Chasing After the Sunset 黃金追落日

Car
From the New Territorries
Leaves Sheung Shui in the north, 
And passes through tunnels of all
Finally comes out of the Kowloon Door.
Driving along Castle Peak Road is the highway corridor
We run towards the west to Golden Beach, least of all!


Highway
Meandering from Yuen Long;
Cars on queue extend many miles long.
In sunset, wayward boats sail along.
Lamp posts on roadside
Move backward as if they've gone;
Railings by the shore
Retreat on and on.

Bridges
connect the islands of Tsing Yi and Ma Wan in a line.
High above in heaven 
An airplane flies
Through the charming clouds in the sky.
Pulling over on the shoulder for a while
We shoot beautiful scenes rarely seen in our life.

Sun
Appears at the end of the road
and casts the golden gleam of the glow.
In the dusk
the beautiful dark red clouds grow.
To stop the flying time of the white steed
We chase after the setting sun on the road
To get reminiscence pleasant to behold!

(Most of the photos of this album were taken from a running vehicle)
Thanks for my friend Simeon to give me a ride.

=================================

汽車... 從新界北
駛出上水 穿過隧道
鑽出九龍 沿青山路
飛馳西走 黃金海岸

公路... 蜿蜒漫長
元朗車龍 夕陽歸帆
路旁燈柱 急速後跑
岸邊圍欄 趕往後退

大橋... 連著青衣
緊接馬灣 萬里長空
鐵鳥高飛 衝上雲霄
停車片刻 拍下美景

日曘... 路的盡頭
散發金光 夕陽黃昏
殷紅彩霞 抓住白駒
匆匆追日 留著回憶

(大部份照片在行駛中的汽車中拍攝)
感謝好友 Simeon 為我充當司機

#1, The car ran fast towards Tuen Mun and entered into a time tunnel?

沿青山公路住屯門方向,黃昏夕陽,是追日的開始!

黃昏夕陽,漫天晚霞,捉不住溜走的時光!

#4. In sunset, is it possible to get to the Golden Beach in Tuen Mun before the sun has set completely?
645 PRO for iPhone @4.1mm, f/2.4, 1/1700sec, ISO 50
夕陽西下,能否日落西沉前,趕抵屯門黃金海岸沙灘?

#5. While pulling over on the shoulder for 3 minutes to take photos, I can see a plane flying over the beautiful sky.
645 PRO for iPhone @4.1mm, f/2.4, 1/1100sec, ISO 50
停車路旁三分鐘,就是拍攝沿岸落日景色,一架飛機在夕陽上空飛過。

#10. Heaven is golden and tinted with red drapery, an airplane is flying  over to break through the clouds.

天上降下金紅的帳幔,鐵鳥隨隨升空,衝
向雲霄。

#11. Traffic lights of red, yellow, green are wary of driving. The nature's red, yellow, green, make the world colorful and fascinating.
Nikon D300s, 18-200mm, f/3.5-5.6 @82mm, f/6.3, 1/8000sec, ISO 320
交通燈的紅、黃、綠,有警惕駕駛的作用。自然界的紅、黃、綠,卻將世界濃粧艷抹,引人入勝。

#12. While driving,  cutting the sun into half is not easy.  It is merely a coincidence and a combination of luck.   To be successful, we have to shoot and try more.
Nikon D300s, 18-200mm, f/3.5-5.6 @136mm, f/6.3, 1/8000sec, ISO 320
行車中,將太陽上下一分為二,並非容易,是巧合和運氣的結合,要成功,便要多拍丶多嘗試。

#13. Railings and lamp post each has its place and  in different location, either above or below, dense and sparse, they are the same in sharing the colors of the rays.
Nikon D300s, 18-200mm, f/3.5-5.6 @95mm, f/6.3, 1/4000sec, ISO 320
欄杆燈柱雖然各在其位,在不同的位置,在上的、在下的、密集的、疏落的,同樣都分享到霞光賦予的色彩。

#14. The lamp posts high above are unattainable.  The sun is not high, but has issued a seductive charm and fascination!
Nikon D300s, 18-200mm, f/3.5-5.6 @90mm, f/6.3, 1/8000sec, ISO 320
燈柱高高在上,令人高不可攀,日輪雖然在下,不在高位,卻發出誘人魅力,令人嚮往!

