馬祖的藍眼淚怎麼拍? --- 轉po文

雖然這一篇文章是舊聞了，但是還是很實用，尤其愛好攝影想去馬祖旅遊的人朋友，可以再看過一次。

近年來在馬祖地區掀起追藍眼淚的熱潮，這個神秘的嬌客現身在每年春夏之際，如同電影《少年Pi》的絕美場景，藍眼淚每到季節於馬祖沿岸海面上發出夢幻的藍光，讓國人、甚至是國外的旅客為之瘋狂，但究竟藍眼淚是什麼？怎麼拍出藍眼淚？本文整理出「追淚達人」、「攝影達人」的藍眼淚攻略，讓讀者一篇就懂這世界奇景藍眼淚。

什麼是藍眼淚？
俗稱的藍眼淚到底是什麼？目前有藻類與蟲類兩種說法，經過多年的科學研究，有學者說是夜光藻、渦鞭毛藻，也有人說是介形蟲，大部份說法偏向夜光藻。藍眼淚的本性必須經過擾動才會發出光芒，這也是為什麼總是在沿岸才看得到藍眼淚的原因。

藍眼淚怎麼被發現的？
根據連江縣攝影學會理事長王敦濤表示，當年馬祖國家風景管理處職員顧哲嘉，本身熱愛拍照，某個夜晚他獨自到海邊拍照，慢速攝影之下發現海面竟散發淡淡藍光，這讓他驚訝不已也相當好奇；於是夥同攝影達人王敦濤等人，一同再前往海邊進行拍攝，發現藍眼淚數量驚人，於是決定撈起一些海水請教科學領域的專家。

不過，事實上馬祖當地老一輩的船夫們表示，藍眼淚早在他們小時候就有了，每天天未亮就得出海捕魚的他們，每次將船槳划動時，海面上都會發出微微藍光，但因為從小看到大，他們並不認為有何稀奇，但對現代人來說卻是相當具有吸引力的畫面。


怎麼樣才會看到藍眼淚？
這題也就是藍眼淚的「成因」，東莒當地民宿業者、帶領旅客「追淚」多年的鄭智新表示，光害、水色、風浪、流速及地形，是五大最主要影響藍眼淚出沒的因素。

光害：最大原則沒有光害，夜晚要看到微光光害一定要越低越好，因此觀賞藍眼淚的地方通常伸手不見五指。
水色：水色要很清，藍眼淚有另一個稱號叫「水星」，水色若不夠清澈，亮度就不大
風浪：風浪要平靜，浪很大白浪花一直拖曳，浪平就可更清楚看到藍眼淚。
流速：非風浪而起的水流，急的流速向岸邊推擠時浪高就不會超過50公分，因為超過50至70公分以上的就會變成白浪花。
地形：馬祖常見的斜平地形，經常長滿藤壺，因此藍眼淚不斷受到刺激，因此地形越不規則、成斜平狀，讓藍眼淚不斷受到刺激之下，亮度就會更亮，


藍眼淚的季節是什麼時候？
鄭智新表示，藍眼淚大發的季節多在6、7、8月，從無月光害從農曆的23號開始，一直延伸到初三初四初五，但還得配合配合每日的月出時間，計算藍眼淚最佳拍攝的時間點。

怎麼樣才可以拍到藍眼淚？
看到藍眼不夠，還想要把親眼所見的藍眼淚「帶」回家，技術面的問題也是一門學問，王敦濤從器材到相機的設定建議旅客，依照以下的步驟能較容易拍攝到美麗的藍眼淚。

器材：
1、數位相機（建議類單眼以上）
2、廣角鏡：為拍到海邊的大景，整體照片呈現會更美。
3、快門線：因為長時間的曝光，若用手持按手會酸、也會抖動造成畫面晃動，因此快門線是必備小工具。
4、腳架：腳架越穩越好，因為海邊風強，能避免相機被吹倒，也能穩定畫面。
5、手電筒（最好有頭燈）：除了在黑暗中走路使用，在做相機設定時也需要手電筒的輔助。
6、可計時的碼表或手機：藍眼淚的長時間曝光通常要至少30秒以上，碼表就是用來計時而不需費心默數。

