AERIAL 编辑评语：冰岛直升机航拍， 画面以线条与色块组成，比较 具有现代艺术特征。 Editor’s Comments: This helicopter shot of Iceland is composed of lines & color blocks reminiscent of modern art. HOW DO YOU KNOW THE VIEW FROM ABOVE IF YOU NEVER STRIVE TO REACH THE TOP? By Zuo Hong I originally thought that aerial landscape photography required nothing was cropped or added in post-production. This ensures the continuous shooting, like photographing moving animals. But after quality and authenticity of the shot, and the photo better reflects the stepping into a helicopter for the first time, I realized that aircraft photographer's improvisation and ideation as a result. Aerial shots hovers steadily enough and flies slowly enough that precise can be executed like ground shots – they can embody the composition and even handheld photo stitching is achievable. The photographer’s subjective intentions within themselves, without the composition of this photo was entirely planned during the flight – need for heavy post-processing. 7

Benjamin Chueng 建筑摄影 ARCHITECTURE 编辑导言 - 張筱羲 Editor’s Words 建筑摄影的重点是捕捉建筑物和建筑结构，通常侧重于 Architectural photography focuses on capturing buildings 结构设计的美学。虽然它是围绕着静止的物体，但建筑摄 and architectural structures, typically focusing on the 影仍然给摄影师带来了某些挑战。例如，通过使用特定的 aesthetics of a structure’s design.

ARCHITECTURE Nikon 850 HALLGRÍMSKIRKJA CHURCH 14-24mm IN ICELAND Aperture f11 By Ti Wang Shutter Speed 125 The photo was taken early this year in Reykjavík. it was post-processed ISO 200 into a luminous black and Post Processing Software white architecture photo. photoshop 编辑评语： 漂亮的构图，使用 黑白是阅读几何图案的明智选择。 这座教堂是一个对称设计的建筑， 在拍摄时，相机的位置可以放在 建筑前面的中心位置。漂浮在教 堂顶部的光环是这张照片的一个 很好的点缀。 Editor’s Comments: This photo has a beautiful composition – using the black & white was a smart choice for reading the geometrical patterns. This church is a symmetrically designed building, so the camera could have been placed at the front-center of the building. The floating halo atop of the church is a nice touch! 10

ARCHITECTURE Canon 5D4 FOG Canon 11-24mm By Mei Zhang Aperture f8 Chicago skyscrapers under dense Shutter Speed 1/100s fog. ISO 160 编辑评语：建筑物都指向天空，并 向雾中传导。然而，对于这个标题 来说，雾有点太薄了。路灯的形状 与建筑物的线条形成了良好的对比。 由于路灯被放置在图片的底部中间， 如果能使灯柱与框架的底部边缘垂 直对齐，那就更好了。 Editor’s Comments: The sharp angle of this shot gives the impression that the buildings are pointing up to the sky, towards the fog. The shape of the streetlamp is a nice contrast to the lines of the buildings. However, perpendicularly aligning the streetlamp to the bottom edge of the frame may have enhanced the composition. 11

ARCHITECTURE LOWELL CITY HALL This city hall was built in 1893, and By Sheena Gu lots of city events have taken place under this clock tower since. This Nikon D850 photo was taken shortly after the 24-70 mm @65mm start of 2022, but the holiday wreaths are still hanging!

Cary Chu 新手摄影 BEGINNER 编辑导言 Editor’s Words - 朱健雄 对于新的初学者来说，有必要多练习，多拍摄。但是，在按下快门之前， 你需要思考。多分享，愿意接受评论。知道如何选择能帮助你的评论。 For beginners, practicing is crucial. However, you need to think before you press the shutter. Share your work and be willing to take constructive feedback. Learn how to choose the comments that can help you. 13

