  • Impression of Trees in Water

    Impression of Trees in Water

    Last November, I took a trip to Erhai Lake. Cycling along the Haixi Ecological Corridor, I stopped whenever something caught my eye and pressed the shutter. Though the breeze and light rain made it a bit chilly, the sense of fulfillment was warm.

    The trees by Erhai Lake are incredibly picturesque—some standing on the shore, others in the water, alone or in clusters, their reflections rippling on the mirror-like surface.

    Now, months later, I’ve revisited the memories of that day—the wind, the rain, the ripples, the reflections, the autumn hues, and the tranquility—and finally processed these photos of the trees in the water.

  • 洱海里的树的印象

    洱海里的树的印象

    去年十一月去了趟洱海，沿着海西生态廊道骑行，看到养眼的，便下车按下快门。虽然微风小雨中有点冷，满足感是温暖的。

    洱海的树，很是入画 — 在岸边，在水中，或一棵，或几棵，与倒影在如镜的湖水中荡漾。

    现在过了几个月，回忆着当时的风、雨、波纹、倒影、秋色和静谧，把这些水中树的照片处理了出来。

  • Roses in Orange

    Roses in Orange

    About a year ago, I took the Panasonic Lumix G9 II camera and the OM System 40-150mm f/4 Pro lens to the Flower Dome at Gardens by the Bay, specifically to photograph the blooming flowers inside.

    After returning home and browsing through the colorful floral shots, I was amazed by the vibrant colors and sharpness delivered by this camera-lens combo. However, the straight-out-of-camera photos always fell a bit short of the vision I had in mind, so I planned to revisit them for post-processing someday. That “someday” turned out to be now, a year later.

    I processed the photos using DxO PhotoLab, employing techniques like multiple exposures, selective blurring, adding dynamic lighting, and vintage effects to achieve results that finally satisfied my creative appetite.

    These roses all carry hints of orange in their hues. Some are pearl-white with a delicate touch of warm orange, exuding elegance and freshness, while others are richly saturated with interwoven reds and oranges, radiating passion and vitality.

  • 橙色的玫瑰

    橙色的玫瑰

    大约一年前，我带了松下的Lumix G9 II相机和OM System的40-150mm f/4 Pro镜头，去了趟滨海花园的花穹，专程拍里面盛开的花。

    回家后浏览拍摄的各色花卉，惊艳于这个相机镜头组合带来的色彩和清晰度，但是直出的照片永远都距离我想要的感觉有点远，打算找个时间再来做二次处理。这个时间就是一年后的现在。

    处理照片用的是DXO PhotoLab。运用了多重曝光、区域虚化、添加动态光线、做旧等等技术手段，收获了大致满足我的胃口的成品照片。

    这些玫瑰的色彩都多少带了些橙色。有的是珍珠白中微微橙黄，清丽典雅；有的是则是浓艳的红色橙色交织，热烈奔放。

  • Soft Chinese Roses

    Soft Chinese Roses

    The flowers in the vase at home were replaced with a bouquet of Chinese roses, their centers a soft pink, fading to white at the petals, with just a hint of green along the edges. Against the white backdrop of the wall, they swayed faintly in the breeze, hazy and dreamy—just how I like it.

    I mounted my Fujifilm medium-format digital camera, the GFX 50s II, attached an adapted Nikon-mount Sigma 150mm macro lens, and captured a series of close-ups.

    The out-of-camera shots were already quite good—colors, contrast, white balance, and details were all perfectly usable. But they still fell short of the feeling I wanted—soft and dreamy.

    After importing them into my computer, I used DXO PhotoLab to tweak them into the vision I had in mind.

  • 柔美的月季

    柔美的月季

    家里的花瓶里换插了一束月季花，花芯粉红，花瓣渐白，花瓣边缘带些绿意。衬着背景墙的白色，微风吹过，朦朦胧胧，正合我的胃口。

    架上富士的中画幅数码相机GFX 50s II，拧上转接的尼康口的Sigma 150mm的微距镜，拍了一组特写。

    相机直接出的片已经不错了 — 色彩、对比度、白平衡和细节都完全可用。但是离我的感觉 — 朦胧和梦幻 — 还差一些。

    导入电脑，用DXO PhotoLab调成了我想要的样子。

  • Erhai Lake in Chinese Painting

    While cycling along Erhai Lake in Dali, Yunnan, China, the days were filled with rain and wind. The trees and birds in the lake appeared as though they were part of a traditional Chinese painting.

  • Jiuzhai Valley in Autumn

    Jiuzhai Valley in Autumn

    “When I traveled from Singapore to Jiuzhai Valley in Sichuan, China, it felt like leaping from summer straight into a vibrant autumn. The leaves were transforming into shades of yellow and red, the streams grew clearer and more energetic, and the air turned refreshingly cool.