相機的設定：
1、白平衡：手動白平衡約設定2500~3500，自動白平衡容易相片偏紅
2、ISO：現在的單眼相機一般都有一萬以上的ISO可設定，可先用高ISO6400以上進行構圖設定，再調回600~1200，可降低ISO的產生。
3、B快門：B快門可配合ISO的設定調整，可進行更多的時間控制，因此基本上拍攝藍眼淚都會選擇B快門。
4、光圈：一般拍攝藍眼淚光圈需開到最大，光圈約落在F2.8~F5.6之間。
5、對焦：黑暗的海邊通常無亮點可對焦，若手邊有聚光燈可使用自動對焦，但一般拍藍眼淚需手動對焦，從無限遠拉回一點可確保焦距。
6、降噪：長時間曝光後照片會產生噪點，相片品質會變差，在相機設定裡操作，特別注意降噪，拍攝時間多久降噪時間就要多久，假設快門時間3分鐘，降噪時間就要3分鐘，因此該張照片完成時間需要6分鐘。

在哪個地方拍最好？
王敦濤表示其實沒有絕對，只要在馬祖海岸線都有藍眼淚。南竿的大漢據點、北海坑道一帶是最早發現的地點，安全性相對較高，但光害也較多。鄭智新則表示，東莒因為濱海的道路多，因此相較可觀賞藍眼淚的地點也比較多，像是大砲連、神秘小海灣及大埔石刻等等，都是常見藍眼淚的地區。

注意事項：
鄭智新強烈建議，在追藍眼淚的時候，白天一定要去勘景，並盡量找熟路的當地人帶領，主要是安全的考量，也能觀察天氣、地形等等，追淚成功的機率的比較高。另外，王敦濤也建議一定要著長袖衣物、防蚊液及小護士藥膏防止蚊蟲叮咬，並穿較防滑的鞋子，避免較滑的斜坡地。

Ultra Premium Telephoto Lens Released. Tests on Smartphones Shown to Outperform DSLRs!

If you often take photos with your phone, this might be the most interesting article you will ever read.

HDZoom360 today announced they have released a super-premium smartphone telephoto lens that brings professional image quality to today's smartphone cameras.
Images produced by HDZoom360 have been tested and found to equal or exceed the photos produced by lenses from the top makers in the world. We're extremely proud to have manufactured such a high-quality product at such a modest price point, thanks to computer design and advanced CCD fabrication.
We've all experienced moments where what you see is far more epic than what you can capture with your smartphone camera. Most of the time you try and try, hoping for that lucky photo but all you get are blurry shaky images. With HDZoom360, you will be able to zoom in 18x and focus on what your smartphone can’t. With its included stabilizing tripod, you will get the perfect picture every time!

ZOOM In & Get Focused...

HDZoom360 lenses are Ultra Multi Coated to enhance contrast in all light conditions, allowing for great photos in any environment.

HDZoom360 easily mounts to all smartphones - Apple, Android and virtually any other phone made by any manufacturer. You don’t need any special knowledge or technical ability. Simply clip on the lens with the high-tensile adjustable bracket and attach to its stabilizing tripod. It only takes seconds!

Why Does It Work so Well?

HDZoom360 uses real glass to magnify the image. It's called optical zoom.
When you zoom in using your standard phone's camera it is called digital zoom. Digital zoom is not really zoom. It takes a central portion of the image and enlarges it, thus 'simulating’ optical zoom. The result? Low quality images. If you've been regularly using digital zoom on your phone and wondered why your pictures do not look that great, now you know why.
In contrast, optical zoom is a true zoom. It uses optics (lens) to bring the subject closer. This is the only way you can get amazingly sharp pictures across the focal range.

Where can I buy it?

You can buy it directly from the company's website by clicking here.

Guess what, last week we ordered a kit ourselves to see if the lenses really stand up to their claims...
We could already tell by its packaging that this is a premium product. Inside there was the high performance 8 x 18 zoom lens, a clip-on to make sure the lens fits your phone and a stabilizing tripod.
First of all, it is unbelievable how crisp and clear pictures taken with HDZoom360 lens look! Even our followers on Facebook and Instagram immediately noticed the immense change in quality of our images that we often share.
You can literally zoom all the way in without losing much of the image quality! If you have ever tried zooming on your smartphone, you know how terrible the images turn out. This is a game changer!
We absolutely love HDZoom360 and think that every smartphone owner should get this lens. Seriously, it's just like having a professional camera in your pocket!

Windows 3.1: Twenty-five years later, it's still a Microsoft milestone

Imagine a world without the Start button. No, I'm not talking about Windows 8. Dig deep into your memory, and you may recall a time when Windows 3.1 ruled the Earth.

