At that time I only have two sons and I wanted to capture some precious memories for them. On one occasion, I met a photographer from China at a gathering. He took a few photos of my children, and when he sent them to me later, I suddenly realized—wow, photos can speak! He captured the warmth and interaction between the two boys, which sparked a strong interest in photography for me. After my daughter was born, I did manage to take some wonderful childhood photos for them. Because of my work in the tourism industry, I frequently visited the beautiful Banff National Park in the Rocky Mountains. I began to explore landscape photography gradually, develpped a strong insterst in it and became deeply engrossed in it.</p> <p class="ql-block"><b>For many of us photography is either a hobby or a way of life.

I lead fellow photography enthusiasts to beautiful places around the world to shoot, and I make a living from it. I feel like I currently have three different jobs: 1. A photographer--capturing and creating exceptional landscape photography 2. Business man - running my tourism company, and 3. Father - accompanying my children as they group up and educating them. As a landscape photographer, I need to engage in outdoor activities, venturing into those magnificent natural landscapes to capture breathtaking scenery and witness extraordinary views that most people never get to see. One the other hand as a father, I hope I have enough time to stay with my kids and witness their growth. I constantly look for a balance among work and family and feel very fulfilled in my life.</p><p class="ql-block">And of course photograph is a hobby for me because when I’m feeling down, need to push myself to think, or even face a creative block in photography, I take my camera with a long lens and shoot small scenes around my home or in nearby parks. Discovering the beauty in people and things close to me is also one of the joys of photography. This simple kind of shooting makes me very happy, and it’s something I often recommend beginners to practice and explore as well.</p> <p class="ql-block"><b>What would be the most important experience so far that has influenced your steps in photography?</b></p><p class="ql-block"><b>到目前為止，對(duì)您攝影事業(yè)發(fā)展影響最大的經(jīng)歷是什么？</b></p><p class="ql-block"><b><span class="ql-cursor">?</span></b></p><p class="ql-block">2020年的新冠疫情讓我失去了所有的工作，我的公司陷于停滯狀態(tài)。也是同一年我開始認(rèn)真的系統(tǒng)的學(xué)習(xí)攝影后期，慢慢地開始走到世界上那些美麗的極致的風(fēng)光攝影圣地去創(chuàng)作。從2022年開始我已經(jīng)不滿足于在加拿大落基山地區(qū)的拍攝，那年2月份我第一次有機(jī)會(huì)跟隨一個(gè)攝影的團(tuán)組到達(dá)冰島，拍攝和發(fā)現(xiàn)了那里很多美麗的景色，包括冰島的藍(lán)冰洞和蓋滿積雪的西角山。從那個(gè)時(shí)候我才知道世界上有如此多的極致美景，也是從那時(shí)候開始我逐漸走到世界上去進(jìn)行創(chuàng)作和帶隊(duì)拍攝包括每年兩次去冰島，冬天挪威的羅弗敦群島，秋天和春天意大利的多洛米蒂山區(qū)還有四月份擁有美麗秋天的南美巴塔哥尼亞地區(qū)。</p><p class="ql-block">The COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 caused me to lose all my work, and my company came to a standstill. In the same year, I began to seriously and systematically study photo editing and started traveling to some of the world's most beautiful and extreme photography destinations to create. By 2022, I was no longer satisfied with shooting only in the Canadian Rockies. In February of that year, I had my first opportunity to join a photography group to Iceland, where I captured and discovered many stunning landscapes, including Iceland's blue ice caves and the snow-covered Vestrahorn Mountain. It was then that I realized how many extraordinary landscapes exist in the world. From that point on, I gradually began traveling globally for creative work and leading photography tours, including two trips to Iceland each year, winter trips to Norway's Lofoten Islands, autumn and spring trips to Italy's Dolomites, and April journeys to the breathtaking autumn landscapes of Patagonia in South America.</p> <p class="ql-block"><b>You have your very own style.

