Opportunities to shoot this kind of moment, the roof of the world basking in golden sunlight, are extraordinarily rare. This was shot from more than 100 kilometers away from the main peak, but this photo has a very high image quality that showcases the superiority of the photographer’s equipment and technique. Furthermore, their post-production control of light and shadow, color, and composition are nuanced and sophisticated, producing the perfect atmosphere by additionally darkening the mountains in the foreground with a gradation of gray. 珠 穆 朗 玛 峰 EVEREST By Hong Zuo 左 红 珠穆朗玛峰在所有8000米以上的山峰海洋中脱颖而出。 Everest stands out in the ocean of mountains all above 8000 meters. 50

The way the photo is framed means it could be two kinds of photo: a scenery photo the way it is, or an environmental portrait if she was facing the camera. This shot reflects the photographer’s creative sensitivity and her control of the picture’s reality. The brightness of the colors and the contrast between light and shadow are both used skillfully to make the subject stand out. To be improved: If the girl took two steps deeper, the composition could be more harmonious. 52

LANDSCAPE Editor's comment I really like this work; its unorthodox nature makes this kind of shot difficult to achieve, but this photographer did a very good job capturing this moment. They were also able to produce a mysterious wonderland effect without dark tone processing, a fashionable tool in dark landscape photography in recent years. Through smart framing, the use of a deep foreground plus appropriate exposure, the photographer created a dream-like effect, and surprisingly used a high tone to achieve it. When also considering the natural light, elegant colors, and disregard for the natural landscape photography routine, this photographer has accomplished the seemingly impossible and has given us a lot of inspiration for future landscape photography. 听 帘 HEARING THE FALLS By David Hu F8 0.5s ISO 200 at 24mm 编辑评语 本人非常喜欢的一张作品,最大的优点就是没 构图,运用深远前景加上合理的曝光来创造梦幻效果,竟 有风光摄影的套路思维模式,不在日出日落的时候拍摄的 然用高调来达到神秘,这极其难能可贵,另外色彩自然清 照片一样非常优美,这已经很难达到了,作者还在不用暗 淡雅致,所有这些都跳出了风光摄影的套路,并出色的完 调处理的情况下照样产生神秘虚幻的仙境效果,一反近两 成了看似不可能的任务,给我们风光摄影师很多启迪。 年风光摄影一片漆黑的流行风,这张作品通过巧妙的取景 53

LANDSCAPE 相 约 雷 神 之 井 THOR'S WELL By Sam Song 编辑评语 著名摄影点的经典作品, 拍摄时机把握很好,准确的表现出雷 神之井的摄影精髓,色彩自然色调平 衡和谐。光影关系控制得当,不过仍 有精进余地。光芒控制略欠周到,拍 摄时间再晚一分钟,光圈设置再斟酌一 下也许就能控制住。 Editor’s comment A classic work of the famous photography spot, with good timing, accurate expression of the essence of Thor’s Well photography, natural color and tonal balance and harmony. The relationship between light and shadow is well controlled, but there is still room for refinement. The aperture setting could be more precisely controlled and the shooting time could be a minute later. 雷神之井 (Thor's Well) 是西海岸的著名风景点之一. 为了拍到雷神之井的最 Thor's Well is one of the famous scenic spots on the American West Coast.

LANDSCAPE 编辑评语 精确计算月亮落点进行拍摄, 照片给观众带领强烈的巧妙难得之感触。 月亮女神 By Jodie Chin 优点:风光摄影很少会出现如此高精度照 片,无论月亮还是自由女神像都极高清晰, Nikon D850 这个令人印象深刻,构图规矩。 纽约自由神像 很难说这照片哪里需要改善,只有一点希 望大家可以明白:巧不等于美,在东方文 化中巧只是中性字,目前大量摄影师在追 月亮这非常辛苦,希望大家在赶巧同时再 思考思考如何使月亮照片更美。 Editor's comment The photo was taken with the guide of a precise calculation of the moon's setting point, and the photo gives the viewer a strong sense of ingenuity and rarity. Landscape photography rarely comes with such high precision photos, both the moon and the Statue of Liberty are in extremely high definition, very impressive and well composed. It is hard to say where this photo needs to be improved, except one thing I hope we all can understand: coincidence is not the same as beauty. In the Eastern culture coincidence is only a neutral word; at present a large number of photographers are chasing a perfect moon shot which is hard work. I hope that everyone in the rush for coincidence would also think about how to make the moon photo more beautiful. 57