BEGINNER 全神 贯 注 ALL EYES AND EARS By Donna Doung Canon 5d mark 4 编辑评语：在体育摄影中，除了 100-400mm 整体场景外，大特写拍摄更有吸 接球手的眼神充满了自信。 Aperture F5 引力和故事性。我们通常用大焦 The receiver's eyes were filled with confidence. 距镜头拍摄因为主体总是在远处。 Shutter Speed 1/500 较大的光圈来突显主题。高快门 ISO 100 速度来捕捉动作。使用大焦距镜 头，被摄主体在远处，并且通常 在一群，而且动作迅速，所以对 焦非常重要。这张照片，对焦点 准确。快门速度捕捉了动作。如 果她提前几分之一秒拍摄这张照 片，球离手套只有一英寸远，这 将是一张令人惊叹的照片。 Editor’s Comments: Besides the overall scene, the most attractive part of sports photography is the close-up shot, which usually tells the story of the scene. We usually shoot these with large focal length lenses, because the subjects are always at a distance – a larger aperture to make the subject pop, and a high shutter speed to capture the action. With all of these factors in mind, the focus is crucial. The focus here is right on the spot, while the shutter speed accurately captures the action. If the photo was taken just a fraction of a second earlier, before the ball hit the glove, it would have been a stunning photo. 14

BEGINNER USS CONSTITUTION FIRST UNDERWAY IN 2022 By Feng Li Canon 6D Mark 2 编辑评语：从照片上看，拍摄环境 Canon USM 24-105 F4.0 不是很好。首先，光线不足（不是 晴天），需要更大的光圈。但是因 Aperture F6.3 为需要保持大的景深, 所以不能用 Shutter Speed 1/400 太大的光圈。第二，移动的物体。 需要更高的快门速度。但是不能使 ISO 100 用太高的快门速度，因为光线不足。 光圈f6.3，不错的设置。快门速度 为1/400，足以冻结移动的物体。 我的建议是，尝试用较大的光圈模 糊背景，或在后期制作中刷亮船舶， 以便将船舶从背景中分离出来，让 它变得更加突出。 Editor’s Comments: Based on the photo, the shooting environment was challenging. First, there was a lack of a light source, so a larger aperture was needed – but not too large, so depth of field is maintained. Second, the moving object necessitated a higher shutter speed – but not too high, because there isn’t enough light. The he settings this photographer submitted (aperture f6.3, shutter speed 1/400) were good, but it would’ve been best to either shoot with a larger aperture to blur the background, or to light up the ship in post-processing to make the ship pop out from the background.

BEGINNER 沉 睡 的 巨 人 By Donna Doung Canon 5Dmark 4 编辑评语：作为一个初学者，我 黄昏时的海浪，这块大石，像一个巨人的头，仰卧在深重的大海里享受着海浪的嬉戏。 100-400 mm 会给她很高的评价。焦点、光圈 和快门速度都恰到好处。构图上， 16 Aperture F5.6 她明智地使用了接近于三一黄金 Shutter Speed 1/200 sec 线的布局。远处的一只小鸟起到 了画龙点睛的作用。这张照片拍 ISO 2000 出了一个令人惊叹的场景。建议: 增加对比度。 Editor’s Comments: For a beginner, this is a great shot! The focus, aperture, and shutter speed are just right. Compositionally, the one-third rule is well observed, with a small bird in the distance serving as the finishing touch. Altogether, this photo captures a stunning scene. One minor suggestion I could make would be to increase the contrast.

BLACK & WHITE A LAND CALLED TIBET By Hong Zhou 编辑评语：慢门的拍摄把前景的 流水与远方的白云拍出了优美的 No wonders; no miracles. Just a typical scene in the land of Tibet. 动感，而这一份动感又与画面中 心的山和地形成了一个动与静的 对比，摄影师构图用心。作品细 节分明，有气势。 Editor’s Comment: The slow shutter speed successfully brings out the beautiful motion of the stream in the foreground and the white clouds in the distance. This motion creates a contrast between the fluent stream and the quiet mountains. The work is very fine in detail and has great visual impact. 编辑建议：感觉上作品的主题重 点是想表达西藏的山高地广，前 景的流水的亮度分散了我对于山 的注意，建议试试减少前景的流 水的部分。或者大胆地裁掉前景 的水，只专注在表达山的凝重。 后期也可以进一步加强一下土地 的明暗对比。 Editor’s sharing: The brightness of the water in the foreground pulls attention away from the mountains, so it may be best to crop out some of the foreground, or even crop out the water entirely so the gravity of the mountains can be emphasized. The photo could also be enhanced by increasing the contrast of the land in post-processing. 18