I grew up in the mountains, so I have a deep affection for mountains and rivers. The creation of landscape photography is an interactive expression of the various elements of nature. In ancient Chinese paintings, mountains and rivers were always depicted on a grand scale, while the people and villages in the scenes appeared extremely small, showing that the ancients held a deep reverence for nature. Frost, rain, snow, auroras, and lightning are all forms of nature's dialogue with humanity, its language. To capture great landscape photos, one must accurately interpret and thoroughly understand the messages nature conveys to us, while respecting all natural laws in the process of shooting.</p> <p class="ql-block"><b>What is more important to you, the mood,/story behind your images or the technical perfection?</b></p><p class="ql-block"><b>對(duì)您來說，什么更重要：圖像背后的情緒/故事，還是技術(shù)的完美？</b></p><p class="ql-block"><b><span class="ql-cursor">?</span></b></p><p class="ql-block">對(duì)于我來說，mood/story更重要一些，攝影技術(shù)上的一切方式都是給表達(dá)圖片的氛圍和故事來服務(wù)的。攝影圖片是瞬間的一個(gè)記錄，記錄的也是決定性精彩的一個(gè)瞬間。所以這張圖片能帶給觀看者什么感覺是最重要的。當(dāng)然風(fēng)光攝影加后期的操作來說，現(xiàn)在相機(jī)的質(zhì)量已經(jīng)可以讓F8-F13，iso320-1000之間并沒有那么大的區(qū)別了。</p><p class="ql-block">For me, mood and story behind the photo are more important. All technical aspects of photography serve to express the atmosphere and narrative of the image. A photograph is a momentary record, capturing a decisive and remarkable instant. Therefore, what matters most is the feeling the image evokes in the viewer. Of course, in landscape photography combined with post-processing, the quality of modern cameras has reached a point where there isn’t a significant difference between settings like F8-F13 and ISO 320-1000.</p> <p class="ql-block"><b>What generally is your relationship to your subject matter beyond being an observer?</b></p><p class="ql-block"><b>Do you prepare carefully the locations where you are intending to photograph? </b></p><p class="ql-block"><b>除了觀察者的身份之外，您與拍攝對(duì)象的關(guān)系通常是什么？</b></p><p class="ql-block"><b>您是否仔細(xì)準(zhǔn)備要拍攝的地點(diǎn)當(dāng)你感興趣的時(shí)候？</b></p><p class="ql-block"><b><span class="ql-cursor">?</span></b></p><p class="ql-block">對(duì)于風(fēng)光攝影來說，拍攝的元素主要有這么幾種：山，水，植物等等。水有各種形態(tài)：冰，霜，雨，雪，冰川，河流，海，湖等等，在中國的文化中有一句名言：水利萬物而不爭，意思是水這個(gè)物體滋養(yǎng)著自然界的所有生靈，但從來不跟這些生物去爭奪來顯示自己的獨(dú)特。這是一種謙虛而包容的精神。而山的特質(zhì)也有很多比如：高處不勝寒的寂寞，胸懷寬廣的包容，棱角分明的韌性等。植物和樹木代表著夏天的生機(jī)勃勃，秋天的溫暖色彩等等。我試圖在用我的相機(jī)把這些大自然界各種物體的特質(zhì)拍攝下來，水的柔美，山的雄偉，秋天的燦爛，冬天的冷酷等等都是我在畫面中表達(dá)的情感，也是我在和自然的對(duì)話。</p><p class="ql-block">對(duì)于一個(gè)拍攝的地方來說，我會(huì)好好地規(guī)劃拍攝的行程，研究拍攝點(diǎn)的位置，山的位置，日出日落光線能照射到的地方還有甚至于住宿到拍攝點(diǎn)的距離都是我需要好好計(jì)劃的一部分。雖然有時(shí)候計(jì)劃中的拍攝任務(wù)因?yàn)樘鞖獾纫蛩夭⒉荒芏紝?shí)現(xiàn)的了，但一些旅途中意外的變化和驚喜也是需要攝影師的當(dāng)機(jī)立斷，比如途中看到一些精彩的瞬間需要馬上抓拍下來。