SuYun Ding 微距摄影 MACRO 编辑 导言 - Editor’s Words 丁 素云 微距摄影就是在近距离拍摄有关物体,并且可以得到比原实物大的 影像。普通的镜头都有相应的近摄放大功能,当被摄物微小如露珠, 小幼虫时,使用专门的微距镜头才能拍出高质素微距照片。 由于微距摄影特殊的放大功能,我们用它来展示肉眼不易察觉到的 微世界的奇妙细节。当我们欣赏一幅微距作品时,除了审视它的创 意、色彩、光线、构图、影调、拍摄时机等基本要素外,够微够清 则是先决因素。 Macro photography is about shooting objects at close range and getting an image larger than the original object. Ordinary lenses have a close-up magnification function, but when the subject is as small as a dewdrop, we use a special macro lens to take a high-quality macro photo. Due to the special magnification function of macro photography, we use it to show the wonderful details of the micro-world that are not easily perceived by the naked eye. When we appreciate a macro work, while we naturally examine its basic elements such as creativity, color, light, composition, tone, shot timing, etc., being clear is the decisive factor. By Suyun Ding 61

Under the camera, more than two dozen tiny baby stinkbugs that had just come out of their shells were crawling around, and the scene was quite chaotic. Twenty minutes later they finally found their respective places and quieted down — the state shown in the photo. Why were they already born and still staying by the empty shells? I uploaded the photo to Lightroom to take a closer look, and found that there was another one that did not come out of the shell yet. They were waiting patiently for their little brother! The Creator is so magical! When I shot the photo, I used the light and background to create a mysterious and beautiful scenery on the leaf. The lens was ultimately close, kept as parallel as possible to the shell area, and used manual focus to ensure the sharpness of each baby bug and egg shell. 62

MACRO WHAT’S FOR LUNCH By Cary Chu Canon EOS 5D Mark III, EF100mm f/2.8L Macro IS lens F6.3 1/200s ISO 1600 当我在拍摄蚂蚁时,这家伙进来了,就得到了这 张片子。 I was shooting ants. This guy came in and I got this shot. 编辑评语 片子的色彩清新明快,主题苍蝇红头 绿背纤毫毕现,摄影师的精准抓拍为观众呈现了 一幅赏心悦目的蝇花图。如果裁去前两排抢镜的 小花,也许会更加突显苍蝇的精致细节;白花部 分稍有过曝。 Editor’s comment The colors of the film are fresh and bright, and the fly’s red head and green back have lots of rich details. The photographer's accurate capture presents a pleasing picture of the fly for the audience. If the photographer included fewer white flowers in the shot, the delicate beauty of the fly may have been more prominent; additionally, the white flowers are somewhat overexposed. 63

However, the brightness of the area surrounding the “eye” may draw the viewer’s attention away from the subject; with post-processing, these highlights could be suppressed to help the viewer focus on the eye.

