摄影入门 l DSLR Photography Basics:您的相机其实可以给您更多


部落格一向偏向介绍吃喝玩乐的我,一般很少人模人样的说话,但今天将是个例外,和大家稍微分享一下个人的一个小爱好——摄影 ;) 话说近年来由于相机的价位日渐亲民,DSLR也已经从专业摄影界跨足民间,然而许多人对这一黑黝黝而且特别重的机器却抱持着一大误解并过度神化,认为DSLR好比屠龙宝刀,手持宝刀便可成为武林至尊,一统江湖拍遍天下无敌手..于是大家都怀抱靓丽的梦想,即使拼着让荷包稍微失血仍吃了秤砣铁了心的下手购买那心目中神一般的单反,期盼这一神器可将自己拍摄照片的美观度大大升级,甚至一举达到自己看了好久却从来拍不出的专业摄影作品之水准,从此人家羡慕自己开心皆大欢喜.. 那么问题就来了.. 如果一台单反便可让人轻易的达到如此水准,那么摄影师这个职业基本上便该要去喝西北风了呗? 现实是,专业摄影师的作品依然美丽,而购买了DSLR的你,除了出门时需要背个较大的包包拍照时感觉相机有点重之外照片依旧如故,没有神一般的升级,只有梦想落空的空虚.. 当然一些人可能觉得是所购买的DSLR是入门级的,不够贵所以不够好(*相信我这真的是一个很可怕的想法),但换个角度思考,或许一台好相机是拍摄好照片的好帮手,但这还必须搭配其他的元素,比如说好的设定,好的构图,听起来似乎较为合理不是吗 ;)

在摄影新手而言,当你因为DSLR达不到你的要求而生气失望的时候,其实问题很有可能是出在你的身上,毕竟我看过好些相机被人糟蹋的情况,却从来没听说过有人被相机糟,再说我也曾经是个菜鸟,相信我 你的感受我懂的 XD Anyway言归正传,在这里和大家分享一些入门级的摄影新手小知识,了解这些基本后你将会发现DSLR其实真的超好用的,你之所以不曾爱上它只因为你不曾了解它,朝升级之路迈进吧小伙伴们 ;)


单反、风景、摄影:你的相机其实可以给您更多 ^^

首先先与单反来个ice-breaking 认识认识吧 ;) DSLR- Digital Single Lens Reflex指的是单镜头反光数码相机系统,其特点相机内的反光镜和棱镜设计可让使用者从取景器中直接观察到过镜头里的影像,其优势在于完全透过镜头对焦拍摄,拍摄者在观景窗中所看到的影像和最终拍摄的照片将是一致的。除此之外DSLR另一特点是相机可以更换不同规格的镜头以适应不同拍摄需求以达到最佳拍摄效果.. 当然近年兴起的EVILElectronic Viewfinder Interchangeable Lens)相机亦可随意更换不同规格的镜头,但不同于DSLR透过取景器拍摄,EVIL为了使相机更轻盈而采用了電子觀景窗(*也就是俗称的LCD screen)取景,因此偶尔会有時間遲滯及银幕噪音的問題,毕竟取景器依靠的是人类的眼睛,若你不晓得,那可是相当于一部像素高达5.76亿并且可在几乎任何情况快速对焦并且永不跑焦的超级相机哦 ;)

了解了DSLR后接下来便是一些初学摄影必须注意的知识啦,在这里讲和大家聊聊光圈aperture/f)、快门shutter speedISO白平衡(White balance)的基本概念及运用 ^^


单反、美食、摄影:你的相机其实可以给您更多 ^^

光圈一般以f/为代表,大光圈(例:f/1.4;数值与光圈成反比,数值越大代表光圈越小)将带出浅景深的效果,一般适用于拍摄人像/特写等突出主体模糊背景的照片,相反小光圈(例:f/32)则会有深景深的效果,一般适用于拍摄风景等要求全景清晰的照片。


光圈与人像摄影
光圈设定与景深

快门分为高速快门(例:1/500秒)与慢速快门(例:30秒),慢速快门结合脚架一般用于拍出残影,光轨,絲絹流水等特別效果。高速快门则一般用于冻结移动中的主体,譬如运动项目或奔跑中的宠物拍摄等。

快门设定

ISO为感光度,一般光线充足情况下摄影建议使用低ISO值(ISO<1600)以降低噪讯,但在光线不足或高快門时候则需调高ISO值以获得足够曝光。


ISO值与设定

白平衡,光线是由不同颜色所组成的,一般在摄影里不同的色溫将带出不同的效果,而白平衡的作用便是调色温啦,根据拍摄的灯光环境调到适当的白平衡(光管、夕陽、燈泡、阴天等或较专业的K数;),让相机了解光源/那一種顏色才是白色,便可避免相机拍出看起来黄黄的照片/加强照片感染力。

白平衡与设定
色温与K值

结语:以上四个元素,Aperture、Shutter、ISO、WB便是新手上路需了解的基本啦,参照图解掌握这些基本技巧的使用后,再训练自己熟悉不同角度及对焦点的拍摄,随着学习时间增加便可让自己的摄影技术慢慢提升啦 ;)

Going all the way north to Ipoh through the North-South Expressway would be too boring, so we decided to take an alternative scenic route instead, nice view at Bukit Tagar-Tanjung Malim country road ;) 
Performance of the new PETRONAS PRIMAX 95? So far so good b^^d
Auto enthusiasts joy ride with PETRONAS PRIMAX 95 on scenic route to Ipoh ^^

Test ride vehicle model: MyVi 1.3
PETRONAS PRIMAX 95 performance: full tank of petrol for the whole ride, no refill require, fuel efficiency indeed with significant improvement in terms of power. In short > an impressive thumbs up b^^d