BLACK & WHITE !\"#Mei Hu Canon 5D Mark IV, 200mm F/11, 1/400s, ISO 160 编辑评语：这真是一副优美的托 斯卡纳田园风光作品。主题清楚， 意境优美，山峦起伏，层次有致， 天上人间，烂银霞照通澈。照片 构图平稳，摄影师先把照片底部 的农地压暗了色调，色黑为重， 增加了照片的厚重感；然后照片 从中部开始，透过反光的香烟缭 绕作为引导，把视线一步一步的 带到层层叠叠明暗分明的群山， 观看这个作品是一种享受。 Editor’s Comments: This photo captures a beautiful, idyllic moment in Tuscany. The theme is clear; the mood is romantic; the hills roll languidly; the layers of shadows are exquisite. Overall, the photo’s composition is stable. It appears the photographer first darkened the tones of the farmland at the bottom to increase the image’s heaviness, then uses the dazzling reflective smoke as a leading line to gradually bring the viewer’s attention gradually to the layers of distant mountains. Thank you for sharing! It was a pleasure to view this artwork. 秋收后 作者概述： 托斯卡纳一农庄秋收后烧麦秸的场景 19

The hastiness of the calf’s evasive maneuvers and the determination on the cowboy’s face are captured precisely with a 1/1200 shutter speed, making a dynamic moment. In the words of the photographer themselves: time is the only criterion for achievement. 套 小 牛 By Yun Thwaits 夏耘 Canon 5D Mark 4 F8, ISO640, Shutter speed 1200 作者概述：套小牛比赛妙趣横生，表现了牛仔们的果断、准确和利索。当小牛冲出圈后，手持绳套的牛仔策马紧追。牛 仔甩出绳套准确地套在小牛脖子上，随之翻身下马，全力冲向被套住的小牛，用双手将百来斤重的小牛提起，而后将其 贯在地上并迅速将小牛的前后脚用绳子捆住，动作干净、利落。时间是取得成绩的唯一标准。 20

BLACK & WHITE SCREAM By Mei Zhang 编辑评语:照片的標題是小女孩在噴 泉附近尖叫。從照片上來看，不是 A little girl was screaming near a fountain. 很清楚攝影師要表達的尖叫是玩水 的開心所引起，還是受到某種驚嚇。 假如是想要表達歡樂的尖叫，可能 可以試試去捕捉小女孩尖叫時快樂 的眼神，那樣主題所要表達的意思 會更明確一點。在後期處理方面， 照片周圍加了暗角把小女孩突出了， 但是明暗漸進不是太平滑，可以看 到banding的痕跡，可能是因為 Level 或者Curve壓暗邊角所引起。 希望攝影師有機會的話可以進一步 改善一下暗角的效果。 Editor’s Comments: It’s unclear whether the little girl’s scream is caused by the joy of playing in the water, or caused by a frightening stimulus. If the moment is joyful, it might be best to capture the happiness in her eyes to make the meaning of the photo clearer. In terms of post- processing, the dark corners around the photo were added to highlight the subject, but the gradation of the brightness and the shadows were rough, creating banding marks – potentially caused by using the Level or Curve adjustment layer on the corners. I suggest that the photographer further refine their work with the dark corners. Canon 5D4 Canon 70-200mm Aperture f2.8 Shutter Speed 1/500s ISO 100 21

BLACK & WHITE Stata Center of MIT Canon R5 By Yun Thwaits Stata Student Center of MIT, RF 24-105mm 06/28/2022, Cambridge, MA.

