自從歷經上次《愛攝她首次試機》糗大後，就一直想著要檢討改進 (想翻盤) …
I've been trying to do the improvement taking photos with my vintage camera EXA-1 after a failure on its first trial run.. (actually, I'm refusing to believe it can not be well done)...
幾經思量，心想就算把「日光十六律」等各心法給背爛了，但人眼終究是感官、是器官而不是測光工具！鐵了心上網拍買了個「十分先進的」測光表 (POLARIS) ，並於《雅西卡 635 中片幅相機 - 試機首卷》測試驗證可行後，再次扛著 EXA-1 出門取景！
After thoughts, I finally come to a conclusion - even I could memorize well the known "Sunny 16 rules", human eyes are eventually of an organ for sense, instead of a measureing instrument (namely, they are more with purpose of enjoying images but for judging the exposure). Decisively, I bought a sort of advanced light meter - POLARIS. With some doubts though, I tested the meter with another vintage camera "Yashica 635 medium format camera", and obtained a fair results at her 1st trial so to be sure I could mamaned to do it right. Then the 2nd trial with EXA-1 could move on.
真的越來越喜歡老相機搭配黑白底片的感覺了，沒有亮麗超炫的功能、只有堅固耐用的機械、省卻了色彩的渲染鋪陳、單單灰階明暗構圖，就足以記錄鮮活點滴 (甚至可以創作)。尤其是像我這種頑固份子，非得要親身體現四、五十年前，在沒有電子相機/沒有傻瓜相機/沒有數位相機時前人攝影的甘苦況味！這種要命又累人的組合會讓人回到攝影的最原點。。。
I do love the outcomes came from a combination black & white films in a vintage camera...
You don't see charming and fancy functions, but only a durable and well-built mechanics; there is no amazing color expression in, but the composition with only gray scales, light and darkness might speak more than a snapshot itslef (creation sometimes even better). An old fashioned guy like me, I did insist to embody myself to the old days, 4 or 5 decades from now, and to taste what the photographers were in where there was no electronic camera/point-and-shot one/DC or DSLR! Yes, it's exhausted yet it also brings poeple back to the origin of photo-taking...