表演艺术摄影 Sam Song 编辑导言 Editor’s Words PERFORMING ARTS 表 演 艺 术 ( Performing Arts) 摄 影 包 括 舞 蹈 摄 影 , 花 样 滑 冰 摄 影 , 艺 术 体 操 摄 影等,其中舞蹈摄影最为常见。在舞蹈摄影中,可以是舞台舞蹈摄影, 也可以 是户外以及影棚舞蹈摄影。 舞 之 灵 SPIRIT OF DANCE By Sam Song Nikon D850 表 演 艺 术 ( Performing Arts) 摄 影 的 最 大 挑 战 是 要 在 表 演 的 动 态 中 抓 拍 到 演员或运动员表演的最美瞬间。 要做到这一点,不能指望碰运气,而是要不断 地刻苦学习和练习。一个好的表演艺术摄影师, 要了解你所拍摄的对象,懂所 拍的表演项目,如舞,滑冰和体操等, 懂音乐, 懂灯光,能够根据表演动作, 音乐和灯光的变化,预先判断最美瞬间的到来,做好抓拍那个最美瞬间的准备, 确保最美瞬间到来时,能够准确无误地抓拍到。就拿本组中二张舞台舞蹈片和 二张影棚舞蹈片来说,抓拍到恰到好处,如果早或晚一秒按快门,都不会达到 此片的理想效果。 Performing arts photography includes dance photography, figure skating photography, and artistic gymnastics photography, of which dance photography is the most common. Dance photography can range from stage dance photography to outdoor and studio dance photography. The biggest challenge in performing arts photography is to capture the most beautiful moments of an actor or athlete's performance during the dynamics of the performance. To do this, you can't expect to get lucky, but rather to learn and practice hard. A good performing arts photographer understands the subjects they are shooting, the performance items - such as dance, skating and gymnastics, etc. - the music, the lighting, music and lighting changes, and pre-judging the most beautiful moment so they can be ready to accurately capture the moment. Take the two stage dance photos and two studio dance photos in this group: the capture moment is just right. If the shutter was pressed a second earlier or later, it would not have achieved the desired effect. 65

PERFORMING ART 足尖上的流光溢彩 THE GLOW ON THE TOES By Sam Song Nikon D850 芭蕾舞一个重要的特征就是女演员要穿上特 制的足尖鞋,并用脚尖立地舞蹈,因此芭蕾 舞又被称为“足尖舞“。本片展示了芭蕾演 员模特弹跳空中劈叉,体轻如风,机敏如飞, 蹁跹飘逸,优美无比的芭蕾舞姿。 An important feature of high-level ballet is the special shoes that ballerinas wear that allow them to dance on their toes, which are known as “pointe shoes.” This photo shows a ballerina doing a grande jeté, as agile as if she were flying. 66

Benjamin Chueng 人像摄影 PORTRAIT 编辑 导言 - Editor’s Words 張筱羲 人像摄影的目的是不仅要捕捉一个人的外表,而且要捕捉 他的个性。人像摄影应该讲述一个人的故事,必须要准确描绘 他们。光线对人像摄影非常重要;某些设置可以增强某些身体 特征,创造某种氛围,或突出某人脸上的情绪。在这种形式下 ,背景通常不太被强调。虽然可以添加元素来表达主体的某些 东西,但其主要目的是为主体创造一个合适的背景。然而,环 境人像摄影的背景在环境人像摄影中更为重要,因为它的重点 是捕捉环境中的人物形象。由于有必要在照片中说明被摄者的 生活氛围,因此要使用更具体的背景。 The aim of portrait photography is to capture not only the appearance of a person, but also their personality. Portraits should tell a person’s story, and care must be taken to portray them accurately. Lighting is of particular importance to portraits; certain setups can enhance certain physical characteristics, create a certain mood, or accentuate the emotions on someone’s face. In this format, backdrops typically are less emphasized. While elements can be added to express certain things about the subject, their main purpose is to create a suitable background for the subject. However, backdrops are more important in environmental portrait photography, which focuses on capturing images of people in the environment. Since it is necessary to illustrate the subject’s lifestyle in the photo, more specific backgrounds should be used. By Benjamin Cheung 69

