被遺棄的LRC後製手法

或許是現在對拍照的理解不同了,也可能是對人事物的解讀有所改變,當初很多喜歡並且沾沾自喜的後製手法現在看來卻有些彆扭,舊照片看來張牙舞爪,現在的我已經無法消化。我仔細回想,找出原因,整理在文章內文與你分享。

富士軟片模擬 FUJIFilm Simulation:BRIGHT NOSTALGIC

幾年前購入富士系統相機,品牌內建的軟片模擬(Film Simulation Recipe)快速便捷的設計就好像在拍照時直接套用事先設定好的濾鏡,以JPEG輸出,可以直接應用分享。試了幾回,都有滿意的成果。如果你喜歡我分享的設定與呈現的影像效果,請將這組設定存進你的富士相機裡,盡情享受快門的樂趣吧。

#7PhotoCollection來到2024下半年,這個攝影企劃已經實行了一年時間,第一個念頭是「時間過得也太快了吧」。最大的、可立見的優點是,隨著時間累進,同時累積了許多影像作品。我認為,如果刻意而行,或許還不能捕捉到這些照片,而是多走路、慢慢拍才可成的。

As #7PhotoCollection enters the second half of 2024, this photography project has been running for a full year. My first thought is, "Time flies!" The most noticeable benefit has been the gradual accumulation of a rich collection of images over time. I believe these photos couldn’t have been captured deliberately—they came from walking more and shooting slowly, letting moments unfold naturally.

人文街拍的進階拍法

嘗試街頭人物拍攝與街頭攝影多年,已經有能力從中摸索出一個大約的拍攝輪廓。儘管如此,常常還是在拍完照後有一種“啊,如果當初可以xxxxx的話,照片就可以更完美了呀~“的遺憾。因此,我在街頭往往為了等一輛腳踏車經過、等車輛離開、等人潮退去而等上好幾分鐘,有時甚至久到放棄然後帶著怨念而離去。

BEst 30 of #7PhotoCollection 2024 Part Ⅰ

在2023經過了差不多六個月的連續拍攝後,逐漸對這種觀察生活、隨手拍攝的模式有更深刻的體悟。相比急速快成,它教會我花時間在喜歡的事物上,慢慢累積的過程是甘甜且令人滿足的。

After nearly six months of continuous shooting in 2023, I’ve developed a deeper appreciation for this approach to observing life and capturing moments spontaneously. Unlike rushing to produce quick results, it has taught me the joy and fulfillment of spending time on what I love and slowly building something meaningful.

Green, from fear to love

我在維基百科查詢綠色,基本資訊如下:光的三原色之一,可經由藍色和黃色混和而成。和綠色相對的顏色是 Magenta,而非傳統認為的紅色。綠色是一種中性色,既是暖色也是冷色。短短幾行字,說出攝影與後製上的完全要點。同時,也是我早期害怕綠色的原因。是的,還在幾年前,我是非常害怕綠色的。

I looked up "green" on Wikipedia, and here are the basics: it's one of the three primary colors of light, formed by mixing blue and yellow. Its complementary color is magenta, not the traditional red. Green is a neutral color, both warm and cool. In just a few lines, it encapsulates the essence of photography and post-processing. It also reflects why I used to fear green so much. Yes, just a few years ago, I was genuinely afraid of green.

The driving force behind becoming a photographer

收電子信回覆提問,如何驅動自己成為一位攝影師?開始拍照時,壓根沒想過要成為攝影師,只覺好玩,為主婦整日家務操勞提神起勁,不為其他。現在介紹工作抬頭,大多稱自己為拍照的人。因此行為帶來微薄收入,便要稱師,有些難為情。不過萬事皆有開頭,那我從頭說。

Receiving email replies asking about how I drive myself to become a photographer? I never even thought about becoming a photographer when I started taking photos; it was just for fun, a way to perk up from the daily grind of being a housewife, with no other intentions. Now, with job introductions, most refer to me as a photographer. Simply because photography brings in income, I'm expected to carry the title of "professional," which can be a bit embarrassing. But everything has a beginning, so let me start from the beginning.

The original intention of 'The Morning Notes' series

拍照歷程中,有不同時期瓶頸。早期受困器材等級迷思,中期擔心影像辨識度與拍攝主題成熟度,後期則在理想與現實間掙扎。近為二〇二二年末,倦乏了,拍不出新意,甚至影響看待自我價值的態度。遑論現今,有人人皆為攝影師之競爭、社群填塞大量圖樣的緊迫。

此相交之際,我理想把重心放在拍出自己喜歡亦能感動他人的影像。

想增加影像如此單純之價值,得從拍照的慾望開始,此為源頭。The Morning Notes 緣此,盼以此欄對攝影多加描述,因此從電子信中有抽離出來,單獨成體。

Throughout the journey of photography, there have been various bottlenecks at different stages. In the early days, I was trapped by the misconception of equipment grades. In the middle phase, I worried about the personal image style and the maturity of the subjects. In the later stages, there was a struggle between idealism and reality. Towards the end of 2022, fatigue set in. I couldn't capture anything new, and it even affected my attitude towards my own self-worth. Not to mention the current situation, where everyone competes as photographers, and social media is flooded with a plethora of images.

At this juncture, I aimed to focus on capturing images that I personally love and that can also touch others.

To enhance the value of images in such simplicity, it must start from the desire to take photos; this is the source. "The Morning Notes" originated from this idea, hoping to provide more descriptions of photography through this column. Hence, it was separated from the newsletter and formed independently.