</p><p class="ql-block">In landscape photography, the main elements to capture include mountains, water, plants, and so on. Water exists in various forms: ice, frost, rain, snow, glaciers, rivers, oceans, lakes, and more. In Chinese culture, there is a famous saying: "Water benefits all things but does not compete," meaning that water nourishes all living beings in nature without striving to assert its uniqueness. This embodies a spirit of humility and inclusiveness. Mountains, on the other hand, possess many characteristics, such as the solitude of being high and cold, the broad-mindedness of their vastness, and the resilience of their sharp edges. Plants and trees represent the vitality of summer and the warm colors of autumn, among other things. I strive to capture these unique qualities of natural elements through my camera—the softness of water, the grandeur of mountains, the brilliance of autumn, and the harshness of winter. These are the emotions I express in my images and the dialogue I have with nature.</p><p class="ql-block">When I go to a shooting location, I carefully plan the trip: study the positions of the shooting spots and mountains, the areas where sunrise and sunset light will fall, and even the distance from accommodations to the shooting points. These are all part of the meticulous planning process. Sometimes I still cannot complete the planned shooting no matter how meticulously I prepare, due to uncontrolled factors like weather. I believe everything is the best arrangement. The unexpected changes could surprise the journey, as long as the photographer can quickly make the decision. For example, capturing a stunning moment on the way to the shooting spot when storm suddenly arrives.</p> <p class="ql-block"><b>Describe your overall photographic vision.</b></p><p class="ql-block"><b>描述一下您的整體攝影視野。</b></p><p class="ql-block"><b>?</b></p><p class="ql-block">攝影始終是記錄瞬間的一個(gè)過程，風(fēng)光攝影也是，我們每個(gè)風(fēng)光攝影師都是在試圖拍到自己心目中那個(gè)完美的畫面。為此我會(huì)探索那些我沒有去過的地方比如冰川下新形成的藍(lán)色冰洞。有時(shí)候我也會(huì)反復(fù)往返一個(gè)同樣的場景來等待那些震撼的瞬間，比如閃電，極光，美麗的云層也或者是一只突然出現(xiàn)的動(dòng)物，都會(huì)給一個(gè)同樣的場景增添不同的感覺。前段時(shí)間很多老師對(duì)攝影的同質(zhì)化做了很多評(píng)論，認(rèn)為不應(yīng)該在相同的場景拍攝。這一點(diǎn)我不太認(rèn)同，因?yàn)榇笞匀坏拿恳淮胃业慕涣鞫际遣煌?。?dāng)這個(gè)千載難逢的瞬間出現(xiàn)的時(shí)候，我希望自己是那個(gè)親自在那個(gè)地方領(lǐng)略并拍攝到的人，而不是用后期甚至AI的手段來獲得，畢竟自己的親身經(jīng)歷是風(fēng)光攝影最美妙的時(shí)刻。這并不是靠鍵盤來獲取的。</p><p class="ql-block">Photography is always a process of capturing moments, and landscape photography is no exception. Each of our landscape photographers is striving to capture that perfect image we envision. To achieve this, I explore places I’ve never been to before, such as newly formed blue ice caves beneath glaciers. Sometimes, I revisit the same scene repeatedly, waiting for those awe-inspiring moments—whether it’s lightning, the aurora, a stunning cloud formation, or even a sudden appearance of an animal. These elements can add a completely different feel to the same scene. Recently, many experts have commented on the homogenization of photography, arguing against shooting in the same locations. I don’t entirely agree with this perspective because every interaction I have with nature is unique. When that once-in-a-lifetime moment occurs, I want to be the one who personally experiences and captures it, rather than relying on post-processing or AI to recreate it. After all, the most beautiful moments in landscape photography come from firsthand experiences—something that can’t be achieved by simply sitting behind a keyboard.</p> <p class="ql-block"><b>What are the main features of a successful landscape photographer in your opinion?