This photo is full of geographic elements, with a very even ratio between black and white that can be seen in the smooth transition between light and dark. Overall, this photographer’s post- processing skills are clearly strong. 22

BLACK & WHITE 编辑评语:這個舞者的捕捉瞬間非 常精彩。攝影師故意採用慢速度 的快門與小光圈拍出了動感，長 髮飛揚，舞姿縹緲，虽然是慢速 度，舞者的五官臉龐卻依然是清 晰可見。舞者的身體明暗對比也 很有特色，半邊的身體在亮光之 下，另外一本又籠罩在黑影裡， 與大片的黑色背景混在一起，令 舞者的曼妙舞姿更形突出。 Editor’s Comments: This dancer's captured moment is very wonderful. The photographer deliberately used a slow shutter speed and a small aperture to capture the motion, long hair flying, dancing posture is distant. Although slow shutter speed is used, the dancer's facial features are still clearly sharp. The contrast between the light and dark of the dancer's body is also very distinctive, half of the body is under the bright light and the other is covered in black shadow, mixing with the large black background to make the dancer's delicate dance more prominent. YOUNG DANCER By Yan Johnson Nikon Z7 Nikon 24-70mm A young dancer, performing at her final high school event. Aperture F6.3 Shutter Speed 1/80 ISO 250 23

BLACK & WHITE 编辑评语:這個黑白照片是用手機拍 攝，畫質方面與單反相機拍的有所 鸽子与少年 差別，但是不影響我們觀賞照片的 By Ann Fong 體驗。年輕人的衣服是一片漆黑， 看不出任何的細節。老經驗攝影師 iPhone 7 會知道黑白照片可以分成11個等級， 傍晚巴塞罗纳的街头 從全黑到全白有10個過渡。一般的 建議是盡量避免照片裡面有太多的 全黑或者全白的區域。但是假如我 們老是以一成不變的法則去看照片， 反而有的時候會局限了我們的想像 力。我猜想攝影師可能是故意把年 輕人的背影壓暗，因為她可能覺得 衣服的細節不是重點。重點是動與 靜的對比。從背後看得出來年輕人 是看著飛舞的鴿子，不知道小孩當 時心裡在想什麼。右邊遠方有個路 人回頭看著年輕人，也增加了一點 故事性。 Editor’s Comments: This photo was taken with a cell phone, and the picture quality is different from the quality generated from a DSLR camera; however, this does not negatively affect our viewing experience. Here, the young man’s clothes are pitch-black with no visible details. Experienced photographers can tell you that black and white photos can be divided into 11 gray levels, with 10 transitions between black and white. The rule of thumb is to avoid having too many black or white areas in your photos – but sometimes judging every photo by the same rules can limit our imagination. In this instance, I think the photographer may have intentionally darkened the young man's body because she may think that the details on the clothes were insufficient. 24

BLACK & WHITE YALE CAMPUS By Zongwei Wang Mobile Phone 编辑评语:這個是手機拍攝的照片， 但是細節分明，可能是後期銳化的效 果。照片的特色是線條圖形豐富。幾 何圖形那麼豐富的照片是一個把明暗 層次充分展示出來的好機會。可惜這 個照片的黑白過於平淡單薄。比如說 照片右邊的柱子就缺乏明暗層次感。 正前方的建築物也有點往右下方傾斜 的感覺，希望攝影師有機會的話再後 期處理補救一下。照片裡中心有個行 人與兩隻狗，但是處在陰暗處，不夠 明顯，對於照片的主題也沒有太多的 幫助。假如時光可以倒流的話，我可 能會再等两秒，讓行人與狗走到亮光 的地方再按下快門。照片左邊的圓形 大理石好像也有跟整個照片不太搭調。 Editor’s Comments: While this shot comes from a cell phone, its details are rich thanks to the sharpening effect. One noticeable characteristic of this photo is the line pattern. While this is typically a good opportunity to enhance the light and dark layers of a photo, the contrast in this case is too flat; for example, the pillar on the photo’s right side lacks a sense of light and dark layering. The building in front of the photo is also slightly off-level. Hopefully, this can be adjusted in post- processing. The pedestrian and their two dogs, while in the center of the photo, are too far away to grab the viewer’s attention, and ultimately detracts from the photo. 25

Feng Chai 创意摄影 C R E AT I V E 编辑导言 - 柴锋 Editor’s Words 什么是创意摄影？不同的人会有不同的定义。在 What is creative photography? Different people 我看来，创意摄影就是有意识地使用各种前后期的摄 have different definitions.

