07 Pingyao Photography Festival has been closed for several months, and the characters on the screen shot on the streets of Pingyao, have been quietly "lying" in Apple's computer time to pay attention to the holidays, it was empty, sat down to aa re-look at, organize, gradually, these natural primitive state of physical and behavior, which reveals a fraction of the total when the discourse honest smile, which in ancient colored buildings have maintained their tolerant attitude of the ancient city of quiet people, deeply attractedmy line of sight, as if to take me back to the streets of Pingyao walking, cycling the case when ... ...

snapshot because the streets are not always keen to cut, so the total with a small pocket camera, before the play, when film is μ-II, and then later began to play digital the stronger it becomes of those portable digital cameras, such as Taiwan is now at hand which had been almost worn away the skin GX8.In short, the body out with a camera seems to feel very at ease, "where to go and see where to shoot where" the past few years has become a kind of photographic habits (even a little bit into the living habits of the).Therefore, recent visit to Pingyao is no exception, although because of their work, which several large photographic exhibition area, an exhibition of each works in almost every one must visit, scheduling relatively tense, but each time the "guest houses - Pavilion- Pavilion - guest houses "and was removed in the streets, or from time to time be able to see a lot of visual excitement to make their own scene, those who usually live and work in their own very difficult to meet people and things around, in Pingyao are constantly in my eyesshow, solidification, so "learning to walk while shooting, while car while shooting, while riding while filming" became the second of those days in Pingyao great pleasure (pleasure is the largest you can see so many of Pingyao, thea variety-style standard of photography).

saidThis moving of the shooting, even now with the LCD viewfinder of digital cameras, to children 8 through the viewfinder is the possibility of visit is also a little (unless it is equipped with an external extension of the LCD glasses furtively framing), so basicallyWhere to see where to click the shutter, and so I must mention the "blind shot" in the matter anymore.

and the "capture" the pursuit of a different kind of fast and accurate, "blind shooting" more time to reflect is a kind of intention is and ideas.When facing a scene that caused a time when their own interests, this impulse will be to stimulate a sense of what passed from the brain to the fingers grip the camera, relying on their own hands, tools falling into the well-known and driving slave, without lifting eyes for shootingstate, consciously perceived, turning the camera into the right position, at the right distance and the right moment, quickly pressing the shutter to achieve shot record.At this point the camera (lens) is really like is their eyes, in an unconventional perspective on the events around them, and then intercept the eternal moment into their memories.

To be able toto achieve such a desired and results most of the time, my camera are in the P files, flash is generally not open, White Balance Auto (I was almost late to retain only black and white images of gray), focusing also automatically, to ensure that as much as possibledelicate images, sensitivity generally consists of the ISO 64 or 100.Although the use of automatic light than too much light in some scenes can not properly be taken into consideration the light and shade, the results appear less Pu overexposure or regret, but the current maturity of the camera manufacturer's standard R \u0026 D, P files sufficient to meet most of thecircumstances of the shooting needs, while other automatic functions are essential to guarantee a decent picture generation.

At the same time, one with a certain wide-angle lens is very good, but I have also, when necessary, appropriate zoom attempts, in particular feel that they can no longer catch up with the impending moment away, only to rely on zoomdo to make up as much as possible, of course, because there is no viewfinder, the zoom is also a feel of the process, and cause "blind shot" screen composition probability of failure naturally rise.

the use of aframe a small portable models are on the streets "blind shot" of choice, so naturally it can be in the hands of the "walk and play with", change the control of different ways to achieve the parties to the shooting position.For example, the camera shake in the right hands the whole heart, with the thumb press the shutter (this action of the most effective, and can mainly be shooting themselves in front of banners, vertical banner behind the left side of banners and images); thumb tip resting shutter position, the first thumb2 with the remaining four fingers grip the camera (this action commonly used in the shooting and the right vertical banner banner in front of the screen); Qingnie body with the thumb and middle finger, arms drooping naturally, and even casual swing, in the index finger to press the shutter the moment still(This action commonly used in filming his picture on the right vertical banner); put his hands behind his right hand toward the camera grip, the thumb press the shutter (One can imagine, this is designed to shoot their own pictures behind the banner).These are, I go out on the streets "blind shooting" the commonly used "to influence" actually means a right-handed gesture of various transformations, but to meet the needs of most of the shooting.