</b></p><p class="ql-block"><b>您認(rèn)為成功的風(fēng)景攝影師的主要特征是什么？</b></p><p class="ql-block"><b>?</b></p><p class="ql-block">作為一名專業(yè)的風(fēng)光攝影師我認(rèn)為他必須要對(duì)自然界的風(fēng)霜雨雪和各種天氣了如指掌甚至能通過各種預(yù)測天氣的軟件做到預(yù)判的本領(lǐng)，這種情況下他才能對(duì)接下來能拍攝到的畫面足夠了解。還是那句話就是攝影師需要讀懂大自然的語言，自然界的一切風(fēng)霜雨雪天氣變化其實(shí)都是在跟人類進(jìn)行溝通。風(fēng)光攝影師需要了解這些語言并解讀出它的變化，才能使自己的拍攝計(jì)劃相對(duì)成功，或者說有個(gè)相對(duì)成功的提前預(yù)判。比如在班芙國家公園的冬天，你需要知道零下20度以后在一些拍攝點(diǎn)會(huì)出現(xiàn)什么樣的畫面，比如冰掛，雪包，樹上的霜還有極寒天氣所導(dǎo)致的一些極致的景色。比如我拍攝的一些極光作品，首先我們要會(huì)預(yù)測極光的到來和級(jí)別還有查看天空的晴朗度云層的厚度等等以增加拍攝成功率，當(dāng)然也要考慮地景。還有重要的一點(diǎn)是一名風(fēng)光攝影師需要有足夠的體力來應(yīng)付一些徒步，登山等戶外技能。因?yàn)槲覀円M量拍攝到一些別人沒有見過的畫面，把自然界不為人知的一面展現(xiàn)給大家。</p><p class="ql-block">As a professional landscape photographer, I believe one must have a thorough understanding of natural elements like wind, frost, rain, and snow, as well as the ability to predict weather conditions using various forecasting tools. Only then can they gain a clear idea of the scenes they might capture. As the saying goes, a photographer needs to "read the language of nature." All natural phenomena—wind, frost, rain, snow, and weather changes—are essentially nature's way of communicating with humans. A landscape photographer must understand and interpret these changes to make their shooting plans relatively successful or to have a reasonably accurate prediction in advance. For example, in the winter at Banff National Park, you need to know what scenes might appear at certain shooting spots when temperatures drop below -20°C, such as ice formations, snowdrifts, frost-covered trees, and other extreme landscapes caused by the severe cold.</p><p class="ql-block">When capturing the aurora, we first need to predict its arrival time and intensity, check the clarity of the sky, the thickness of the clouds, and other factors to increase the chances of a successful shoot, while also considering the foreground. Another crucial point is that a landscape photographer must have sufficient physical stamina to handle activities like hiking and mountaineering. This is because we aim to capture scenes that others haven’t seen, revealing the lesser-known aspects of nature to the world.</p> <p class="ql-block"><b>Could you please tell us something more about your workflow from the idea to the final product? </b></p><p class="ql-block"><b>您能否向我們?cè)敿?xì)介紹一下從創(chuàng)意到最終作品的一個(gè)想法拍攝流程？</b></p><p class="ql-block"><b><span class="ql-cursor">?</span></b></p><p class="ql-block">多年前我曾經(jīng)喜歡收藏藝術(shù)品，藝術(shù)品在當(dāng)今社會(huì)出現(xiàn)了很多的贗品，那如果在沒有更多的知識(shí)去鑒別他們的情況下我的經(jīng)驗(yàn)是多去看和鑒賞那些真正的好的藝術(shù)品來提高自己的藝術(shù)修養(yǎng)和辨別真品的能力。攝影藝術(shù)也是如此，我會(huì)經(jīng)常在一些頂級(jí)的攝影網(wǎng)站尤其是1x.com來欣賞和學(xué)習(xí)那些極具藝術(shù)價(jià)值的作品以此來提高自己的藝術(shù)修養(yǎng)和靈感。所以心中有一片想象的畫面是最重要的，然后就是付諸行動(dòng)在合適的季節(jié)到那些美麗的地方創(chuàng)作。當(dāng)然很多時(shí)候我拍攝的一些畫面在當(dāng)時(shí)看沒有多少價(jià)值，可當(dāng)我閑暇時(shí)把這些原圖反復(fù)拿出來推敲的時(shí)候或許會(huì)有更多的靈感來后期修飾它們?，F(xiàn)代的風(fēng)光攝影離不開后期，所以有相當(dāng)技術(shù)的后期對(duì)于制作一張好的風(fēng)光作品來說也是至關(guān)重要的。