Other takes during my "live music" photo journey

#4 is impressively taken.
#7 is also very good.

The last one is the best, but might need some more ps work.

Thanks, 阿搜! I was so depressed during the post processing that I actually stopped in the middle. after giving the depressing color tone to it, I could not work any further. Her voice and expression of her face kept coming back to my head, interfering my mind. I could not work any further. I will calm down a bit, pick another day to complete it.

First thing, first. I need to get my "live music" entry done. It is due very soon. and I have not yet found an exceptional photo for it. sigh... :(

yeah, I was pondering that too. However, there was no one posed for me. every one of them were taken without the target knowing though. I just wonder what exactly street photography mean? Anyhow, I don't care it much. I take photos the way I like. I am too liberal to follow rules, frames. :)

引用一段无忌上fromage泡菜的话:

" 想想我这人做事动机挺不良的,因为喜欢nike鞋打起了篮球;因为爱情练起了健身;为了浪漫选择了巴黎说起了法语。。。。。摄影吗,因为脑袋一热买了10d。虽然总是在做一些先上车后买票的唐突事情,但是好在都没有糟践感情和物质上的投资,一件件的也都做下去了。
开始的时候不能算摄影,最高的定位该是留影。夜景能给拍摄的不虚,我就能欣喜好一阵。再加上又是数码,按起快门来更无所顾及,eos单反机强大的功能,让我什么都感兴趣,什么想拍。结果怎么也找不到自己的感觉。慢慢的我意识到这样不能有进取的,更谈不上突破。开始去图书馆找资料和学校里摄影专业的朋友多请教,渐渐的开始喜欢和走上了欧洲摄影的风格。从简单的糖水风景,慢慢开始走向人文风格。从彩色慢慢进入了黑白。
今天9月,在一次拍摄过程中,遇到了大潮水,万般危险的情况下人背着机器游回了对岸。所有器材的损失换回了一条性命。丢失了数码单反,让我失落了很久。但是现在想想到是我摄影经历中一次很大的转折。。。我迈进了胶片的殿堂。
一款纵横了十多年的经典老机器,nikon f3。有缘分一样的来到了我的手中。和10d相比。在f3前,我瞬间变的不会摄影了,全手动,落后的功能。让我懊恼。记得头几卷,暴光,对焦都是问题,甚至拍摄过程中,经常忘了手动过卷。那个狼狈样子就别提了。
我是个喜欢较真的人,为了快速掌握他,我基本是机器不离手,练习手动对焦速度,甚至到了睡觉他都在我枕边。为了了解他的暴光,我连续3天凌晨起来拍摄夜景,并在拍摄后用笔记录好每张的数据。这样2个星期后。当我拿着片子给一位摄影系老师看时。他很惊讶我从数码到胶片,从自动到手动的适应速度。当然只有我知道这其中的辛苦。
F3的缺点,让我更加的冷静,让我能更专心。以前喜欢用长焦拍人文。觉得因为距离远,更省事,更自然。但是慢慢发现事情是正相反的。35mm,50mm的人文片红火了百年绝对是有道理的,因为要想在这样焦段里有好的构图和元素,你需要大大的走上去几步来靠近人和事物。这取代变焦而看似麻烦的几步,却是你真正靠近被摄主题内心灵魂的几步。这个靠近在人文里面是何等的重要啊。200mm拉过来的人文,一定要比50mm以下视角出来的片子干涩好几倍。而这进入内心的几步,却需要一个摄影师含盖了人性,哲学,美学,勇气很多方便的素质,而且是在瞬间迸发。因为你和被摄太近了,需要内心的沟通和共同的呼吸。
巴黎也许更适合黑白胶片。起码我是这样认为的,百年前,百年后,这里的街道依然。那种神秘看不透的氛围,更需要黑白摄影那剥离了纷乱妖娆,只有完美灰度的影调来表达。我很自然的又迷恋上了kodak tri-x400 和ilford delta100的感觉。这两种黑白胶片给了我更大的创作空间和灵感。
记得有个导演这样说过“电影应该是酒,哪怕只有一口,但它得是酒。。。“这句话给我的感慨很深,摄影的过程应该把葡萄酿成酒,而不能仅仅满足于做一杯又一杯的鲜榨葡萄汁。
巴黎的时光,让我正在用心的按照自己的感受去酿这杯酒。也许对于我,他真的就是一口,也是值得的。"

Thanks Agua for sharing this post. The author was very kind to share his own experience. It is good to see what and how other photographer's doing. I think it is ver good for him to switch to film for what he likes to do.

However, I will not be influenced, since I have a different opinion. I simply do not like "street photos" (that you and star has been doing). To me, this type of photos are boring. Luck of point of interest and punch. I have done some research on "Street photography", and I found it was not an art. (now, I understand why star insists photography was not an art.) It is mostly an number game, which you get one good shot out of one role of film. Even at this rate, you can consider yourself a successful street photographer. That was also why this type of photographers tend to have hundreds of film undeveloped. pressing shutter is way easier than develop them. :) It is a number game. I don't like that. most time, I imagine a photo before I press the shutter. It is my way of doing things. I have to know what I am doing. "street photos" does not fit in my personality. I like photos that has a main object. an object that catches people's eyes, at their first glance. simple and straight forward. It has to be punchy, or it will be deleted. In short, visual impact is what I was after. "Street photo" mostly lacks of it. Hardly a street photo (unless a really good one) catches my eyes. Also, photos with 35, 50mm tends to lose details and texture, which is another thing I hate.

I am not saying you guys are wrong by choosing this type of application. or your photos aren't great. Don't get me wrong. I was just saying "street photos" as a whole I disliked. However, I may take something that can be put into this category, since I don't limit myself. :)

By the way, since you have been pretty good to me, aka digging and posting those replies. :) I thought I should just throw in my advice for you to consider. Take or drop. "Be creative, never follow."
 
I see your point. End of the day, we are just having fun. Nobody can enforce us to do anything we dislike.
 
很喜欢最后一张,被主人公的眼神吸引住了,如果你能和主人公有些交流,我想会拍出更好的片子!
