 60-300 zoom lens played a good part in every scenery.
"Konica Hexanon 45mm/1.6" fixed focal length lens originally equipped on old "Konica Auto 35 S16" played a better part in the darkness, a Range Finder camera produced half a century ago, it got a breath of new life on Digital Imaging surface.

On my way home from 2 day trip to Ise-Shima, I dropped in "Amano-Iwato" situated in Isobe-Cho Shima-City as 2nd visiting. Shooting target was Water Flow with dynamic movement at various shutter speeds. Tokina Zoom 60-300 was used for the first time as I tried, it was so effective to catch dynamism on small water-falls, precise resolution obtained was fantastic with correct texture reproduction.
I thought I could endure to carry around this Tokina Zoom with 750gr weight if picture quality is proved enough to be satisfied.
As my next concentration, Castle-ruins masonry is set in my mind, Tsu Castle-ruin was the also the place this time, several datum were obtained by pics records.
