Pond scene in Mamiya RB67 萬美亞 RB67 的池景

【Film Photography】
《Pond scene in 6x7 Mamiya RB67》
The pond photographed today was unintentionally discovered in the jungle three years ago. My car is parked on the roadside and the pond can be reached on foot in 5 minutes. If you continue, the trail will go south along the river and about 15 kilometers reaching the lakeside away from Toronto Ontario.
I like to take photos here and enjoy the quiet environment. The small pond is level like a mirror, with reflections of dead wood, and birdsongs in the woods. The higher the daily accumulation of litter and dead branches at the edge of the pond, the formation of the water surface is getting slightly higher than the ground level, which is conducive to better low-angle photography. Today, for the first time, Mamiya RB67, a medium format film camera was used to shoot the pool scene. A roll of 120 film can take 10 6x7 larger (56mm x 67mm) photos. Digital photography focuses on "shoot first and edit later", which is convenient and fast. Film photography however emphasizing "man-camera fusion", spends more time on composing and uses the mind more to adjust the camera. Stressing on creative photography is in essence an expression of love in photo shoot and joy of playing with the camera.

《萬美亞 6x7 中片幅的池景》
今天拍攝的池塘，是三年前在密林中無意中發現的。汽車停在路旁，步行5分鐘便可到達，如繼續前行，小徑沿河往南走，約15公里可到達多倫多安大略湖濱。我喜歡在這裡攝影，享受清幽的環境。細小的池塘，水平如鏡，枯木倒影，林中鳥鳴。塘邊落葉枯枝日積愈高，形成水面比地平稍高，有利低角度拍照。今天首次用中片幅菲林機拍攝池景，一卷120菲林可拍10張 6x7 比例大底(56mm x 67mm) 照片。數碼攝影著重「先拍後改」，方便快㨗。菲林攝影講求「人機合一」，多用時間取景構圖，善用心思調較相機。專注攝影創作，本質也是疼愛攝影與把玩相機的表現。
