大家會帶著模型公仔去旅行兼拍照嗎?曾有一段時間,很流行用模型去「代表自己」到此一遊,不過要拍得好其實都不容易。至於攝影師 Andrew Whyte 的 365 計劃「The Legographer」就相當不錯了,他使用一個帶著相機的 Lego 模型人,隨著旅行四處拍照,感覺相當好玩,而且他所用的只是一部 iPhone 4S!

攝影師先使用 iPhone App 645Pro Mark II 來拍攝 TIFF 檔,然後再以 Snapseed 修圖,據他所說,以手機拍攝的好處是對焦距離足夠近,並且方便製造強迫透視,讓 Lego 人看起來較像真人大小。

攝影師也分享一些拍攝心得︰

1) 盡量尋找「故事」,改變模型的動作,製造出戲劇感
2) 以低角度拍攝遷就模型
3) 調整期望,因為手機能力有限,尤其在低光環境可能要用電筒之類來增加亮度,又或是雨天時可找水坑拍倒影,又或在強烈光差環境拍攝剪影,以解決動態範圍不足的弱點。
4) 要反覆確認對焦
5) 要善用手機 App,例如 645Pro 可改善測光位置,及輸出較佳圖片,而 Snapseed 則很方便後製等。