The brand new PETRONAS PRIMAX 95 with Advanced Energy Formula was launched in May 2014 with three effective approaches to ensure superior fuel economy, that is to clean the engine for optimum fuel delivery, creates a finer fuel spray to enhance fuel combustion and energy release, and finally it reduces friction which subsequently minimize energy loss b^^d

Dream Trip to Macau: 5 Reasons to Visit Macau (and Stay for Awhile)


60 km West of Hong Kong and 145 km Southwest of Guangzhou lies the historical land of Macau, an amazing peninsula pulsating with life both night and day, a vibrant city with endless joyous indulgence awaiting to be discovered, a city which has been trending on ‘My Next Travel Destinations’ wish list since quite some time ago ;) 

Dream Trip to Macau: 5 Reasons to Visit Macau (and Stay for Awhile) ^^ #MGTO #NuffnangMY

Venture into the UNESCO World Heritage Site with over 20 ancient monuments at the Historic Centre of Macau, witness a dazzling live performance and heart pounding festivals across the modernized front of the city, indulge in great diverse range of scrumptious native cuisines across the streets, there’s just too many reasons why the vibrant city of Macau is where I fancy for on my next holiday getaway ^^ For more information on travelling to Macau, simply log-on to http://www.macautourism.gov.mo/


1. Being the first European settlement in the Far East back in the 1500’s, once colonized by the Portuguese and now became a Special Administrative Region (SAR) of China, Macau has carved out its own unique identity as a living testimony to the integration and co-existence of eastern and western cultures. Ruins of St. Paul’s (大三巴牌坊), A-Ma Temple (妈阁庙), Senado Square (议事亭前地), these are among the definite ‘MUST SEE’ places to be jot down on list ;)

2. Knowing as the city with two faces, Macau after dark is just the beginning of a dazzling smorgasbord of shows and evening delights. Head down to a world class visual and staging performance featuring stellar line-up of international and regional entertainers after a satisfying dinner is how you should end a day in Macau ^^

3. Macau festivities showcase a perfect blend of East meets West with its unique festival culture. Celebration continues all year long with a blend of traditional Chinese and Western festivals, not to forget the prestigious international events which held annually such as Macau International Fireworks Display Contest, Macau International Music Festival, Macau Food Festival, Macau Grand Prix etc. b^^d

4. If you’re one of those adventurous soul, awaiting in Macau is the World’s 10th tallest free-standing building——the 338 m tall Macau Tower where you get to enjoy a thrilling walk on the 223 m above the ground glass floor observation deck while overlooking the magnificent panoramic city’s skyline. And if walking on the edge doesn’t seems enough, feel free to JUMP off with the world’s highest bungee jump off the side with The AJ Hackett Macau Tower Bungy Jump (Guinness World Record holder for the Highest Commercial Bungy Jump in the world, 233 m / 764 ft high) O________O

5. No trip shall be complete without sampling the local delights. A trip to Macau will be incomplete without a taste of the one-of-its-kind Macanese menu, a mouth-watering fusion of Chinese, Portuguese and South Asian cuisines. Early morning native Cantonese dimsum at the Lung Wah Tea House (龍華茶樓) which operates for more than half a century, famous Pork Chop Bun at Tai Lei Loi Kei (大利來記), the must try Portuguese egg tarts at Lord Stow’s Bakery and Café, silken smooth Double Steamed Milk Pudding at Yee Shun Milk Company (义顺牛奶公司), street foods at its best at Wing Kee Beef Offal (荣记牛杂), traditional Portuguese delights at Antonio Restaurant ... and the list can go on and on and on~ Oh yeah foodies Macau is definitely a foodie's heaven :P

#NuffnangLovin' Presents Dialogue in the Dark @ The School jaya ONE


Hey guys so here’s something interesting that I would like to share about, its called ‘Dialogue in the Dark—— a special ‘Experiential Journey’ organized by Dialogue in the Dark Malaysia ;) The concept is simple, that is to offer a brand new experience for visitors to ‘see’ the world without the sense of sight, explore the world in complete darkness while learning to use our other senses in constructing the picture of our surroundings.

Dialogue in the Dark @ The School jaya ONE.

Thanks to the lovely invitation from NuffnangMY few of us bloggers were invited for a #NuffnangLovin ‘Dialogue in the Dark’ session. It was a truly fantastic experience where we were navigated through a series of specially constructed dark rooms with regulated settings to experience our daily environments with the absent of light, finding new way to make our way around before settled down for a unique dinner in complete darkness.

Some of you might starts to wonder how dark is “dark”? Well simply refer to the picture below to get an idea of how the environment looks like    ;)

Yup there’s nothing wrong with picture, and thats the answer to your question of how dark is “dark”?  basically.. its Darker than you could imagine, so go and find out for yourselves ;)

I would really love to show more pics of what we had during our dinner and some interesting dark rooms that we went through however as you can see there's literary no light and that means no visual, but let me assure you that Dialogue in the Dark is a safe, delightful and fun to have journey into the darkness, even though every scenes might 'looks' similar but each carries a distinctive character of their own.. with that I end my description and I'll leave the rest of the journey for you guys to explore it for yourself :P  

lovely folks from Dialogue in the Dark Malaysia, thank you for the warm hospitality :)

Dialogue in the Dark with the mission to raise awareness and create tolerance for "otherness" in the general public has been a great success as over the last 25 years it has been presented in more than 30 countries and 130 cities throughout the world since its opening in 1988 in Frankfurt, Germany. Offering a variety of programs ranging from business workshop to cuisine/birthday in the dark, Dialogue in the Dark Malaysia is a wonderful place that I would recommend for an experience beyond sight and limitations.
