國家地理剛發布的時候說.獲得大獎(Grand Prize)的這位得獎者,其實將其作品命名為Splashing。
並在投稿時寫到,這張照片是在一場突如其來的大雨中拍攝,
當時的他真的不知道該不該繼續拍攝下去。
現在卻更改為.攝影師Shikhei吳作棟了“高超的照明”的優勢和上灑水的朋友蜻蜓來模擬雨水,結果是一個“非常引人注目的翻拍形象,上升到對我的性質類別的頂部,因為它的獨創性,美麗的光芒,在近距離圖像罕見的行動,以及其技術的完美。
現在是怎樣在說笑話嗎?天然的一場雨頓然變成朋友灑水來模擬雨水.如果一開始就說雨水朋友灑水來模擬.
那評審會給他優勝嗎?.
本來以為國家地理雜誌被作者給矇騙了,現在看了他的一席話誤導評審,造成他得獎的原因之一,在自然組參賽,應是不當.
1/12所增加的註解,表示Shikhei的得獎作品是在非自然狀態下所拍攝出的照片,而國家地理雜誌在網頁上公佈的敘述,是不是認同如此作法?以非自然的方式去拍攝生態而列為自然組?這樣的方式是國家地理雜誌所認同的嗎?
如果國家地理雜誌認同如此做法,那你們的宗旨,"自1888年,激勵人們去關心地球(inspiring people to care about the planet since 1888),是否違背了宗旨?
Originally I thought National Geographic was fooled by the photographer Shikhei.
When Shikhei submitted his photographs for the competition, the description he wrote about the sudden rainstorm was one of the reason he won the prize. But the truth is, it was inappropriate for him to submit his photographs to the category "Nature".
On the date 12 Jan, National Geographic added description to Shikhei's winning photograph. It shows the photograph was done with manmade spraying water instead of the nature rainstorm, National Geographic released these description expose the organization authorized this kind of behavior----to submit a photograph which was done in a unnature way to the Nature category? Is it this kind of method to shoot a Nature category is agree with the National Geographic? If the National Geographic approve this kind of non-nature effect photographs, then what about those big words you put on the front page of the National Geographic website,"Inspiring people to care about the planet since 1888?" Is the National Geographic in opposition to their principle?
=================================================================================

You can see the rain in the photograph is from left to right, the angle is about 60 degree, it happens when the wind blow the rain. So it was very windy at that time, the rain drop on the dragonfly's feet should be blown away or formed the shapes according to the wind. The rain drops are perfect half-curved, makes me feel there wasn't any wind when the photo was taken.
以照片雨滴由左而右 成60度斜切 由於雨滴速度由風帶動.
可見當時風很大.腳的雨滴應該會被吹離或形成風的走向的形狀.此照片的雨滴完整的半弧形的張力.讓人質疑是拍攝時是無風的。