#15. Sunset glow is like canopy of the sky and covering clouds with gorgeous clothing.
Nikon D300s, 18-200mm, f/3.5-5.6 @60mm, f/6.3, 1/8000sec, ISO 320
夕陽金光,為天幕蓋上彩錦,為白雲添上華衣。

#16. Cars, bicycles, pedestrians are moving in advance of the sunset.
Nikon D300s, 18-200mm, f/3.5-5.6 @28mm, f/6.3, 1/1600sec, ISO 320
汽車、單車、行人都是朝著夕陽晚霞前進。

#17. Sun glow lit the tree shadows and sunset paints clouds in the window.
Nikon D300s, 18-200mm, f/3.5-5.6 @90mm, f/6.3, 1/6400sec, ISO 320
曘輝光輪掩樹影,日暮彩霞照窗簾。

樹倚彩霞光輪轉

#19. The sun afar and above the railing is floating on the sunset clouds
Nikon D300s, 18-200mm, f/3.5-5.6 @130mm, f/6.3, 1/6400sec, ISO 320
欄前彩霞浮日影

#20. Home-bound sails in sunset
Nikon D300s, 18-200mm, f/3.5-5.6 @60mm, f/6.3, 1/5000sec, ISO 320
黃昏落日見歸航

#21. The photo of the sunset sails just insert in the frame of the railing makes an artifice of composition in photography.
Nikon D300s, 18-200mm, f/3.5-5.6 @55mm, f/6.3, 1/800sec, ISO 320
落日歸航的畫面,剛巧嵌入路邊欄杆的框孔,形成巧妙的攝影構圖。

#22. The sky full of dark red clouds appears behind and above the railing
Nikon D300s, 18-200mm, f/3.5-5.6 @135mm, f/6.3, 1/4000sec, ISO 320
欄杆背後顯現漫天殷紅的彩霞



#23. It is too late to get to the Golden Beach in Tuen Mun as the sun has already set down in the west.
645 PRO for iPhone @4.1mm, f/2.4, 1/125sec, ISO 50
抵達屯門黃金海岸沙灘,可惜惟時已晚,落日已西沉。

#24. Fortunately, you can enjoy the night falls and the intimate moments.
Nikon D300s, 18-200mm, f/3.5-5.6 @26mm, f/6.3, 1/200sec, ISO 320
還好,也可欣賞夜幕低垂,情侶談情相偎的溫馨時刻。

  2. I love this series. 夕陽無限、已是近黃昏。
    聖經傳道書說:人活多年、就當快樂多年;•••••少年人哪,你在幼年時當快樂。
    這都是神的話語、切記切記。

  5. 喜欢作品1:【天上降下金紅的帳幔。。。】。请问燈柱怎么会变成十架呢?
    作品2:【汽車、單車、行人都是朝著夕陽晚霞前進】。
    你追。我追。。她追。。。
    我们是同路人,追抓同一目标!
    即使我们人生到了黄昏,只要在光的带领下,一样能《织出彩虹万里長》的好乐章。
    感谢分享!

      1. 透過你的觀察,你竟然可以發現第一枝燈柱是「十架字」的形狀, 這是巧合還是天意?
      2. 你說的作品2,我也喜歡:左面騎單車的形像剪影很鮮明,右方一組燈柱的透視效果很強烈。汽車的窗框和右面的彎形天橋剪影成為照片的相框了。天上的彩雲很美和具動感,而你的文字詮釋更令我產生共鳴!
      謝謝你的意見分享!

    2. Derek:
      我再細心分析照片【天上降下金光的帳幔...】,有幾個發現:「十字架」是前面的一枝燈柱疊在第二枝燈柱所做成的。這是在高速行車中拍攝中的巧合,再拍也難有這樣的視覺效果。另外,天空出現了一隻鐵鳥,位置剛好在「十字架」之下,而上面也有一隻小鳥在燈罩上,一上一下,拍攝時未有留意,很特別,是無意中的巧合還是天意?

  6. 有機會與好友追日, 在人生歷程中留下一頁美妙的回憶; 再有機會看到如詩似畫的照片和旁白, 心中不禁浮出一種難以描述的共鳴感, 謝謝!

  7. I like this one the best - "While pulling over on the shoulder for 3 minutes to take photos, I can see a plane flying over the beautiful sky."

  8. All photos are so beautiful in this series! Didn't realize the sunset scenes could be that beautiful while I was in HK. Perhaps I was too busy staying inside the city to appreciate it. Next time when I go to HK, I shall spend an evening or two in the suburban areas to watch the sunset! Again, thanks for sharing! - Louella