</p><p class="ql-block">Many years ago, I used to enjoy collecting art. In today’s society, there are many counterfeit artworks, and without sufficient knowledge to identify them, my approach was to frequently view and appreciate genuine, high-quality art to enhance my artistic sensibility and ability to discern authenticity. The same applies to photographic art. I often visit top photography websites, especially 1x.com, to enjoy and learn from works of great artistic value, thereby improve my understanding of arts and inspiration. Therefore, having a vision in mind is the most important thing, followed by taking action and visiting beautiful locations during the right seasons to create. Of course, many of the scenes I capture may not seem particularly valuable at the time, but when I revisit the raw file during my leisure and scrutinize them, I often find more inspiration for post-processing. Modern landscape photography is inseparable from post-processing, so having solid post-processing skills is also crucial for producing a great landscape photograph.</p> <p class="ql-block"><b>Where do you look to find inspiration and what inspires you the most?</b></p><p class="ql-block"><b>你從哪里尋找靈感？什么最能激發(fā)你的靈感？</b></p><p class="ql-block"><b><span class="ql-cursor">?</span></b></p><p class="ql-block">我認(rèn)為所有的靈感都來自于想象，就跟寫作一樣，可能一個(gè)人經(jīng)歷事情的多少遠(yuǎn)比高超的寫作技巧要重要，首先腦子里需要有足夠的想象力才能寫的出通篇的文章。攝影也是如此，心目中有那片美麗的畫面更重要一些，這會(huì)促使我開始尋找他來自于哪里并去拍攝。我在ins上面關(guān)注了很多不同風(fēng)格的攝影藝術(shù)家，也經(jīng)常在1x首頁幾乎每天欣賞那些發(fā)表的作品，無論是人文，風(fēng)光或者是人像作品其實(shí)都會(huì)給我很多的靈感，因?yàn)閷W(xué)習(xí)別人的經(jīng)驗(yàn)并讓自己多一些靈感總比自己絞盡腦汁要來的容易一些。比如試圖在大自然中加入人的元素或者把人像融于到大自然都會(huì)給畫面產(chǎn)生點(diǎn)睛之筆的效果。所以說攝影也是自己經(jīng)歷的一個(gè)體現(xiàn)，腦子的東西多了自然會(huì)想變成畫面中拍攝到的現(xiàn)實(shí)。自然界有很多不同的天氣變化，哪怕是同一個(gè)地點(diǎn)當(dāng)我們?cè)诓煌臅r(shí)間段，不同的季節(jié)還有不同的溫度下去拍攝都會(huì)產(chǎn)生不同的效果。所以對(duì)于我非常熟悉的地方比如班芙，我會(huì)在不同的季節(jié)去那些熟悉的地方，一般會(huì)有很多靈感和新的東西來演繹。</p><p class="ql-block">I believe all inspiration comes from imagination, much like writing. The depth of one’s experiences often matters more than advanced writing skills. You need enough imagination in your mind to craft a complete piece of writing. It is the same as photography. Having that beautiful image in your mind is more important, as it drives you to seek out where it comes from and capture it. On Instagram, I follow many photographers with diverse styles, and I frequently browse the works featured on the homepage of 1x, almost daily. Whether it’s documentary, landscape, or portrait photography, these works provide me with a lot of inspiration. Learning from others’ experiences and gaining inspiration is often easier than racking your own brain. For example, incorporating human elements into nature or blending portraits with natural landscapes can add a striking touch to the image. Therefore, photography is also a reflection of one’s personal experiences. The more you have in your mind, the more naturally it translates into the reality captured in your photos. Nature offers many different weather conditions, and even the same location can yield vastly different results when shot at different times, seasons, or temperatures. So, for places I’m very familiar with, like Banff, I revisit them in different seasons, and I often find new inspiration and perspectives to explore.</p> <p class="ql-block"><b>Many people think that the gear is not very important when the passion for photography is strong.

