針孔相機翻譯與solargrphy(日軌影像)

這些是大家在針孔相機workshop,使用各種不同的針孔相機,所照出的影像。謝謝蘑菇把這些影像掃描出來與大家分享。

Hello Everyone,

I would like to thank all of you for spending a beautiful Sunday afternoon with me

participating in the Pinhole Camera Workshop.


As with every workshop, we never have enough time to cover all of the information

and Sunday was no exception.

I was very pleased to see all of you experimenting and trying different things.

That’s what learning is all about and I was happy to see that none of you were

afraid to try something knowing that it may not turn out well.

Even though we spent five hours together, I didn’t get a chance to share the resources

with you. So, I’m attaching the links for you to check out.

If you have a specific question that you can’t find, please email me and I will do my best to get you the answer.

There is a lot of information out there, but please consider how you can make it

more personal to you.

Don’t worry about how beautiful your pictures will look.

Take pictures for yourself first, by imagining that nobody else will see these pictures for a long time. Perhaps maybe never.

Taking pictures of what you care about and how you feel is a good start.

As with everything in life, there should be a balance.

If you only like to have fun with your camera, think about what else you can do

and say with that powerful tool.

If you are very serious about photography, learn the technical stuff but don’t let the

technic be the most impressing feature of the picture.

Think about how you can share your passion by exchanging resources.

And, encourage others to say what they believe in to make changes for the better.

Also, I would like to ask all of you for a favor by giving me some feed back about the workshop. Please let me know how I can make the workshop better.

Get more organized? more resources? more references of other photographers?

more technical info???

Finally, please let me know what other kinds of photography related workshops you are interested in, so that we can meet again to share and have fun.

Cheers,

Syko

Hi 大家,

我想要先謝謝大家在美麗的星期日下午,和我一起分享針孔相機的工作坊,但是永遠不夠用的時間,似乎已經成了每一個workshop的定律。

我其實很高興看到,大家都興致勃勃的嘗試著不同的東西,並不擔心因為不知道影像結果如何而卻步,這就是學習的樂趣啊。

雖然這個workshop花了我們五個鐘頭,但是我仍然沒有足夠的時間,與大家分享我想分享的資源。我把針孔相機的一些連結附上,大家有空可以去看看。還有如果大家有甚麼問題,也很歡迎email給我,我也將竭盡所知來回答。(針孔相機的連結請見上篇文章)

網路上與書本裡,可以收集到的資訊是浩瀚無窮的,如果可以的話,把這些資訊變成可以為己所用。

在拍針孔相機前,請先不要擔心你的影像將會漂不漂亮。如果可以的話,先假想或許你的影像,在短時間內根本不會讓別人看,或者是壓根就不會。把你真真在乎的東西拍下來,或是把你的感受拍下來,是一個很好的開始。

就好像我們生命裡遇到的每一件事,我們總是在找尋所謂的平衡點。如果你只是純粹的喜歡玩相機,或許可以想想如何運用這個有利的工具,來表達你想說和想做的。如果你是一個攝影技巧的熱中份子,學習這些技術層面的東西,但是請不要讓純粹技術的表現,超越了你影像的真意。

想想看我們能如何分享熱情與資源互助,同時也可以相互激勵,有所改變並更美好。

我想要請大家給我一些些回應,關於這個workshop,我要怎麼樣才能做得更好。我應該組織得更嚴謹一些嗎?我該給大家更多的資料嗎?或是更多其他攝影師的介紹?還是cover更多技術面的東西呢?

最後,我也要請大家讓我知道,還有哪一些攝影的workshop是你有興趣的,或許我們可以再集合起來,好好的來玩攝影。

Cheers

Syko

()Solargraphy:日軌影像 (字典裡沒有這個字,我只是把意思翻出來)

這是上一篇貼的連結之一,我們覺得非常有趣,想多做解是和大家分享。利用針孔相機的原理,照出太陽的軌道。

基本上,這是一個在芬蘭赫爾辛基藝術與設計大學裡,其中一位曾在那裡攻讀博士學位的學生(Traja Trygg)project,後來演變成了全球有更多人的加入。台灣,目前還沒有人參與,這是一個好機會。

這是我選取了北加州大家拍的日軌影像,圖中天空的白線條,是太陽做畫的藝術。

http://www.solargraphy.com/index.php?continent_id=4&country_id=0&city=0&year=0&assistant=0&id=&Itemid=23&option=com_sol_search&task=result

做法:

你只要,有簡單的針孔相機,相紙(要先在暗的地方裝進去相機裡),黑膠帶,鐵絲,掃瞄機,和類似photoshop之類的軟體。

很簡單,把相紙裝進相機,用黑膠帶貼住針孔,把你的針孔相機找個好家,不要讓人家以為是不要用的垃圾丟了。撕開貼於針孔處的黑膠帶,用鐵絲固定個幾個月甚至半年一年。在你某一天路過時,取回你的影像,請千萬不要拿去沖洗。回到家後趕快把他 scan進去,就有一張很棒的solargraph 了。(你一定要趕快scan,在燈光下,你的影像會越來越深,然後就,不 ‧見‧了)

最好,可以一次多放幾個點,紀錄地點與經緯度、放置與收取的日期、使用的相片種類等等。

或許哪一天,大家陸續把影像先傳給我們,哪一天,porque base再來辦個展。
