Rainy Snaps 雨中攝趣

Most people prefer sunny, blue sky and white clouds to go out taking photos. In rainy day, it will affect the shooting mood, even dispel the idea of photography. This day, I went to Cheung Chau Island in Hong Kong, going to shoot some distinctive views. Unfortunately, it rained all day from the beginning to the end of the trip.

As I was already there, I would have to shoot in the rain to get some surprises. I focus on the observation of the relationship between the rain  and the surrounding characters, emphasizing the reflection, contrast and composition skills in photography. In the rain, I opened my photographic eyes, and finally explored the discovery. The whole series of photos displayed in black and white.

============================= 

大部份喜歡拍攝照片的朋友都喜歡選擇陽光普照,藍天白雲的時間出外獵影。下雨天,便會影響拍攝,甚至打消攝影的念頭。這天去長洲,打算拍些長洲具特色的景物。可惜天不做美,由起程到回程,都下著雨。既然來到,我便要在雨中拍出驚喜。我集中觀察雨水與周遭人物環境的關係,強調倒影、對比、構圖的技巧。在雨中,我張大攝影的眼晴,終於有新的發現。全輯照片以黑白顯示。

  1. 这一辑很特别,你的摄影眼是不受气候;环境...等条件所影响,在平凡的环境下也可以创作出这么好的作品,佩服!有才!你采用黑与白的色像与明暗的对比把人生的哲学从你的作品中表现出来,太有意义了。喜欢【在陰暗處,喜見上下出現「一線天」】。从这一張我感想:真理道路虽然是崎岖不容易走,真理的門终然是窄的不容易进,我相信只要坚持,珍稀现在,盼望未来,曙光在前方!

    1. Derek: 謝謝分享你的感言。我希望一張看來普通的照片能「說話」﹐以配合畫意﹐ 所以我嘗試在文字創作方面下點心思﹐﹐使照片多一點「內在美」。我在四月一日開始了一個專集「畫意書情」:從一張照片說起﹐環繞「攝影」﹐無所不談﹐希望你也喜歡這專集並多給予意見。
