EasyJet A319 G-EZAL


EasyJet A319 G-EZAL, originally uploaded by xiongyu1988.

I do love this photo which I was taken at the Liverpool International Airport. Although Liverpool's airport is not so big as Manchester's airport, small jets like A319, B738 are also very nice to be captured. The color for this photo is fabulous. At the dusk, a fight of EasyJet which nobody knew where it came from have just arrived at the Liverpool Airport.

I am interesting in airplane, especially in aviation field. Honestly, I was afraid to go somewhere by air when I was a child but for now I do love flying with jets. In addition, I have thought about that I want to change my subject from Mechanical Engineering to Aerospace Engineering. That is what I am going to do.

Hope you like this photo. My pleasure.

Mirror & Silence


Mirror & Silence, originally uploaded by xiongyu1988.

This picture is my best shot so far. I has taken probably one or two months ago. One day, I went to a place which is called Crosby Beach near the town of Liverpool with my friends that were Jie Fang and Wentao Song. Actually, we had planed this small trip for a long time but someone always have no time. We all have many works, projects, endless meetings and even management meetings. Finally, we have got a time and got together to the Crosby Beach. In the Flickr, many people uploaded their amazing captures from here and before I went to there. I had prepared to have a look some of their works and extracted amount of key points to help me shot a nice picture. I brought my typical photograph equipments which are Nikon D300 and 18-200mm VR ii. A train from central line took our three to the destination for a while. In that sunny day afternoon, we were so happy to capture many picture for recording that nice day. It was a time which we were going back that Jie Fang had told us he could take many fabulous picture in his position and then we followed him and tripod got ready with camera. Just a moment, I could not remember how many picture we left them for this beautiful landscape. I thought that the rest of pictures all was shot here until the camera have reached the maximum. A shallow sea was just in front of us and reflected the scenery of dusk sky, specially at the far away edge between the sky with sea there had very good color and tone. That was my best scenery I want to record. Later, I have found this picture in the hundreds photos under the Mac system and used Aperature software to improve a little bit and eventually I have owned this beautiful photo which I gave Mirror & Silence as its name. I set it as my background and uploaded it into my Flickr account and many people have left their greetings. Now, I usually open my Flickr to see this photo and have a aftertaste.
