It’s been a while since I last updated this blog. Exactly two months have passed since I wrote about me passing the JLPT N5 and not much happened. Work keeps me occupied for quite a lot and I got some problems with my ear. But I am still doing Otaku stuff such as ordering single cards for my Weiß Schwarz Fairy Tail Deck.

At the 4th of December 2011 was the 日本語能力試験 or Japanese Language Proficiency Test which I participated in too.
And after three months of waiting my score report finally arrived in my mail box. The last time I failed and I only got a small envelope. This time I got a big one and I was rather confident. But they community college where the exam took place could have sent some information material too. I was still nervous while opening.

JLPT Day

P1020819

The Japanese Language Proficiency Test, JLPT for short, took place a few days ago in Düsseldorf, Germany.
The JLPT is a test to evaluate the proficiency of the japanese language and is held twice a year. One in summer and one in winter. The participants can choose one of 5 different levels with N5 being the easiest and N1 being the most difficult one. The japanese government planned to use the JLPT certificates in regards of long and permanent resident visas in 2008 but I am not up to date if this is already in process or kicked into the trash can.

Time Lapse Köln

November 5th, 2011 09:56 in ryusworld 1 Comment By Ryudo

Last weekend, I was in Köln to take some scenes for a time lapse video.
Got inspired by mockmoon over at youtube a while ago and wanted to try it out myself ever since.

After I found out how to make those videos I played around with my camera settings and now I know how to do those videos. I like blurry movement in a time lapse so I wanted to achieve this as well. But at daytime the shutter speed was limited and I couldn’t get the results I wanted. Had to wait for a darker time of day because I am missing a grey filter for my lense. This lense darkens the light which allows the photographer to set longer shutter speed without getting a white image.

Well, but the night scenes didn’t turn out well either. The shoot of the street looks too orange and not natural. Will find out how to overcome this, too.

SCANDALs new single LOVE SURVIVE. It is the 13th single release already. No DVD version this time, though.
But in nearly 2 to 3 weeks my copy of the new album BABY ACTION will arrive. I ordered the DVD version so I am not that disappointed that I have to waive for a DVD this time.
