The art of flowing

People often say that art categories are interlinked. American photographer Ansel? Adams once said: "Excellent photography should make people hear music from it." Moving music and excellent photography are inseparable. Music is a flowing auditory art of time, while photography is a static visual art of space.

Music is almost as expressive as photography. The expressive force of music, the perfect embodiment in sound, lies in the expressive force of sound. From treble to bass, as well as alto and human voice, all pay attention to distinct levels. People's ears can hear high notes that vibrate 20,000 times per second to low notes that vibrate 20 times per second. Beyond the hearing range of human ears, the treble is ultrasonic and the bass is infrasound. In this range, all sounds from high notes to low notes can be distinguished, which is an obvious sense of hierarchy. Otherwise, the treble is harsh and the bass is turbid, either the sound source is too poor or the audio grade is too low. That is, when the power amplifier amplifies the music program source, the distortion is too large. Unable to reach "Hi-Fi" status. Therefore, high-grade audio must ensure "low distortion" or even "zero distortion" while outputting enough power. Let the listeners feel the effect of the concert hall.

The expressive force of photography is perfectly reflected in chromaticity, because there are a lot of delicate grayscales in the picture from the brightest (not dead white) to the darkest (not dead black), which must be kept rich in layers. According to the traditional 18 gray (that is, the color of the plastic cover of the original color Kodak film, that is, 18 gray), the above are light gray, light gray, white gray and white. The following are medium gray, dark gray, black gray and black. On this basis, the finer the division, the richer the level. So, today, although color photography is very mature, some high-end photography still occupies the pride of Chun Xue in the field of black and white photography. What they highlight is the extremely rich black, white and gray levels as a photographic expression. Under such visual requirements, traditional film still occupies the highland of watching photography. British black and white film, Russian carbon paper and bulky large format camera are the material basis of high-end black and white photography.

Regarding music and photography, an artist once said to himself, "I don't know the weight of music in other people's hearts, but the notes never stop flowing in my blood." No matter how many times I press the shutter every day, the triumph of loving life has been playing for me. " "This is my heart.
