Yashica MAT-124G @ Ju Ming Museum 朱銘美術館

2009.5.8

The first time I went to the Ju Ming Museum was on a company trip with my wife. It's been about 5 or 6 years since then. I took a day off from work before Mother's Day to accompany my mother, who was visiting from the north, and we also arranged a trip to the Ju Ming Museum. It's rare to find a museum or art gallery that allows photography both indoors and outdoors. The difficulty of sculpture photography is not high, and you can spend a lot of time composing and framing. However, the biggest challenge is how to add your own photographic style to such outstanding works.

第一次到朱銘美術館是老婆的公司旅遊，算一算也有5、6年了。母親節前請了一天假陪北上的母親，順便安排了一趟朱銘美術館的是影之旅，很難得有個美術館或博物館是室內室外都開放拍照的，雕塑攝影的難度不高，可以花很多時間取景與構圖，不過在如此精采的作品之下 如何加入個人的攝影特色才是最大的挑戰。

I still prefer to use 120 black and white film for photography. In addition to the larger print size, it is also easier to scan into digital images. Because I wanted to keep things light for the trip, I didn't bring a tripod. TMAX400 film combined with a TLR with a leaf shutter can be used to compose and shoot even in low light indoors. The last five images in this series were taken in indoor light. These photos also tested a Vivitar +1 Close-Up Lens to reduce the TLR's closest focusing distance to 45cm-50cm.

拍黑白底片還是喜歡用120，除了一般的印樣成像較大以外，再翻拍成影像檔時也較為方便。因為出遊的輕便所以不帶腳架，TMAX400度底片搭配鏡間快門的TLR，就算在室內微光下也能取景拍攝，這一系列影像中，最後5張就是在室內光源下拍攝。這幾張照片同時也試用了一組 Vivitar +1 Close-Up Lens 將TLR的最近對焦距離降到 45cm~50cm。
