@ 40206 Discussing Photography
A 我最近迷上了攝影。隨身總是帶著相機。
wǒ zuìjìn míshàng shàng le shèyǐng. suíshēn zǒngshì dài zhe xiāngjī.
I've been fascinated by photography recently. I always carry a camera around with me.
B 是嗎？攝影可是一門大學問。你是瞎拍還是正經在學習？
shì ma? shèyǐng kěshì yī mén dà xuéwèn. nǐ shì xiā pāi hái shì zhèngjing zài xuéxí?
Really? Photography encompass a huge body of knowledge. Are you doing it for fun or for real?
A 剛開始只是興趣。不過，我現在在認真研究。而且覺得越來越有趣。
gāng kāishǐ zhǐshì xìngqù. bùguò, wǒ xiànzài zài rènzhēn yánjiū. érqiě juéde yuèláiyuè yǒuqù.
It was out of interest at first. But I am studying it seriously now. The more I learn it, the more I find it interesting.
B 攝影有沒有什麼重要的規則？還是主要憑感覺？
shèyǐng yǒu méiyǒu shénme zhòngyào de guīzé? hái shì zhǔyào píng gǎnjué?
Are there any important rules in photography? Or is instinct primary?
A 感覺當然重要。但是一定要掌握一些基本的技巧。
gǎnjué dāngrán zhòngyào. dànshì yīdìng yào zhǎngwò yīxiē jīběn de jìqiǎo.
Instinct is important for sure. But you must learn some basic skills and techniques really well.
B 有哪些呢？
yǒu nǎxiē ne?
What are they?
A 最重要的有構圖，光線和器材。先說構圖，簡單地說就是通過取景器對景物有選擇地拍攝。方向、角度和距離是最主要的考慮因素。攝影中最常用的“黃金分割法”，就是通過一個公式化的比例來構圖。
zuì zhòngyāo de yǒu gòutú, guāngxiàn hé qìcái. xiān shuō gòutú, jiǎndān de shuō jiùshì tōngguò qǔjǐngqì duì jǐngwù yǒu xuǎnzé de pāishè. fāngxiàng, jiǎodù hé jùlí shì zuì zhǔyào de kǎolǜ yīnsù. shèyǐng zhōng zuì chángyòng de `` huángjīnfēngē fǎ" , jiùshì tōngguò yī ge gōngshìhuà de bǐlì lái gòutú.
The most principal ones are composition, lighting and equipment. Let's start with composition. To put it simply, it's about making selective shots through the viewfinder. Direction, angle, and distance are the key factors. The most commonly used method of the 'golden ratio' uses a formula to calculate proportion and make the final composition.
B 哦，原來如此。那麼光線呢？是不是也很講究？
é, yuánlái rúcǐ. nàme guāngxiàn ne? shì bu shì yě hěn jiǎngjiu?
I see. What about lighting? Is it also as complicated?
A 當然啦。攝影就是用光和景物來作畫。一般來說，光線分為主要三種，順光、逆光和側光。另外，從光質上來說，還有“硬光”、“軟光”之分。
dāngrán la. shèyǐng jiùshì yòng guāng hé jǐngwù lái zuòhuà. yībānláishuō, guāngxiàn fēnwéi zhǔyào sān zhǒng, shùnguāng, nìguāng hé cèguāng. lìngwài, cóng guāngzhì shàng lái shuō, hái yǒu `` yìngguāng" , ruǎnguāng" zhīfēn.
Absolutely. Photography is painting with light and objects. There are generally three types of light: front light, back light and side light. In addition, there are soft and hard light in terms of quality of light.
B 你還真專業，說得頭頭是道。專業攝影是不是都要用膠捲，不能用數碼相機？
nǐ hái zhēn zhuānyè, shuō de tóutóushìdào. zhuānyè shèyǐng shì bu shì dōu yào yòng jiāojuān, bùnéng yòng shùmǎxiāngjī?
You sound really professional with all your extensive knowledge. Is professional photography limited to using film? Can't you use a digital camera?
A 其實也不是說不能用。但是我覺得膠捲能更好地體現攝影樂趣。但是現在，專業的數碼相機也做得很好。比如說焦距，也能達到很精確的水平。
qíshí yě bù shì shuō bùnéng yòng. dànshì wǒ juéde jiāojuān néng gènghǎo de tǐxiàn shèyǐng lèqù. dànshì xiànzài, zhuānyè de shùmǎxiāngjī yě zuò de hěn hǎo. bǐrú shuō jiāojù, yě něng dádào hěn jīngquè de shuǐpíng.
It's not that you can't. But I find using film can really bring out the joy of photography. But now, a lot of digital cameras are very well-made. Take focal length for example - it's very precise.
B 我還聽說鏡頭是一筆大花費。那麼什麼鏡頭才算好？
wǒ hái tīngshuō jìngtóu shì yī bǐ dà huāfèi. nàme shénme jìngtóu cái suàn hǎo?
I've also heard that lenses are a big cost. What makes a good quality lens?
A 其實鏡頭分成許多不同的類型，以適合不同的拍攝需要。它是非常精密的技術。其實攝影本身也是如此。三言兩語說不清。你如果有興趣，我可以跟你細說。
qíshí jìngtóu fēnchéng xǔduō bùtóng de lèixíng, yǐ shìhé bùtóng de pāishè xūyào. tā shì fēicháng jīngmì de jìshù. qíshí shèyǐng běnshēn yě shì rúcǐ. sānyánliǎngyǔ shuōbùqīng. nǐ rúguǒ yǒu xìngqù, wǒ kěyǐ gēn nǐ xìshuō.
Actually there are many types of lenses for different uses. They are a very sophisticated work of art, like photography itself. You can't really get the full picture in just a few words. I can tell you in more details if you are interested.