CREATIVE 水墨荷叶 中国人非常喜欢荷花，认为它是高 洁的象征。摄影师们也爱拍荷花。 他们拍出了很多好看的荷叶照片。 在这种情况下，要拍出新意就不那 么容易了。在这幅作品的后期处理 过程中，我把几张各具优美形状和 曲线的荷叶错落有致地组合在一起， 形成一种律动的感觉， 并通过水墨 效果的晕染去体现中国人对荷的特 殊感情。 Chinese people are very fond of lotuses and consider them a symbol of purity; naturally, photographers love to take photos of them. As there are so many beautiful lotus photos are out there, it takes effort to make a unique one. In this photo, I combined several lotus leaves with beautiful shapes and curves and organized them in a rhythmical pattern in post-processing. To reflect Chinese people's special affection for the lotus, I applied a Chinese ink painting effect to finish up this work. 水 墨 荷叶 INK LOTUS LEAF By Feng Chai Nikon D810 70-200mm f/2.8 Aperture f/5.6 Shutter Speed 1/400 ISO 200 28

CREATIVE DAVID AT RINGLING MUSEUM By Sheena Gu 编辑评语:摄影师应用双重曝光技 术创造出了一幅独特有趣的照片。 放在下面的人脸照片起到了抓人 眼球的作用，放在上面的抽象艺 术照片给这个作品增加一层神秘 感。两张照片的选择和重叠的位 置体现了作者的用心和巧思。 Editor’s Comments: The photographer applied the double exposure technique here to create a unique and interesting art photo. The human face serves as an eye-catcher, while the abstract art on the top adds a layer of mystery to this work. The choice of the two photos and their overlapping positions reflects the author's intentions and ingenuity. Combined two art items while visiting Ringling museum.

CREATIVE 时光隧道 By Ann Fong iPhone 7 Plus 时光流逝的速度 编辑评语: ：几何图案是创意摄影 常用的元素。摄影师敏锐地捕捉 到的这些重复出现的圆环并在后 期做了黑白处理。在黑色背景的 衬托下，白色的圆环由大到小的 排列造成了一种似乎可以把观众 带到时间另一端的透视感! Editor’s Comments: Patterns are key elements of creative photography. In this example, the photographer sensitively captures recurring circles and converts them to black and white in post-processing. Against the black background, the arrangement of these white circles from large to small, creates a sense of perspective that seems to take the viewer to the other side of time. 30

DOCUMENTARY 编辑评语: 疫情期間，朋友之間 的見面都改變了禮儀，以碰手肘 取代了親密的握手，在疫情沒有 發生前好像從來沒有用這種交流 的動作。可以說這個碰手肘的動 作是新冠疫情的一個象徵動作。 諷刺的是照片主角的男士雖然因 為顧慮到安全避免了握手，但卻 又不戴口罩，反而照片右邊的女 士卻戴上了口罩，可能這個就是 攝影師想要諷刺的一筆。 Editor’s Comments: During the COVID-19 pandemic, the etiquette for meeting friends changed. In this instance, we see the intimacy of the handshake replaced with elbow bumps, something rarely (if ever) used in the past; it could be said that these elbow bumps are a symbolic action of the coronavirus pandemic. Ironically, although the man in the photo is avoiding a handshake for safety reasons, he is not wearing a mask! Maybe the photographer wanted to satirize this.

With the background of the church and the slanted light, the artistic concept is quite interesting. It's a pity that the photos don't represent the pandemic period very well. 33