Of course, as close as possible the main shoot is that we have known the laws, but also our common good that can shoot a decent picture of the intended behavior.In many complex environment, in order to highlight the main performance, close to the main body is the best technical means, however, for "blind shooting" is particularly important, especially in some difficult to confirm the results can not zoom when shooting in the distance, only to continue to rely onthe former is the "last word."Luckily, the "blind shooting" relatively easy to achieve the main approach, because there will be no common action, as raised eye-catching shot the camera, they were unmoved intake in most cases, even know that we are holding the camera will think that we aredoes not mean they want to relax themselves of.

With this very day conditions, for "blindfilm, "it was very beneficial to people, and in this share my usual means, no more than two categories:
first quietly approaching quietly leave, it seems" without anybody knowing it"the purpose of completion of filming and then hurry away feeling.Take the recent shooting on the streets of Pingyao, for example, the ancient city is small, but constantly run around in every booth was quite consumed endurance and stamina, so the last two days in Pingyao, I just rented a bike and walk through the town, so"Left hand handlebar, right hand pinch the camera," became the standard in my bike Pingyao action (does not seem safe Oh!, but is very good feeling).A lot of pictures here, It is on this ride, in the street in front of those people are completely unaware of when the shot go past (some images are also resulting in blurred images).

course, the mostCommon or walk, so relatively safe, while a lower road speed of more easily controlled shot.For example, much to see in front of One uncle carrying folding stool over, there is an aunt not far in front of fruit is sitting holding a foot of the wall side, in this small city, the neighborhood residents are so close, it is estimated theyknow each other, and so would definitely come to say hello to something, so I hurried steps, in their approach and began to exchange greetings, the Shoudi Xia thumb pressing the camera shutter, and then continue their journey.

The second is to join the ranks of being proactive to divert attention and to divert attention, in a natural atmosphere left image fusion.This move would have some difficulty in the beginning, after all, needs its own acts of intervention by the photographer, but as long as the entry point will be very easy to find the ease of.Chatted with each other before the shooting, scattered its attention, and then in a timely manner, naturally relax pressed their own hands, the camera shutter, and basically can be on target.

Here, Imove outside the city to see what the two old people playing chess scene, I ride through when stopped at the edge of seeing a few disks, have their own victory, and the scene is very harmonious, I do not plug a few hoursIf so that will begin to talk together, and even they have to let me have to kill one (with chess pieces and board under the checkers for the first time to see very interesting), Oh, of course, I could not bear to lose the opportunity to press the shutter, there is noaccept the invitation.In this way we talk and laugh while playing chess, I would quietly by the side of the shutter in four weeks, during the trip to watch the fun, three children have also been unwittingly incorporated into the lens ... I ... of course, and later two have found in my uncleshooting, and then simply generously pictures of, photo (this is not "blind shot" of), in which an uncle, when parting (human kings scholar) also a prime spot and write poetry gifts, ha!The whole process felt very happy.

Of course, sometimes walking in the street "blind shooting", the visual front, the camera has Chaozuo, right shot, and after all, "diversion" and techniques to good use.In short a "blind shooting" The starting point is to prevent those who have been proactive interference, the original state before the cameras to show, and authentic record of the screen.

With the above conditions, leaving the key technology for the last one alive - composition.Although "blind shooting" does not require shooting, but in the end is to shoot the screen, the composition is necessary, but not here at that time by shooting the eyes, but by the time of the "spiritual."This seems a little right, "Xuan Hu," But the fact is true.

earlierreferred to the "blind shooting" be careful that the intention is and ideas for the weapons in their hands to control the skill level will directly affect the "blind shot" and the success or failure, in which the largest is the relationship between "blind shooting" down the screen content is not her own originalwant to get.To get a good result, the camera lens to shoot a clear grasp of the scope of it is very necessary.How far is how much distance to shoot a scene, while the main screen can be in what position in a sports shooting the amount of the advance estimates, etc., are required in advance skilled.The actual shooting, although not harsh to 100% of the coverage ability, but if you can "cover" to live 70-80% of the screen, post on its capability of cutting up.


