從黑白去尋找自己, 透過菲林呈現出人與人之間的情懷 ( 黑白菲林攝影基礎班 )
攝影 (Photography), 字義上是由 光(Photo) 以及 描繪(Graphy) 組成，簡單點就是 “用光來繪畫 ” 。
回顧攝影的發展, 由初期只有黑白菲林拍攝，至後來彩色底片的面世，再到現今攝影數碼化的年代；科技發展一日千里，人們對攝影科技上的需求和依賴與日俱增，追求更高像素、更 豐富色彩、更便利的攝影模式……亦由於人們對色彩和便利的不斷追求，亦開始着重色彩管理多於光線控制, 甚至忽略這種最重要的攝影元素，使一些經典的傳統拍攝模式，特別是黑白菲林拍攝逐漸被人放棄及淡忘。
PASM Workshop 有幸邀請到客席導師陸藝揚 (Woody)主理。Woody 擁有多年黑白菲林\創作、拍攝及沖晒等的經驗，近年更連同多位知名人士舉辦黑白菲林攝影連展，好評如潮。課程提供一個平台給學員去，學習拍攝黑白菲林及欣 賞黑白攝影，讓學員由淺入深去認識黑白菲林攝影世界，幫助每位在攝影創作上的突破。
黑白菲林拍攝由於沒有色彩的搔擾，迫使攝影師全副精神投放於眼下的光影、對比與及線條上，從而間接地幫助攝影師拍出較高質的黑白照片。
課程導師: Woody Luk 陸藝揚, 影齡超過20年。94畢業於香港藝術中心攝影課程, 曾獲得香港專業攝影師公會亞洲攝影年獎-非專業組「銅獎」(2007)。並曾參與「 感覺中的感覺 」個人展覽 (1991),「3040」聯展 (1991), 「當代香港之視覺探索 ( 九七影情 )」(1990-1996), 由攝影世界主辦的「國際攝影交流博覽會」聯展 (2005), 及 光影會聯展(2009, 2010)及第1屆香港攝影節 2010主題展覽《光影情》。Woody 將於九月在奧海城”愛在大街小巷中找你”影展中展示出其大角咀糸列作品。
後言
現今身處的一個由快餐文化主導的社會，選餐要快、找位置要快、用膳要快、什麼都要快，就連作為興趣的攝影都不例外。現代攝影往往追求快和方便， 不看鏡頭的隨意拍、不經思考的玩攝，拍出來有深度、有意思、經得起時間沖擊的照片寮寮可數；再加上沒有底片和沖曬上的消費顧慮；拿起相機，按下快門，非常 容易便能得到影像；要是不喜歡，只要一個按扭就把影像刪除，重新拍照。有人說：從一堆垃圾中找出來好一點的垃圾，真的會是一幅自己稱心滿意、日後還可再拍 再改進的作品嗎？記者朋友需要運用快狠準勁的拍攝技巧而得到一張有生命有命題的作品；攝影愛好者需要運用細味品嚐的拍攝手法而得到一張有靈魂有主題的作 品。你有否想過，在攝影年賞中、在博物館內、在你與我的腦海中，最被經常用而又最普及的影像，是以單色或黑白顯示的嗎？那一種對時間的思念、對往日的懷 緬、對生命的張力、對死物的珍惜，單色的影像往往使人撇除色彩上的混淆，専注地品嚐作品中的人、物、事、時，在腦海中遊歷，從而得到城巿裡的一塊綠洲，享受一刻的寧靜。
你對菲林的印象是什麼？是在歲月中被淘汰的拍攝工具？是品味的象徵？是爺爺爸爸們留下的一筒膠卷垃圾？ 有人說：以菲林拍攝的特點在於所攝的影像不能立即在機背的顯示屏上看到；更有人說要花錢去買菲林、去沖、去曬、更要花多最少一個小時才看到到的成果實在太 不合乎成本效益。但你有否想過，就正正是那一種看不到、觸不到；要期待、要幻想，才能得到的一個影像，那一種懾人的浪漫、那一種少女的盼望實在令人廢寢忘 食，一直不停的鑽研下去。迴心一想，無論是狼吞虎嚥式，或是小心經營式的拍攝手法，你所要求的、你所得到的會是什麼？不加思考、重量不重質的集郵式攝影真 是你一直所追求和嚮往的嗎？而你上一次真正靜下來，認真、用心去感受和完全投入享受攝影又是何時？
你，想改變自己對攝影的態度嗎？ 想在技術上有所突破和進步嗎？那何不嘗試還原基本步，從黑白菲林攝影重新出發？黑白菲林攝影最引人入勝之處就是相片中不再存在色彩，只有光與暗。相片的感 覺不再受色彩的局限和影響。取而代之就是全靠光影的佈局來主宰相片的感覺和氣氛，為影像注入靈魂和生命。

In Search of the Best Portfolio App for Photographers
Most photographers have to agree that when it comes to showcasing their work, the iPad is indeed the most important way to get their work across to their clients. A good portfolio app is therefore the bread and butter app. When it comes to portolio apps on the iPad, Portfolio (US$9.99) not doubt is still one of the best available, it features -
- Customized branding for the app.
- Support for images, videos, and PDFs.
- Dropbox integration for loading in files.
- Lockable interface allowing the iPad to be passed along without exposing the management interface.
- Multiple galleries and the ability to hide unneeded galleries.
- Slideshows with configuration options for slide duration and soundtrack.
- Ratings and notes editable per image.
- Full screen viewing and browsing or partial screen with a thumbnail strip.
- Zoom in on details in imported photos.
- Comparison mode to bring up two photos at a time.
- Keyword tagging and the ability to filter by keywords and ratings.
- External display support through the VGA adapter or one of the other ones.
For us, the most important factor is how pictures are uploaded into the galleries and the ease to sync the galleries and this is where Portfolio shines.
Other notable apps includes -
