Photo Inspiration ...A photo wins a thousand words,
Maybe there is a story behind it.
畫意書情 ...
背後也許有一個故事。

The Only Vivid Color Photo: This photograph was taken in Cheung Chau Island, Hong Kong. It had a light rain. I had an umbrella in one hand and the camera in another to shoot the scene. It is because of the overcast that all the shots of the scene are lacking color and the contrast is very low. Even so, I have completed a thematic post of "Rainy Snaps".
I remember the day I went to the East Beach, strolling along the footpath next to the beach. There is a small basketball stadium next to the beach. The ground color of the stadium attracted me: blue ground, red circle and white boundaries were clearly distinct. The beach is visible behind the stadium. The sea and the sky are gloomy and gray whereas the colors of the basketball court are vivid casting a strong contrast.
To take this picture, I have to move the camera up and down to separate the beach from the basketball court: the former is on the upper half and the latter on the lower half of the screen. The tone of the whole picture looks very strong. The sea and the sky appear in black and white tones, the court is of strong bright colors. Light rain has cleaned up the court floor. The water softens the tough colors with ripples and displays the reflections of the thin pillars and eye-catching watchtower.
Secondly, I put the center line of the court floor at the center of the screen to strike a good balance and avoid the pillar stacking over the observation tower.
Finally, there is the roof of the stadium. I have to move left and right to align the angle of the roof to the center. I have to ensure a straight and well balance of the screen. However it is a pity that owing to the angle of the view, I cannot align the triangular tip atop to the middle of the screen.
This photo is a combination of art, design and photography. among all the photos taken in Cheung Chau, this is the only vivid color photo shot!

「唯一鮮明的彩照」︰照片是在香港長洲拍攝的。當天下著微雨，我要一手打傘，一手用相機拍攝景物。由於天陰，拍出的景物都沒有色彩，反差很低。 雖然如此，我都可以完成了「雨中攝趣」的專題帖子。
記得當天走到長洲東灣，在沙灘旁的行人小徑漫步。沙灘旁邊有一個小型籃球場。場內地上的色彩吸引了我：藍色的地面，紅色的圓形和白色的界線，清楚分明。球場背後就是沙灘。海面與天空陰沉灰暗，與球場的鮮艷色彩形成強烈的對比。
為了要拍攝這幅畫面，我向上下移動相機，將海灘和球場劃分為二，前者在上，後者在下。整幅畫面的色調便很強烈了。海面和天空是黑白色調，球場是強烈的鮮艷色彩。微雨將球場地面洗刷得很乾淨，水影也打破了硬朗的色彩，泛起漣漪，也反映了小柱和救生員瞭望塔的倒影。
其次，我以球場地面的中間界線為畫面的中線，也要取得左右平衡，避免支柱疊在瞭望塔上。
最後，就是球場上面的上蓋，我向左右移動，為了要將角型的上蓋移到中間，取得視覺和畫面的平衡。有點可惜，就是角度問題，不能將上蓋的三角尖移到畫面的中間。
整幅照片就是「美術」、「設計」和「攝影」的組合。這是我在長洲拍攝景物照片中唯一色彩鮮明的攝影習作!
