買這本書前看了一些書評，有些人對這本書很反感，認為Sontag對攝影的批評太偏激，這反而令我更想懷著認同的心去看書。

因為我想認真去攝影，需要最嚴厲的批評，去癲覆目前膠著的狀態。

看到這幾句，正正揭露我沉迷拍照的底蘊:

The photographer is always trying to colonize new experiences or find new ways to look at familiar subjects — to fight against boredom. For boredom is just the reverse side of fascination: both depend on being outside rather than inside a situation, and one leads to the other.

裡面提及自殺身亡的攝影師Dianne Arbus，轉述她說：

One of the things I felt I suffered from as a kid, was that I never felt adversity. I was confined in a sense of unreality… And the sense of being immune was, ludicrous as it seems, a painful one.

ＳＯ　ＴＲＵＥ…

以下是我遊走街頭去”fight against boredom”時拍的東西…

“The essence of her charm, independent of time, revealed itself for a second in that gesture and dazzled me. I was strangely moved.” — from Immortality by Kundera.

so true… no matter she is old…

or she is young…

or she is not even human…

流水撞落石頭一刻，太快了，索性用連環快拍，隨便捕捉，這幅出來像個水太陽…　涼快地澎湃，但同樣不由自已…

using quick burnt to capture splash of water on rock.  One shot looks like surface of the sun.  rumbling and drifting…

Photo note: 想把水珠的動作拍下，幾經實驗，選了1/1600 快門(再多太暗)，ISO 400(再高雜訊會太多), f 5.2(極限了）, 再把爆光加2級 (最多了）抵銷不夠光，出了這個效果(而且拍彩色也像黑白，便索性選 B&W mode)，回家再用photoshop彌補傻瓜機的不足，用super B&W action script 令黑白更分明, 也把完全沒做後期的另一張相給大家對照一下：

傻瓜機好玩之處，是在限制中找尋變奏，去撞出一點意想不到；而輕便也帶來即興的更大可能性。

這也是我一直不肯「長進」換ＤＳＲＬ的原因。

雖然不時心很癢…

Quick snapshots under mosquito attack… still an enjoyable shoot, thanks to Sony HX1 560mm zoom!

Update: can’t be defeated by mosquito, i revisited the park again and take more lotus shots… pity that still haven’t got enough time to visit the birds…

近來工作真的太悶了，不搞些東西玩，會發神經啦！
by capturing boredom of others, i’ve forgotten mine…

好彩ＦＵＪＩ九月底還會推出３Ｄ相機，陸續有新東西玩！

一直覺得 Lomo 相機出來的效果很好，但礙於是 film camera 而沒有買來玩，今早手痕在網上搜尋好一會，最初找尋教用 Photoshop 弄出這個效果的辦法，後來發現可以用 action script 更方便，再 search，果然已有高手做好 lomo action script，download 後 double click 就會自動 load 到 photoshop 的 action box 內，只要一按 play，就做出 lomo 效果。網上有不同版本的lomo actions，不可以說那個最好，要因應相片拍攝的光線、顏色和 mood 來選。

另外，這個 The Ultimate Collection of Useful Photoshop Actions 更是集大成，還有 vintage, velvia… 等等交果，當中我覺得Photography Action Set最好，有齊以下效果:

真是什麼人都變成大師啦。
