50 Years Old Zeiss lenses I 五十歲的蔡司老鏡第1集

2006.7.14

Today was a typhoon day, with cloudy skies and a light drizzle. I had originally planned to take a day off to go somewhere further away to take photos, but I had to change my plans and head to the National Taiwan University campus to find some subjects to shoot. I took out my Vagolandar Bessa R2C and SC Skopar 21/4 lenses from my camera bag, and I also brought along a few of my Zeiss vintage lenses, which are over 50 years old.

今天是颱風天，天空陰陰的，而且有點飄雨，原本請假想到遠一點的地方拍照，只好轉到台大校園找一些主題拍拍。從防潮箱裡拿出 Vagolandar Bessa R2C 和SC Skopar 21/4 的鏡頭，順便也將幾顆年過半百的蔡斯老鏡帶出來透透氣。

There is a decommissioned F-100 fighter jet next to the National Taiwan University Department of Mechanical Engineering laboratory. It was originally used for student research, but now only some disassembled components are scattered around the main body of the aircraft. If this aircraft was still in service, it would be about 40 years old. Pairing it with vintage lenses that are also over 50 years old should give it a unique flavor.

Since it was a cloudy day, I chose to use RVP100 film for the shoot. I adjusted the exposure by -0.5 to -1EV, mainly to create a sense of historical atmosphere for the subject. However, this also sacrificed a lot of the details in the shadows. I think I will not make this adjustment next time, as brighter and more vibrant photos are more appealing.

台大機械系實驗工廠旁有一台廢棄的F-100軍刀戰機，原先應該是供學生做研究的，現在只看到一些分解的組件散在飛機主體旁邊。如果這架飛機還在服役的話應該也有近40年的歷史了，搭配50年的歷史的老鏡應該有它獨特的味道。
由於是陰天，所以我選用RVP100來拍攝，曝光方面有-0.5到-1EV調整，主要是想營造主題特有歷史感，不過卻也犧牲了蠻多的暗部細節。我想下一次不會再做這種調整了，畢竟還是亮一點鮮豔一點的相片較討喜。
