FilmAnalysisFilmAnalysis · 照片背后的故事
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。
MoMA 收藏着一幅阿特金斯 1853 年的蕨类蓝晒。她把植物直接放在感光纸上，晒出它本身的轮廓。
阿特金斯是植物学研究者，蓝晒对她来说首先是记录标本的办法。这些照片既是科学记录，也好看：细小的叶片在蓝底上留下清楚的白色轮廓。
选一种植物，分别看它的正面、背面和投下的影子。拍两张：一张以轮廓为主角，一张以纹理为主角。记录和构图可以在同一个练习里完成。
「不妨试试」是编辑设计的练习，不是史实。
故事卡与徽章分开收藏。为照片评分仍按原有规则收集徽章。
FilmAnalysis · Stories behind the frame
Read a little photographic history. These connections suggest ways to look; they say nothing about authorship, cameras or the physical film stock.
MoMA holds a fern cyanotype by Anna Atkins dated 1853. She laid the plant directly on sensitised paper, so it printed its own outline.
Atkins was a botanist, and for her cyanotype was first a way to record specimens. The prints are scientific records and beautiful as well: fine leaves in white against blue.
Choose a plant and look at its front, its back and its shadow. Make two pictures, one about outline and one about texture. Recording and composing can happen in the same exercise.
"Try this" is an exercise written by the editors, not history.
