樹的光影集 ... Light and shadows of trees

Sunlight shinning through, which gives us a sense of hope: 
過了炎夏,開始留意樹的光影 - 
除了光暗的對比,光從樹間透出,予人希望之感:

Light from the side increases depth perception,
the trunks stand out and leaves look attractively green:
還有陽光從側面照射樹木,
令樹林、樹幹、樹葉等增強立體感、深度感,
綠色更鮮艷,光彩奪目:

Light is so important in photography. 

Light from the side is photographers' best friend.

除了日出日落由陽光主導,
拍攝景物,光線何其重要?
側光,是攝影的最佳拍檔。
The following  photo was taken by a relative
in the St. Peter's Basilica in the Vatican.
He remarked that the light rays suited the church scene.
Rays shone from above created a solemn atmosphere,

and serve like a reminder of the Lord's care and guidance to the world.
下圖是親友在梵蒂岡聖彼得大教堂內拍攝,
並指出這光很有意境,也配合教堂內的場景。
如此清晰但柔和光束,從上而下照射,
帶有一種氣勢,莊嚴肅穆!
好比上主眷顧與指引世人:

世界的光、生命的光 The light of the world, the light of life

The word 'light' appears in many Bible verses, e.g. John 8:12:
"When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, 
"I am the light of the world.
Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, 
but will have the light of life."
聖經有不少經文提及『光』,
也將『光』比作不同事物。
『光』值得我們仔細思考,例如:
『耶穌又對眾人說:
"我是世界的光;跟從我的,就不在黑暗裏走,
必要得著生命的光。"』(約翰福音八章12節)

光之重要  Importance of light

Light is crucial to our everyday life and human existence. 
However, we think it is natural...of course it exists!
We don't bother about light and 
we don't particularly treasure and appreciate light. 
But photographers surely know how to appreciate light and capture it, use it in the best time of the day and in the four seasons.
『光』,在我們每天生活中,
對人類生存有至重要的功用,
不過也是我們覺得理所當然、
必然存在的,卻又不大理會,
不會特別珍惜與欣賞的東西,
但攝影的人一定懂得欣賞它、
把握一天及四季最佳的時間捕捉它、運用它!

對十一月的總結  A summary of this November

This November has been an unforgettable and fruitful month of blogs.
Never in my life have I witnessed so many spectacular sights,
being inspired to be concern about various issues, 
such as sunrise, clouds, trees, light, and life issues.
So I've tried to catch up with His footsteps
and recorded what I've seen and being inspired.
十一月是難忘充實的筆耕之旅,
從未在如此短時間內,看見如此多奇景,
啟發我關注不同事情,
如日出、雲、樹、光、離別、人生磨練,
因此儘力配合衪的引領,記錄所見所思。
A friend asked me,
 "What message do you think God has given you?"
I thought, "It's that the blessing of God is provided in such a way, 
and I deeply appreciate this verse:
"The heavens declare the glory of God; 
the skies proclaim the work of his hands."(Psalm 19:1)
Now I could have an idea of what's meant by 'glory' 
and 'the glory of the Lord' !
有友好問:你覺得神給你甚麼訊息?
我想:是神的祝福以此方式呈現,而且深刻體會:
『諸天述說衪的榮耀,穹蒼傳揚衪的手段』(詩篇19:1)
甚麼叫榮耀,甚麼叫榮光,彷彿有些頭緒了!
