Sony RX100VA @ Tamsui Fisherman's Wharf 淡水漁人碼頭

2026/10/16

It had been 19 years since my last photographic outing to Tamsui Fisherman's Wharf. Back then, I brought along my Yashica Mat-124G to shoot black-and-white film.

This time, I took my fourth compact digital camera, the Sony RX100 VA. My previous three were the Kyocera Finecam S5R, Canon PowerShot A570 IS, and Canon PowerShot G16.

The RX100 VA has actually been discontinued for years. I bought a used one two years ago. Apart from a few scratches on the exterior of the lens barrel, the camera was in pretty good condition. At a time when there are very few options left in the compact digital camera market, I consider myself quite fortunate to have found one at a reasonable price.

距上次到淡水漁人碼頭拍照已經有19年了，那時是帶著Yashica Mat-124G拍黑白底片。

這次則是帶著我的第四台隨身數位相機 Sony RX100VA (前三台分別是 Kyocera Finecam S5R、Canon PowerShot A570IS、Canon PowerShot G16)。

這台相機實際上已停產多年，2年前我購入二手機，除了鏡頭外觀有些刮痕外，機況還不錯。在這個隨身數位相機沒甚麼太多選擇的時代，能以合理價格購入這台，運氣算是不錯。

The newest photographic attraction at Tamsui Fisherman's Wharf is the Danjiang Bridge, which opened to traffic this year. Spanning the Tamsui River, the bridge connects Tamsui and Bali. It is currently the world's longest single-tower, asymmetrical cable-stayed bridge in terms of its main span. These photographs were taken at around 7:00 a.m. The low-angle morning sunlight happened to illuminate the otherwise backlit bridge tower, adding depth and a stronger sense of dimension to the structure.

In another shot, the interplay of the bridge's silhouette and the reflections of the waterfront streetlights creates an intriguing sense of ambiguity between day and night.

淡水漁人碼頭可以拍攝的新景點就是今年通車，橫跨淡水河連結淡水與八里的「淡江大橋」，現為全球主跨最長之單塔不對稱斜張橋。這幾張照片拍攝的時間大約是早晨7:00左右，太陽斜射的光線剛好為背光的橋塔補光，增添這座斜張橋的立體感。

另一張，利用背光拍攝斜張橋的大剪影技巧，搭配岸邊的街燈反光，則給人的時間的錯覺。
