六月自己最满意的照片～～～

六月就这么的过了半个月了～
感恩在这半个月里发生了好多的事情～
这里都是当中的一些劣作，
但他们都是我自信的作品～
感恩在人像的照片中成长了一点点，
虽然画面有些不足，
但这是上帝给我的恩典，
我要赞美祂～
感恩祂赐了我这份恩赐～

25 Photo Composition Tips

One of the most common problems facing new photographers – and some of us OLD photographers – is finding a great composition. Like pizza, it’s a matter of taste, but there are some fairly standard agreed-upon guidelines for a good composition. On March 20 I wrote a piece for the blog called Five Composition Tips – http://photofocus.com/2009/03/20/five-photo-composition-tips-twipphotocom/ I’ve decided to expand on this. I also want to note these are GUIDELINES, not rules. For each of these points you could make an opposite artistic argument. Go there if you must, but if you do, you miss the point of the list. Concentrate on the basics first, then you have earned the right to get fancy and ignore them.

1. Be clear on your subject. What story are you trying to tell with the photo?

2. Draw attention to the subject. This can be done by simply getting closer, by using selective focus, by using color, by lighting just the subject, by framing the subject in a doorway or window, etc.

3. Simplify. Simple is best. Remove anything that doesn’t help you tell the story.

4. When in doubt, leave it out. If there is something in your field of view that is not relevant to the subject or doesn’t somehow support the subject, get rid of it.

5. Check your negative space. Don’t leave too much negative space and when you do have negative space, be sure you use it right. Leave room for the subject in the frame unless you have a specific reason not to.

6. Fill the frame. You can rarely go wrong by filling the frame with the main subject. Many of the best pictures are the simplest ones. You don’t have to add background for the sake of adding background.

7. Check the edges of the frames. Don’t cut off feet or hands of your subject half way. If you want to exclude those appendages, make sure we know you meant to do so. Make a clean crop well above the wrist for instance if you don’t want to include the hands.

8. Check for intruders. Is there something popping into the picture from the side? Is there a tree branch, power line, telephone poll, etc., that creeps into the shot and steals attention from the subject? Re-compose and remove it.

9. Remember POV – Point of View. Shoot up on objects to make them more powerful. Shoot down on subjects to diminish them or make then look less imposing.

10. Use the rule of thirds. Draw a Tic-Tac-Toe board over your picture in your mind. Position the subject at one of the four intersecting corners in the grid.

11. When making portraits, always keep the eyes above the center line in the photo.

12. Strive for balance. Look at the composition and determine if there’s something out of place that tilts the viewer’s attention one way or the other.

13. The eye goes to the brightest part of the scene first. So don’t let anything in the photo other than the main subject be brighter than the subject.

14. Add depth by including strong foreground objects in shots where the background is also important.

15. Shoot vertically to enhance tall objects or to emphasize height. Shoot horizontally to emphasize width.

16. Use patterns, particularly repeating patterns to make pictures more interesting.

17. Use leading lines to attract the viewer’s eye where you want it to go.

18. Use S-curves or shapes as a more relaxed casual way to lead your eye through the composition. A road or a stream are good examples of this approach.

19. Start by shooting at your subject’s eye level. For example, get down low when making a child or animal’s portrait rather than standing over them and shooting down on them.

20. Make sure there is separation between multiple subjects to avoid unsightly merges.

21. Don’t center everything unless there’s a reason.

22. Don’t let the horizon fall dead center in the picture.

23. Don’t let the horizon cut through the head of any human or animal subject.

24. Don’t let the horizon merge with objects that are important to your image and make sure it is level.

25. Right before you make the photo take a second, look up, look down, look all around and make sure there’s nothing you’re missing

英雄？

有天，
忘记在哪里人多的地方
在跟一位女性朋友聊天时，
聊啊聊，
就突然我冒了一句
“男朋友勒？”
她就说，
“在当着英雄哦～”
我当时还蛮好奇的想着
“英雄？”
再看看她的脸，
很认真也！

我就说
“啥英雄啊？"
“跟你一样啊”
我？我算什么英雄啊？
她说道
“为啥你每次都不在照片里头呢？”
我说因为我拍照啊
她问道“为什么要拍照呢？”
因为我热爱摄影啊
所以咯～我男朋友跟你一样，别人叫他摄影白痴～
我当他是我的英雄～
我说“我还是抓不到你的意思，你直说诶～～～～”
“因为他是照片背后的英雄啊～～～～～”

o.O～～～～～
严重明白了～～～
“其实你也是一位哦～”
“我？不是～我是低调了点～”
“就是因为低调才能照片背后的英雄啊”


ok。。。我承认，你的话安慰了我
每次当看到一些美美的照片时，
再看看里面没有自己。。。
感觉还真的是他x的不爽啊。。。
不过，
再想想，
因为自己肯牺牲，
牺牲后得到这么好看的照片，也值得啦～
感恩～

她再继续问道
“你的器材大概有几公斤？”
我想了想。。。
机身+镜头+闪光灯+电池等等
“大概快3公斤咯”
“OMG，这么重？”
“对啊，做么呢？”
"我的男朋友还好些～没你的那么重 :P"

不过想想，
我常常拿着那么重的器材，
也没什么～
因为我庞大的身体跟手臂可以支撑我的小老婆～
我每次拍照蹲来蹲去，
爬来爬去
坐上坐下
虽然不是最好的作品
虽然会很累
不过每张照片都是我可爱的孩子
在看回照片时，
在从照片中认识自己时，
我很感恩，
上帝让我有了这份的恩赐

过后就聊了好多～
当然，大多数都是她在说她的男朋友～
不过就在我要离开时，
她突然鞠躬向我说
“虽然今天不是你帮我们拍照，不过看到你平常拍的照片，很开心知道在当中发生什么事情，谢谢你，照片背后的英雄”
莫名其妙的一种感动

将荣耀归给天上的父，
再次感恩祂让我拥有了拍摄的恩赐
一切都是为祂而拍而做！
为自己加油！

隨著時間的流逝,
我会发现到照片存在意義;
不管是人物風景,
照片就是凍結了時間的剎那,
那天再回頭看一看,
一切都已經物換星移,
不知道是要讚嘆還是要說可惜,
或者是要說幸好有留下這些照片,
一切都變成了回憶,
時間不會倒流;
电脑及hardisk存放了许多照片;
每一次看回总是勾起回忆:

時間就是這麼快,
不禁讓每天都在拍照的我一直想:
到底要如何才能留下更多回憶,
我就选择继续拍,
勇敢繼續拍吧,
因為時間不等人;
就讓照片成為記憶的伴侶,
一直到永遠！

I love Photo, because the best thing about it is that it never change even the person in it does.
至少，

我相信了～

之前提到的参加摄影比赛
没得到名次
不过不要紧
下次我会好好加油的～
对自己说加油！加油！加油～～
也将荣耀归给天父～

严重发现到，
D90在7个月内为我献出10，686张照片，
D700在8个月内为我献出了16，753张照片，
除了感恩还是感恩～
对自己说加油！
