序言
攝影,是用眼睛用心去觀察、感受、把握時空的藝術,是一種感性與理性的結合。當我們舉起拍攝器,單反、微單、手機,對準某一場景,攝影的魅力不僅僅在於記錄,更在於發現。我們會用自己的眼光去捕捉那一瞬間最真實、最生動的一面。這時,我們的心靈仿佛也進入了另一個維度,感受到了一種與現實不同的魅力。
同時,攝影也是一種思考和表達的方式。通過鏡頭,我們可以表達自己的觀點和情感,傳遞自己的心聲。一張照片,可以讓我們看到別人眼中的世界,同時也可以讓別人了解我們內心深處的想法。
當然,攝影也需要技巧。熟練掌握光影、焦距、快門等攝影技巧,才能將我們所看到的世界,以最美的姿態呈現給觀眾。只有將技術與感性完美結合,才能創造出最具有藝術性和感染力的作品。
攝影定格了四季,定格了微笑,定格了故事,定格了感動,讓我們體驗到了更多生活的美好。
活躍在我們居住小區的一群長者,2022年,以極大的熱情投身於「攝影的學習與實踐」主題活動。我有幸通過五堂攝影講座,分享了我的攝影心得,與長者們互動學習,深切感受到長者們的學習熱情和生活閱歷。每天心喜地拜讀長者們在微信群中分享的海量攝影作品。難以置信,一年中居然有近千幅攝影習作,還舉辦了三場攝影展。如今其中精選出的百餘幅佳作終於匯編成冊。躍然紙上的是一個個精彩瞬間,更是攝影的全部意義:感受、發現、感動、表達、分享。
衷心祝賀《Framing Live —— 晚晴攝影佳作》問世!

Preface
Photography is the art of observing, feeling and grasping time and space with eyes and heart. It is a combination of sensibility and rationality. When we raise a camera, SLR, mirrorless camera, mobile phone, and point it at a certain scene, the charm of photography lies not only in recording, but also in discovery. We will use our own eyes to capture the real and vivid side of that moment. At this time, our hearts seem to have entered another dimension, and we feel a charm different from reality.
At the same time, photography is also a way of thinking and expressing. Through the lens, we can express our views and emotions, and convey our inner voice. A photo allows us to see the world through others’ eyes, and allows others to understand our deepest thoughts.
Of course, photography also requires skill. Only by mastering photography skills such as light and shadow, focal length, and shutter, can we present the world we see to the audience in the most beautiful posture. Only the most effective combination of technology and sensibility can create the most artistic and appealing works.
Photography freezes the four seasons, smiles, stories, and emotions, allowing us to experience more beauty in life.
This group of elders who are active in our residential community will devote themselves to the theme activity of “Learning and Practice of Photography” with enthusiastic enthusiasm in 2022. I had the honor to share my photography experience through five photography lectures, interact and learn with the elders, and deeply feel the enthusiasm and life experience of the elders. As a member of the elders’ WeChat group, I enjoy reading the vast photographic works shared every day by the elders. It is unbelievable that there are nearly a thousand photographic studies in one year, and three photography exhibitions are held. Now more than a hundred masterpieces selected from them have finally been compiled into a book. Photographic moments are the essence of photography: feeling, discovering, moving, expressing, and sharing.
Congratulations on the publication of Framing Live – The Masterpieces of Photography by Wan Qing (Markham Sunglow Senior and Family Association)!
