Selected Photographic Works of His Holiness the Grand Master

Photography has been a serious hobby for the Grand Master recently for quite some time now. However, he may not be thought as one of your usual amateurs. He has been actually quite familiar with photography for more than 15 years. In fact, he used to do all the photography and spectrography about stars, sun, moon, quasars using large telescopes for scientific researches when he was a professional "astrologist". So the stuff is not quite new to him. He just began to pick the stuff back and pointing his camera down at various things, peoples, mountains and rivers on the Earth. His view angle is now just switched from seeking the Truth from the sky above to revealing the Beauty of the beings on the planet. 到目前为止,摄影已经成为国师的一件严肃认真的业余爱好。当然哪,虽然是 “业余”,国师与普通的摄影发烧友相比,还是有所差别。至少,在过去 的十几年里,国师对于照相技术有相当的了解与熟悉。事实上,在国师还 是个一混饭吃的“专业天文学家”的时候,他时不常使用各种大型望远镜 和先进的照相设备,对天上各种他感兴趣的研究对象(比如恒星哪、双星 哪、太阳、月亮、彗星、类星体之类),进行照相与摄谱的观测研究。因 此而言,这些玩意儿对国师来说,还不算太陌生。唯一有所不同的是,他 不再是把照相机对准天空去企图寻求大自然的奥秘与探索真理,国师目前 只是把照相机瞄准地面,期望在他能拥有的业余时间内,尽可能通过胶片 去发现和表达这个星球上的人与自然的美。
Good photos are meant to be shared, to be enjoyed by many people. It is meaningless and ridiculous to hide the photographic works just for the photographer himself. Fortunately in this age of Internet, it is possible to have a web photo album set up to reach a lot of people around the world. Now the Grand Master is doing his very first Exhibition of a few selected works in the cyberspace. Please enter the Exhibition Hall below. 好的摄影作品本来就应该是拿来与大家共享的。摄影家若是把 自己的摄影作品藏起来,毕竟可笑而且毫无意义。幸运的是, 我们生活在这个前所未有的因特网时代,很容易建立起这么一个 网页影集,与全世界各地的朋友分享,真正是所谓“天涯若比 邻”。现在,国师在此选出若干最新的习作,举行他的首届摄 影作品展。欢迎您前往如下展览室参观。

Technical Note: All the photos exhibited here are on original slide films. They have been scanned in as 24-bit full color pictures on Nikon's Coolscan slide scanner. To achieve the best picture quality, you'd better view them from 24-bit color monitors (or so-called "TrueColor" monitors) on your computer. You will usually get coarser and darker pictures due to the dithering process done by your web browsers when it tries to simulate 24-bit colors on a 8-bit monitors.

Of course, for the best viewing result, you have to try becoming a good friend of His Holyness Grand Master and come to his Palace and watch the original slides directly from the projector. :-)

技术随笔: 全部展出照片的原片为彩色幻灯正片,用尼康CoolScan幻灯片扫 描机以24节色彩扫描进入计算机。为了达到最好的图象效果,您最好在 24节色彩的显示屏幕(也即所谓的“真色彩”显示屏幕)上观看。凡是 在低于24节色彩的显示屏幕上,一般只能看到较为粗糙和灰暗的失真图 像。

当然,如果想看到最好的视觉效果,您不妨想法成为国师的朋友,有机会 的时候,拜访国师府让他直接从幻灯机放映出来瞧。 :-)

In the past, the Grand Master has presented his slide shows to quite a lot of friends of his. They were simply amazed in awe and some of them even got motivated to also take photography more serious as a hobby or others vowed to go travelling with him together in the future. Pictures are just more convincing and powerful than words when revealing the beautiful things in the world. 在过去的一些日子里,不少国师的朋友们都直接在幻灯机上欣赏过 他的摄影作品。他们中许多都对摄影作品所能表现出来和美感到无 比的惊讶,有些朋友甚至受到触动启发,也决定心加入到摄影的业 余爱好队伍中来。也有的朋友相约国师 将来一同外 出旅行摄影。不用说,世界上还真没有什么别的东西会比图象 、照片在表现世界的美的方面,更有力量和更具说服力。
So, are you also very crazy about taking pictures like the Grand Master? If you share the same hobby as serious as him, you might want to get in touch with him. You may be able to share your experience and learn from each other. If you just started taking pictures, perhaps you could learn some basics from Kodak's on-line Guide to Better Pictures. Also, this web page of Focus on Photography is also a very good introduction for beginners.
