【賞花】Les fleurs en rose

Date: 24/01/2010
Location: KFBG 上山區(胡亭 - 嘉道理兄弟紀念亭)
Weather: 大霧

今年總算是趕得及到來朝聖,一償未圓心願。
原來櫻花已經綻放了兩個星期,還好尚未露凋零之態。
尤其是最大的那棵,花蕾密密麻麻的,仰望顯得格外神氣,嬌艷。



第一次在戶外使用Macro 100mm/2.8,尚未充分掌握鏡頭特性,大光圈尤其難以駕馭吧!焦點該落在花瓣、露水還是花藥之上?還是有點猶豫。



拍攝鐘花櫻桃的另一個挑戰,就是它那向下的花冠,及染上了粉紅色彩的花藥。使櫻花原本繽紛的色彩變了不同彩度的粉紅色。加上閃光燈補光又顯得生硬不自然。






這兩張是好心的大叔叫我以這兩朵櫻花作主題,觀察光線方向、光圈、曝光補償等不同配搭作出什麼效果。

”直到拍得好為止。這樣才可提升構圖技巧。”
對,這以後就是我的座右銘了。

【日落】海濱

Date: 28/11/2009
Location: West Kowloon
Wind: E-SE (15km/h)
Visibility: 10km



A quick visit to west kowloon for sun set. Indeed it still took about an hour to reach there. KCR + MTR + 203E.



The cloud today is quite high and thus a very beautiful magic moment. Pity there's not much front object suitable for composition. Next time have to practice more about composition for sun set fotos.





Another point to note. Wrongly use of HDR today, should apply to achieve the purpose: 1) more colorful 2) more details in light n dark region 3) lower contrast (light dark, color etc.)

Practice make perfect, still not very familiar with adjustment of PS, always cant grasp the behind meaning of tools. Learn n think n apply.

So...when feeling pain, let the wind flow, cloud brush and light shine on myself, wish everything will be fine. This is the last thing that I could throw myself in and focus on truely. I have to learn and pass thro'.

【日落】曖昧的顏色

Date: 31-10-2009
Location: Lau Fu Shan
Wind: E-NE(b4 4pm), W-NW(after 4pm)
Visibility: 4800km (ai)


中午見有高雲,能見度頗佳(>10km),即慶計劃到流浮山拍攝日落。

當西鐵穿出隧道,見陽光異常暗淡,已心知不妙。四時多已差不多完全不見光,倒楣。
難得出來了,就當享受一下日落微風...拍照?唯有留待下次。唉。


250mm, f/7.1, 1/2000, , ISO 125, EV-1.7

等到太陽完全下山,高雲真的染紅了!假如沒有轉吹西風,一定是大景。唉唉唉。


17mm, f/13, 0.8s, ISO 100, EV 0
(黑卡使用,因此用細光圈)


31mm, f/8, 8s, EV -0.7, ISO 100
(下次可試10s以上,營造如霧美感)

大概是太陽伯伯搞錯了顏料,把天空錯染了曖昧的顏色。


79mm, f/5.6, 6s, ISO 200, EV +0.3
(焦距過長,可再縮短快門時間)


74mm, f/8, 15s, ISO 320. EV 0.0
(稍暗)

流浮山這地方,潮退時素材較多,可拍特寫鏡頭;潮漲則有美麗燈光/天空倒影。
天空顏色嚴重影響氣氛,下次想試試紫色的天空。不過好像比較適合夏天。

*雖說晚霞美景全靠大氣狀況造就,但天氣唔好就完全冇心機影...些少構圖也沒有。真要改了。
快門光圈焦距的掌握也不夠好,黑卡水平下降。太少出動喇...
