Photo Master-class(攝影專家課)


              After three such exciting and memorable days, we can’t guess what we will do on Sunday, the 19th. And we were really surprised when we learnt that we will have Photo Master-class. I can’t even imagine myself that I will join such an event in Dasyueshan.
If you have any hesitations about the connection of this class with our work, I want to say, that one of our major duties is writing the blog about our work and presenting Dasyueshan beauty. I don’t think that words can express everything and show all that we wanted to say.
To tell the truth, as for me none of the words, photos, videos or masterpieces can show the real beauty of nature. You need to see it with your own eyes, hear it, smell and feel with your skin.
But as we can’t visit all the places in the world and can be only in one place in a moment, we need to share our emotions and thoughts with other people, show them the nature of Da Syue Mountains and here we need all our skills of making photos.
I never thought I’m a good photographer – moreover I am sure my skills are much to be desired. I don’t have a good camera. Yeah, I know that camera is not everything and personal skills of the photographer plays much more important role, but good camera can help people to make beautiful photos easier.
But let’s stick to the point. We were led by teacher Yao – not only a tour guide in Dasyueshan, but also a good photographer. He explained us, that the best time of making photos in Dasyueshan is morning – from the dawn till afternoon.
Sure, it is… most of the time in the afternoon there is very misty and sometimes rainy weather. It will bring some mystery, gothic gloom and triumph in your photos.
But our aim is to show nature, life and bright, sunny forest.
We started our course with making a panorama picture which later we will edit in Photoshop. The morning was so clear, so we can easily see the valley of tremendous blue mountains spread in all directions till the horizon. I can really look at this view forever, but we needed to go.
Teacher tells us lots about making pictures of the buildings – how to show them from the best side, what to focus on and what to avoid, how to keen the horizon line and etc.
Later we went to the Small Devine Tree trail and our exact class starts.
In making pictures of the trees you need to remember some very important points.
- Avoid bright light

經過三天有趣又有紀念性的三天,我們不知道禮拜天,19th當天應該要做什麽工作了。我們很驚訝當我們知道我們會有一個攝影修圖課。我無法想像我會在大雪山參加這樣的活動。
如果您對這堂課有任何疑惑,我想說這堂課對我們打部落格有很大的幫助。沒有了照片的襯托,只有言語是無法表達一切。
可是老實說,單是照片、影片是無法呈現大自然的美。您還是需要用五官去感受她的美。
我們需要與大家分享大雪山的美,而攝影技巧是非常重要的。
我從來不覺得自己是一個很優秀的攝影家。我知道好的相機不代表一切而個人技巧還是扮演着較重要的角色,可是好的單眼相機還是能幫忙拍出更漂亮的圖片。
回歸正題,這堂課是姚老師帶我們的他不只是是個解說老師,也是一個很厲害的攝影家。他告訴我們最佳拍攝時間是早晨。
下午通常都起霧又下雨,會為照片帶來朦朧、詭異的氣氛。
我們的目的是要呈現大自然陽光生氣的一面
我們開始了我們課程。我們先拍了一幅全景圖,待會兒會用Photoshop來修飾他。早晨格外清晰,我們可以很不費力就看到峽谷山巒延伸在天際間。我可以永遠觀賞這景觀,可是時間不允許啊!

老師教了我們要怎麼拍好建築物的照片要怎麼呈現最好的角度,避免哪一個角度,專注在哪個臨界線上等等技巧。
過後我們就到小神木步道開始了真正的攝影課。
在拍攝樹林的照片時,一定要記住幾個重點。

---避免強光

- Do not cut trees, brunches and so on that are on the side and backgrounds
-不要切掉樹枝及附近背景


- Try to focus either on its giant or on the expression of life.
-盡量注重在巨樹及生命的表達上。


As for the photos of trails, here are some advices:
- Try to make pictures of the trails from the side, so one will see distance projection
-盡力避免正面拍攝步道,要從旁邊拍攝步道


- Avoid cutting both stairs and all kind of side and background things
-避免切掉階梯及附近背景


- Trails and stairs need space either in the ground or in the sky
-拍攝階梯步道要留些空間


- Avoid much light
-避免曝光


After our short walk, we returned to the Visitor Center and concentrated on Photoshop that helps us to make a panorama view.
Here you can see, what we with the great help of teacher Yu get in the end.

我們回到遊客中心後就開始著手於Photoshop修圖上。
您可看到我們在姚老師幫忙下的傑作。
 


We still have lots of things to work on, but I’m sure we achieve some good results.
後續工作還等著我們,我們一定做得更好。