PORTRAIT 虔诚 By Sam Song Nikon D850, F7.1 1/200s ISO200 为了表达主题,本片采用了黑背景低调侧逆 光拍法,把环境置于大片黑暗中以表现神秘 感,用一束光打亮祈祷者捧香的手,烟以及 的祈祷者轮廓, 借此突出主体和虔诚的主题。 编辑评语 采光素描出來的线条,袅袅轻烟的柔再加上 彩羽悬珠的艳,构成一幅漂亮的画面。 Editor’s comment The photographer skillfully sketched out a silhouette with light, and the tenderness of the smoke sings with the vivid feather and beads to put together a beautiful soothing picture. 70

PORTRAIT 编辑评语 构图的垂直线和斜向线处理得很好, 傢具中椅子的虛和沙发的实相互呼 应。 Editor’s comment In composition, the vertical lines and diagonal lines present a pleasant effect. The concreteness of the sofa at the front vs. the vagueness of the chair in the back provide a subtle contrast.

SPORTS 编辑评语 这个最后时刻抓得很好,有故事。 建议:尽量使用较高的快门速度 来定格主体和水的瞬间,这样一 切都会更清晰。 Editor’s comment A great catch at the final moment which tells a story.

Cary Chu 静物摄影 STILL LIFE 编辑导言 Editor’s Words -朱健雄 By Cary Chu 拍摄一些无生命物体的照片,称为静物摄影。 静物摄影可以细分为许多不同的类别,如桌面、食 品、产品等等。静物摄影的吸引力在于你可以在一 个非常小的可控空间内尝试构图、照明、主题、景 深和无限的创造力。 Still life photography is taking pictures of inanimate objects. This field of photography can be subdivided into many different categories, such as tabletop, food, products, and so on. The attraction of still life photography is that you can freely experiment with factors such as composition, lighting, subject, depth of field, giving photographers unlimited creativity in a small, controllable space. 83

STILL LIFE 编辑 评 语 静物摄影中最重要的事情之一是佈光。 最常见的方式之一是侧光。侧光产生 阴影,阴影产生立体感。这张照片使 用了这种方法。还有物品前后放置创 造了更多的立体感。光圈是正确的, 景深也恰到好处。一张非常好的照片。 Editor’s comment One of the most important things in still life photography is the lighting. One of the most common choices is the side light, creating shadows which give the photo a three- dimensional look. This photo shows just the right lighting. I thought the placement of the items was nice — they create some dimensionality. The aperture was correct and the depth of field was just right. All around, very good photo. 过去的时光 By Yun Thwaits 夏耘 Canon R5 F11 1/125s ISO100 前期构图、道具的选择,布光和色彩搭配,表达一种怀旧心情。 Pre-composition, choice of props, lighting and color matching, expressing a nostalgic mood。 84

STILL LIFE 编辑评语 简单而有力的照片。首先吸引我注意 的是那些叶子,然后是茶。这正是这 张照片的标题。枫沁茶香。把我的眼 睛从明亮带到黑暗,然后渐渐消失。 一个非常明智的布局。我可以建议的 几件小事是:大茶杯的白环确实有点 抢了我的注意力。还有就是把小茶杯 照亮一点。给它一点冲力。 Editor’s comment A simple but powerful photo. The leaves draw my attention first, then the tea, like the title suggests. Visually, the photo is very wisely laid out, bringing my eyes from light to dark before fading out. A minor thing I can suggest is to dim the inside rim of the teacup to help it blend in with the rest of the visual; additionally, you could light up the smaller cup of tea to give it some punch. 枫 沁 茶香 MAPLE AND TEA By Ann Fong Sony A7III F5.6 1/100s ISO auto 拍的时候是下午,外面天光尚有,开始变暗,茶具在离窗不远处,其质感色调在自然光侧逆光中与枫叶一起,和谐有趣。 后期有局部调光调色,突出枫叶。手持拍摄。 The photo was taken in the afternoon, there was still light outside, and it began to darken.
