摄影和生活中的光和影

以下是化石和我日前在摄影坛有关“光和影”的讨论。
化石#369，老溜号, 不知也谈谈电影行不？昨晚出席了我们的那位48岁的仁兄花了五年制作的电影《Crooked Beauty》首发礼。我很喜欢他的电影里的 Shadow, 还有 flickering light too， 我看是表示了主人公的思考，像她停不了的脑袋在思考，是闪动的火花。您认为呢？ 看能有时间看看这[Trailer], let me know what do you think about?
很不幸，Ken 的大日子， 小女友要分手。 尽管在影片的酬谢名单里他将她的名字列在第一位， 她还是没出席他的首影礼。 她走了，说是我不能只活在你的阴影下。
老溜号#371，谢谢化石介绍《Crooked Beauty》。Based on what is shown in the Trailer, I would say that, photographically, it is certainly an interest film. I will not comment on the content except that Ken presents the story with a voice rather than the usual actions。This is something very intriguing to me, say the least. From photographic point of view, I think he has been extremely creative to use a large quantity of black-white images, very little colour. My understanding is that in order to achieve what he intended he needs to use contrast and motion to visually present the story, ie, contrasting light and shadow in the still images, using flying clouds, flowing water reflections and flashes to create the flickering light in the motion pictures. Together with the music, he created a mood which may represent the story-teller, and at the same time to condition the audiences’ perception too. It may not be everyone’s a cup of tea for everyday, but his creativity and taste are fully reflected by the film.
From an audience’s perspective, one may notice the shadow, while others may notice the light. I felt strongly about the coupling and contrasting the two. You would not fully get the effects if you take one away from the other.
Overall, the film is inspirational for using black-white images to present thoughts (still) and thinking (motion). In this sense, the visual presentation is much purer and more straightforward, and will be memorised more clearly by the audiences as the feature of the film. Colour and action, in this case, may be too ‘distractive’.
A few words on his personal life as you mentioned, it is a pity that his girl has left him on his success, but that what fame, sometime, does to people, doesn’t it? On the other hand, the girl is very brave and independent. I wish her the best of luck in her pursuing. In my case, I prefer to think that the light and shadow as a couple, one is the mirror of the other. Without light, no shadow; without shadow, light will not appear bright.
这段有关光和影的讨论触发了原创配乐影集《光影树林》和这篇相关博文《摄影和生活中的光和影》的创作。在影集中，几乎平行于地面柔暖夕阳为树林披上金黄色彩装，使劲松更显挺拔 (顺光，图1)。斑斓的光影把树木的质感和树林的层次尽显无遗，使平面的影像更具立体感 (侧光，图2)。随着太阳的快速西下，这种特定的景色持续时间是短暂的。

另外，有关光和影与立体视觉，见我在摄影坛#158帖《观察立体影像时的视觉幻觉》。
如果把颜色去掉，用黑白图像阐述光和影会更为直接了当。图3，4是两张《烛台》的镜像。每人对光和影的视觉敏感度不一样，有人重光(白色)，有人重影(黑色)。改变一下个人习惯的黑白视觉优势，在白色吸引你的图像上看看黑色的部分，在黑色吸引你的图像上看看白色的部分，你还从图3-4里看出什么？总之，黑白（光影）对比是互相的，缺一不可。

在人们现实生活中，光和影的含义是什么呐? 光与影可以是个人情感 (悲喜、哀乐、爱恨)的表达；可以是人的思考过程和随之产生的思想；也好似默契夫妻，彼此如镜像，形影不分离。光影只有同在，生活才更有质感和层次。

补充两个例子，近似的景物和光源的强度及角度，来说明“光和影”的辨证。图5。画面光为主，但强调的是地面光背景上的几道"拖长了"的树影；图6。画面影为主，但突出的是影中穿射的几束阳光。
