《如何寻找、捕捉到你身边的“美”》
一. 寻找每个瞬间,精彩就在身边
世间万物,即存在,就有其特点及“美”之处。任何景色、任何景物,自然四季、人间百态、花鸟虫鱼、事无巨细,皆可入镜。不同的“美”用不同的方式来体现,则是摄影者自己的主观印象,殊途同归、因人而异。摄影者如何通过自己的眼睛,寻找到万物中的“美”,并用相机把它捕捉下来,是摄影者最基本的素质,相机仅仅是一种媒介,摄影者本身是最重要的主体。

1.训练自己的眼睛,从房前屋后、左邻右舍开始:看到别人所未见、找到别人所忽视、拍到别人所无意的景色,你将发现这天地是如此之宽广、丰富。

2.开启自己的关注,从自家老少、亲朋好友着手:男女老幼都可入镜、喜怒哀乐尽可成片、随时随地皆为“瞬间”,你将觉得这情景是取之不尽、用之不完。

切忌:熟视无睹、漠不关心,好高骛远、缺少“爱美之心”!

二.心动不如手动,遐想不如行动
“工欲善其事,必先利其器”,相机的作用对摄影者来说不言而喻,但并非好相机就能出好片,一般的相机一样可以拍出上乘作品。关键在于搞熟搞懂你自己手中的相机,利用其最好的功能,发挥其最大的效益,“有水就行船,有窝见下蛋”,物尽其用,不必非等到“万事齐备”,否则“水涨船高”,仍会“一无是处”。

1.一位“称职”的摄影者首先必须是一位“行动派”,要活在“当下”,而不是一位“空想者”。首先你要了解、摸清你手中相机及镜头等的基本功能和特点,搞清楚光圈、快门、感光度与光线亮度之间的互动关系;以及镜头取景的范围及能力,能做到随时随地可以“手到擒来”,正确使用相机进行拍照。

2.要搞清楚一般摄影作品的基本要素:角度、构图、焦点、景深、用光、色彩、时机、速度等等之间的相互关系及影响,能做到拍片时了解自己所想、知道自己所要,“胸有成竹”。并能够随时根据具体条件,调整自己的拍摄计划,“搂草打兔子”,不空手而回。

3.训练自己“拳不离手、曲不离口”,无论在家里、在户外,行走中、驾车时,能做到“手中无机、心中有机”,随时随地“眼随景动、心随眼动、手随心动”,“默拍”一切触动你并可以上像的景或物,成为一种“条件反射”。待有相机在手,就会“眼到、机到、手到”,随时开始你的拍摄活动,拍出你想要的佳作。

三.“美”的定义因人而异,属于自己的才是真正的“美”
世上的“美图”成千上万,令人眼花缭乱,评判的标准也五花八门,各有所爱。但什么是你的标准,什么是你的所爱,什么是你的“美”,则因人而异。“萝卜白菜、个人所爱”,除了要满足一张图片最基本的要素外,关键在于有你自己的特点,别人不可替代。

一张好的摄影作品,或是抓住“千载难逢”的时机,拍下典型的瞬间,没有可“复制”性;或是别开生面,选取独特的角度,令人耳目一新;或是另辟蹊径,独创一路,使人刮目相看……。总之,一位有想法的摄影者,可以“走老路”,但要“瞄新道”,准备“奔他方”。

不要以他人的眼光圈住自己,也不要以自己的眼光套住他人。

注:讲座中会配以大量的样片,说明《如何寻找、捕捉到你身边的“美”》,也希望听众提前提出问题和建议。

  • 2.1 Aperture:
    2.1.1 Concept of “stop(档)”; From bigger F# to smaller F# or vise versa: Time 1.4 or 0.7 for 1 stop change; and why 1.4 or 0.7

3. Basic equipment and shooting skills

  • 3.1 Hardware:
  • 3.2 Software:
  • 3.3 The reasonable way to shoot: Purpose is to hold your camera stable
  • 3.4 Basic camera setting: consider manual mode (ISO as low as possible, shutter as high as possible, aperture need based.  Compromise!)
  • 3.5 Factors that affect DOF, DOF calculator
  • 3.6 File format: RAW recommended and why
 

4. Introduction to SLR lenses: Types, functions and usage

《奇妙的光线 – 浅谈摄影用光》

 

对数码摄影而言,后期制作中,光线因素的可调节性很大。所以人们往往忽视数字摄影拍摄用光的许多细节,而把注意力集中在构图和后期制作上。经过后期制作的作品,虽然有鲜亮抢眼的特殊视觉效果,但效果并不来源于摄影本身。
此讲从典型作品分析入手,采用摄影光线分析的方法,让学生理解光线的特性,从而掌握不同环境下的摄影光线的使用。

正确控制成像:

亮度和对比度。
Histogram
LCD亮度
Lighter Meter:Evaluative, Partial (8%), Spot(3.5%), Center weighted Average.
Exposure Values (EV)

颜色的感知和错觉
光源的种类

自然光源:
人工光源:日光灯,钨丝灯,闪光灯(快门设置,补光)
光源的色温:

光源的性质

点光源,直射光,散射光,反射光。
不同性质光源的成像效果
暗光摄影,高调摄影,自然光摄影。

光源的位置:正,逆,测,顶,脚。
光源的层次和分布:
光线的对比度

光线的色彩:白平衡。
色彩的分解:光谱和基色,滤镜。
色彩的组合:补偿光线的使用。
被摄物体的颜色:
选择性吸收和反射:
记录光线的介质:
