FilmAnalysis · 照片背后的故事

找不到测光表的那个傍晚

从照片出发,读一段摄影史。故事和照片之间只是阅读上的联想,不代表照片的作者、相机或实际用的胶卷。

摄影师

安塞尔·亚当斯开车经过新墨西哥州埃尔南德斯时,月亮正升到村子上空。

他回忆说,当时一下子找不到测光表。他记得月亮的亮度大约是每平方英尺 250 坎德拉,就靠这个数算出了曝光。他想再拍一张,光线已经变了。这张《月升,埃尔南德斯》成了他最有名的照片之一。

不妨试试

在傍晚光线变化最快的十分钟里,对同一个场景每隔两分钟拍一张,看光怎样改变画面。

「不妨试试」是编辑设计的练习,不是史实。

FilmAnalysis · Stories behind the frame

The evening the meter went missing

Read a little photographic history. These connections suggest ways to look; they say nothing about authorship, cameras or the physical film stock.

Photographer

Ansel Adams was driving past Hernandez, New Mexico, as the moon rose over the village.

As he told it, he could not find his exposure meter. He remembered the moon's brightness as about 250 candles per square foot and worked out the exposure from that. When he tried a second negative, the light had already changed. Moonrise, Hernandez became one of his best-known photographs.

Try this

In the ten minutes when evening light changes fastest, photograph one scene every two minutes and see how the light changes it.

"Try this" is an exercise written by the editors, not history.