Of course, the tilt of the screen in the "blind shooting "often occur when this situation on the one hand and their own custom gestures dominate the camera on, there is a swing shooting did not stop the flight master the appropriateness of a relationship, but more often and burst shootingmotivations, such as the way they walked, suddenly felt the front of a screen, then go on by hand so Yi Shen, and at this time tilt the camera was in all likelihood, natural looks of the picture, "grievance is not straight."In accordance with the concept of conventional photography, often need to cut this scene, but sometimes do not have the heart to start with, the reasons for the imbalance is one such film seems to reflect more of a mood and atmosphere of the time.

In addition, there is a "blind shot" of the technique is worth recommending.We are all concerned about the general picture of an instant cure, but it can not simply be understood as "an event on a screen" concept, because the events is always movement, every moment will bring exciting at the same time before and after the great moments will be linkedshowing unexpected surprises.

like these two pictures, when riding a threeMotorcycles in front of Grandpa from the aunt's passing, I was captured in the more distant one moment: Aunt watching the uncle; in a few seconds after the uncle had been close to my position, which he began to haveAfter the mirror to see a view of the action, it seems interested in a look behind the situation, so I have another moment: Grandpa watching the Aunt.Grandpa Aunt their different expression profile before and after such a mapping, but I find quite interesting.

If time is relatively abundant, and sometimes see theto feel there will be a story scenario, we might stop in its tracks, "sit back and wait" and wait for the right people into the screen.Although this time may be a good location shooting, but in order not to cause those about to enter the scene of the protagonist's attention, or use "blind shot" more appropriate.But it's waiting for the official location filming, may wish to try shooting about, take a look at the scene on the screen in the suitability of the location and extent, and then you can very safely played to wait for the main characters enter the "designated" position press the shutter of the.

applied to a classical Chinese saying: "No him, only hand-cooked Dole."His hands played with the camera to the "heart" hand to "come in handy" with it, took to the streets "blind shot" do not have to sheer luck, and generally based on the Ba Jiufen continue to have a grasp, "blind shot" andfun and a sense of achievement will naturally reflected out.So, often new ones machine is not suitable for playing "blind shot", if the general performance and decent still images, then in the hands of the camera to play a long time, even if the old, and do not easily give up the (manufacturers saw this very miserable), my hands, and that Taiwan GX8 is this situation; Once the purchase of new aircraft, if he remained addicted to "blind shot", then suggested that we first thought they hand over in the street, look for child feels after being through the opening of eight new weapons.

on the "blind shooting" some technical summary on the self -talk so much of.Here I should say is: in the actual filming activities, the "blind shooting" is just one of a means, not only photographic technique, which is based on the actual circumstances of shooting to take a decisive action, the necessarytime, a combination of appropriate Taishou, fast shooting, making the camera in their hands to achieve the best shooting purposes.The measure of "blind shot" of the level, "blind shooting" concept more deeply, the light has a Lianshu a "proactive" craft also shows that the problem can not be the key, but also a "shadow" results.If the final "Shadow" allow ourselves to see the smiles and satisfaction, then the front of those "Chuanjiezouxiang's Scrapped" also valuable.

lookThe streets of Pingyao footage (a total of 100 pieces of finishing out), each one screen for each character, for me, there is a special kind of intimacy, although that is more short-term shooting and action, and theand is unrelated to most of the photo are (or were completely unaware of being proactive), but every one I can understand the circumstances out of time and feeling shooting.Particularly those who can form on the screen the exchange of self-awareness and self-allegorical figures derived from the instant the screen, it is every time I watch happily, eagerly looking forward to meet the street "blind shooting" good machine.

press the shutter before the try to figure out the psychological and physical close, press the shutter secretly after the joy and small achievements, and then there are home, in the computer for post-video transfer process and composition necessary amendments toAll of these are all reflected a kind of photographic process, pleasure, a joy after the first, (also) a little trace of artistic images are recorded with the mentality.
