“藍空掛白月 雲澌獨自寧” / 寧 Serenity / SML.20130222.7D.24506

I have always wanted to take photographs of the moon, but I think that my lenses are just not long enough. Every telephoto beyond the 400mm range are all > US$10,000+ — where do people get that kind of dough to buy those lenses? I can’t quite justify that yet. I wish that Hong Kong has a place for lens rentals. There must be something like this here. Or maybe in mainland China?

 

# SML Translate: 藍空掛白月 雲澌獨自寧

+ 藍: Blue.

+ 空: Air, sky.

+ 掛: Hang, hook. Metaphor for the moon floating in air.

+ 白: White.

+ 月: Moon.

+ 雲: Clouds.

+ 澌: Disappeared.

+ 獨: alone.

+ 自: by oneself.

+ 寧: Serenity.

+ 藍空掛白月 雲澌獨自寧: The moon floats by itself in a clear blue sky without clouds and finds serenity on its own. (It contains an autobiographical suggestion where I generally prefer not interfacing with humans and that I find comfort being on my own)