Twenty-five years ago this month, Microsoft released version 3.1 of its MS-DOS graphical-shell-turned-operating-system. Windows 3.1 became the first version of Windows to be widely distributed with new PCs, cementing the dominance of Microsoft's OS on the IBM PC platform and signaling the dawn of the Golden Age of Windows.

In honor of this anniversary, let's take a visual tour through Windows 3.1. In the following slides, I'll highlight many of the innovations this colorful GUI brought to Windows for the first time.

St Petersburg metro bombing suspect 'from Kyrgyzstan'

The man suspected of killing 14 people by bombing a St Petersburg train is a native of Kyrgyzstan who obtained Russian citizenship, the Central Asian country's security service says.

Forty-nine people were injured in the explosion between two underground stations on Monday afternoon.
The Kyrgyz security service named the bomber as Akbarzhon Jalilov, who it said was born in Osh in 1995.
There are conflicting reports as to whether he was a suicide bomber.
Kyrgyz state media said the country's security service was "maintaining contact with the Russian secret service for further investigation".

Authorities in St Petersburg have declared three days of mourning.
The death toll was raised from 11 to 14 on Tuesday morning after three people died in hospital.
Russian President Vladimir Putin, who was in St Petersburg - his home city - when the blast occurred, visited the scene on Monday evening and laid flowers at a makeshift shrine.
Russian investigators have given few details. No group has said it was responsible.

World leaders rallied behind Russia in condemning the blast.
The White House said President Donald Trump had spoken to Mr Putin by phone and offered "full support" in bringing those responsible to justice.
"Both President Trump and President Putin agreed that terrorism must be decisively and quickly defeated," a statement said.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel described the blast as a "barbaric act" and EU foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini said Europe's thoughts were with the Russian people.
What we know so far
Events as they happened
In pictures: St Petersburg metro explosion
First images from the scene showed a train at Tekhnologichesky Institut station with a hole blown in its side and wounded passengers on the platform.
Initial reports suggested there had been two explosions, one each at Sennaya Ploshchad and Tekhnologichesky Institut stations.
But the Russian National Anti-Terrorist Committee later confirmed there had been only one explosion, between the two stations, at about 14:30 local time

Senior investigator Svetlana Petrenko told Russian media the train driver's decision to continue to the next station almost certainly helped save lives, as it allowed people to be rescued quickly.
Andrei Przhezdomsky, the head of the National Anti-Terrorist Committee, said the explosion was caused by "an unidentified explosive device".
The discovery of an explosive device at another station, Ploshchad Vosstaniya, also suggested a co-ordinated attack.
Interfax said the bomber was known to have links to radical Islam.
The news agency said he died in a suicide blast and was identified through his remains. But the president's spokesman, Dmitry Peskov, would not comment on reports a suicide bomber was to blame.
Another agency, Tass, reported that a woman may also have been involved in the explosion.

St Petersburg's metro system, which is used by more than two million passengers every day, has not suffered previous attacks.
Several transport hubs in Russia have, however, been attacked. In 2010, 38 people died in a double suicide bombing on the Moscow metro.
And a year later, a bomb exploded on a high-speed train travelling between Moscow and St Petersburg, killing 27 and injuring another 130.
Both attacks were claimed by Islamist groups.

Grandparents celebrate anniversary with adorable piano duet

An elderly couple’s grandson said his grandparents “… have loved music their entire life. The piano they’re playing in the video is actually a restored antique Steinway from the 1800’s.” This is quite evident in this video featuring his grandparents recreated a part of the Pixar movie, “Up.”

For their 60th wedding anniversary, the movie couple decided to recreate the characters of Carl and Ellie from the famous film. Their grandson was more than willing to help out. In the movie scene, Carl and Ellie are shown growing old together, smiling and laughing as photographs from their past scroll by in a heartwarming scene.

“They really loved the movie, and it was incredibly fun working with them for the video,” Jason Lyle Black, pianist, and grandson of the 80-Year-Old couple

.

Also included in the homemade celebratory video was Carl’s tennis-ball cane, and Black dressed as the Wilderness Explorer Russell from the movie. Black is a lifelong devoted fan of his grandparents’ piano duets. Since childhood,  he says the video is a “family treasure” for all nine kids and dozens of grandchildren. “The night we posted the video, we had the whole family together, and we had grandma’s cookies,” Black said. “It was perfect.”

Tissues ready? You are going to love this tender story told with love.
