Argosで£14.99、三脚を買ってしまった。重さは1.15kgで、最高151.5cmまで伸びる。三脚の使い道はいろいろ
あると思う。シャッター速度が遅くてもぶれないし、集合写真の時にカメラを置く場所にも困らない。又、一人旅を
してる時などでも、自分が写れる。
最近、写真撮影の奥深さに感動している。父曰く、写真を撮るとき、自分なりのテーマがあったほうが良いらしい。
又、構図をよく練るのは当たり前だが、さらに良い光を求めて朝早く起きたり、夕方の夕日を狙ったりとそれなりに
努力しなくては、良い写真は撮れないらしい。今日、歯医者でNational
Geographicという雑誌を読んでいたが、
やはりそこに載っている写真はプロのものだなーと一目で分かるほど、良いものばかりなのである。自分も、もっと
写真を撮る目を鍛えなくてはな。
歯医者は今日で終了。虫歯のない歯というものは良いものだ。これからは、完璧に歯を磨くことにしよう。
Bought a tripod at Argos for £14.99. It weighs
1.15kg, and can be extended to maximum of 151.5cm. There's
a
lot of ways in which a tripod can be useful, e.g. it won't blur even
with the slow shutter-speed, you can be in
a
picture when you're travelling alone and such.
I was struck by the depth of photo taking recently
after my father told me little about it. When taking photos,
you should have your own 'theme' even when you're
targeting a same object. It is always important to think
about the composition of the picture, but more
importantly, you need to make a lot of effort on acquring a
good light, which you need to get up early in the
morning or patiently wait till the sunset and all. I was reading
National Geographic while I was
waiting at a dentist. The pictures in that magazine were so good
that even
a layman like me can notice instantly that this
picture was taken by a professional. It really encouraged me
to learn more about photography.
Today was the last day at a dentist and I am happy
for it. I will perfectly blush my teeth from now on.
