为课业忙得团团转,写少了许多,对不起。
近来遇见了一些让我感到无奈的事情,碰上形形色色的人。延续上一帖,还是离不开摄影。正式加入大学编辑团队的摄影部门。当然,搞摄影的不只有我一个,看法也有出入。在自我介绍的环节,其中一各女生好象说:
“对photoshop不熟悉,不喜欢edit自己的照片”
我这样一听,心想:大概又是一个误会了科技和技术的运用是件见不得光的事了。老实说,我的作品多数都进过photoshop(PS),做几项简单的调整:亮度、除杂讯、crop、色调、镶框、签名。如果你认为这些步骤能够把垃圾变极品,你弄给我看,然后再跟大家宣布说这是你拍的并决口不提你没有修饰过,看你当晚睡得安稳吗。照片品质的优劣我懂得不多,也没有特定的指标,我更不敢说我有鉴赏的资格,但最起码我认为优劣不在于修饰过与否,在于摄影师想传达的讯息和取景的技巧。所以我从不隐瞒这事实,因为没有什么好丢人的。要追究也行,我愿意秀出原装版。
我明白拒绝运用科技的一群对他们自己的要求。要最原装的版本、最original的才算得上是好东西。没有人可以说你这样坚持是不对,我也觉得如果完全不修饰就能摆上台面,那更好不过。但是,你以为每次都能这么幸运,曝光、杂讯、时机样样都顺你意吗?别傻了,不要说你只取用最原装的。如果是吃这行的饭,你这样可以准备饿死了。你总要交货的,要是张张都在你能接受的水平之下,这时也只能求科技了。非职业性的摄影者,你也一样会损失大部分被归类为烂的好照片。
很多人都没察觉其实用PS和用数码相机的原理是一样的。若是要挑衅,我也可以说用数码相机的你和用PS的人一样“自欺欺人”,因为菲霖相机才是最终极“原装”版相片的来源。数码相机可以重复狂拍,可以即时查看。这样讲,数码相机,算什么?所以,别把原装版看得太高尚,更不要把PS神化,它能做的也只有那一点丁。没有所谓“最好的方法”,只有“最好的成品”
修饰,是为了释放照片的潜能;过分的修饰,是欺骗,归为“Photomanipulation”才恰当。我要强调的,不是“修饰”有没有错,而是现在都什么世纪了,继续地刚愎自用又何苦呢?科技让我们有选择的余地,只要适度运用,以前所不能的都可以做到了,别白白浪费了好作品。
我在为自己打圆场吗?随你。
谢谢夏娃的文章-不要把我神化
I have come across people trying to hint me in all sorts of way,saying that they think when photoshop is involve in the making of a photograph, it is consider as either fake or not original and should not be appreciated.
Honestly, I have been incorporating photoshop in most of my photos.I shall not explain about what are the things I do with my photos in PS, you fellow photographers out there know more than than I do and to what extend we use it to bring out the essences in our photographs.Some people who aren't into photography has this mentality where photographs today can be pulled out of the camera and be perfect enough to put onto the surface.When digital camera was not invented,hell yea, it's all original and not like you can do anything about it even if its not nice.Now that the technology is there, I simply don't understand why do people still refuse to look at the bright side that photoshop is used as a tool to perfect your results, not an evil monster to deceive viewers.
Don't get me wrong, I am definitely against excessive usage of photoshop.That can be considered as photomanip and it's also a form of art. What I mean excessive here is totally changing the original picture into something untrue.You CAN'T just deny the photo's originality when it only went through minor adjustments like brightness/contras,crop,frame,colour balance.It is very unfair to the photographer making such a remark to their photos and I personally feel very annoyed about that when being placed in the same category as what you think is fake.
And dude, if you can spot out flaws in fake photos, photoshop is merely a software/adjusting tool,not GOD.And if YOU can't make good photos, don't go all over telling other photographers that their work sucks because they used photoshop for adjustments and your photo don't turn out as good as them because you want to keep "originality". Stop being a mentally short-sighted freak and learn to view the issue from another perspective.
When every invitation to view my photos sent out is returned with insults and untrue remarks, instead of explaining, maybe I'll shut up and let them do the bickering. If the above is not clear enough to state my viewpoints, you can have it your way. As arrogant as I sound, I simply don't give a shit.
知道米虫是什么吗?除了是在米缸里爬来爬去的小虫,对我来说还有另一种意思。米虫吃人家的米,不是自己觅会来的米,毫不客气且没有一点丁感到羞耻地吃掉人家辛苦换来的米。我的辞典里,米虫可以用来形容一个在墨而本大学毕业出来后,仍在家里当少爷,需索无度地当伸手将军,继续成为父母的负担的王八蛋。在澳州念书时经常花钱在无谓的东西,搞得爸爸得成天为找钱供应败家子而烦恼。一而再在而三地,几乎每个月超支,从讲变劝,由劝变骂,毫无改变。花呀花呀,他妈的花得连他即将升学的妹妹也被拖累了。父母得告诉妹妹不要到她理想的中国去念四年,罗里八嗦一堆“舍不得经”,想要她去念个烂Twining,就只出国两年。妹妹清楚“钱不够用”多过“舍不得”,屁话连篇。但不能怪父母,只怨家里住了一只米虫。只会大大声得宣扬今天哪里的大大大公司叫他去应征,说他们自动向他要履历表,却从不听见真正找到请了他的公司。
米虫,是时候滚出去挣你要花在那些废物上的钱了,不要脸。