We stayed at a campsite at the base of the mountain for two nights and, under a starry night, hiked for two and half hours to reach this spot. Not like many other photographers descended to the lakeside to shoot, I wanted to find the best position to center the peak in the frame and capture as much of the mountain's reflection as possible. After searching in the dark for a long time, I finally climbed onto a large rock and captured this shot of Fitz Roy Peak during the blue hour, with the mountain glowing softly. Photographers often say Patagonia has two golden sunrises—the first one is this stunning blue-hour glow on the peaks.</p> <p class="ql-block"><b>Who are your favourite photographers or mentors whose works have influenced you and your photography? </b></p><p class="ql-block"><b>你最喜歡的攝影師或?qū)熓钦l，他們的作品對(duì)您和您的攝影產(chǎn)生了影響？</b></p><p class="ql-block"><b><span class="ql-cursor">?</span></b></p><p class="ql-block">之前提到過2015年我剛開始接觸相機(jī)的時(shí)候有位攝影師幫我孩子拍攝過幾張照片讓我很難忘，我從此跟著他網(wǎng)上學(xué)習(xí)了幾年的攝影課程，他總是在閑暇時(shí)在一些group里免費(fèi)講一些攝影初級(jí)課，我為此受益良多。后來從去年開始我也自己成立了一個(gè)公益攝影群免費(fèi)為初學(xué)者講系列攝影課，希望把這種公益?zhèn)鞒邢氯ァ?019年底我開始購買了一些攝影后期課比如Thomas的，他曾經(jīng)拿過美國國家地理2019年的全球總冠軍和荷賽獎(jiǎng)，是位很棒的年輕攝影師。當(dāng)然，我也在關(guān)注Daniel Kordan,Marc Adamus,還有我們班芙著名的攝影師Paul Zizka等幾位優(yōu)秀的風(fēng)光攝影師。每年跟風(fēng)光攝影有關(guān)的攝影大賽獲獎(jiǎng)?wù)叨际俏页掷m(xù)關(guān)注的對(duì)象，這些人的拍攝風(fēng)格和地方都對(duì)我的拍攝產(chǎn)生了很多積極地影響并賦予我的照片更多的靈感。</p><p class="ql-block">As mentioned earlier, when I first started using a camera in 2015, a photographer took a few photos of my children that left a lasting impression on me. Since then, I followed his online photography courses for several years. He often offered free beginner photography lessons in some groups during his spare time, which I benefited greatly. Starting last year, I also created a public photography group where I offer free series of photography courses for beginners, hoping to pass on this spirit of public service. At the end of 2019, I began purchasing post-processing courses, such as those by Weimin Chu(Thomas Chu on 1x), who won the 2019 National Geographic Global Photographer of the Year award and received accolades at the World Press Photo contest. Of course, I also follow other outstanding landscape photographers like Daniel Kordan, Marc Adamus, and our local Banff-based photographer Paul Zizka. Every year, I keep a close eye on the winners of major landscape photography competitions. The styles and locations of these photographers have had a significant positive impact on my work, inspiring my photos with fresh ideas.</p> <p class="ql-block"><b>Now, since we have almost reached the end of this interview, I would kindly ask you to share with us your plans or photographic projects you would like to be involved in.</b></p><p class="ql-block"><b>現(xiàn)在，我們即將結(jié)束這次采訪，我希望你與我們分享您的計(jì)劃或你想要參與的攝影項(xiàng)目。</b></p><p class="ql-block"><b><span class="ql-cursor">?</span></b></p><p class="ql-block">風(fēng)光攝影既然是我的生活，那我的計(jì)劃就永遠(yuǎn)都是到世界上我沒有去過的地方探索和拍攝比如新西蘭，日本，格陵蘭島和南極等等。這個(gè)地球很大我還有很多地方想用我的相機(jī)去演繹我心目中自己的那片美景。這些地方可能在我的想象中已經(jīng)去過多次，形成過我自己的認(rèn)為美麗的畫面，但我依然要自己去拍攝，并帶著我的團(tuán)組和很多攝影愛好者們好好拍攝記錄這個(gè)美麗的世界。</p><p class="ql-block">Since landscape photography is my life, my plan is always to explore and shoot in places around the world that I haven’t yet visited, such as New Zealand, Japan, Greenland, Antarctica, and more. The Earth is vast, and there are still many places where I want to use my camera to capture the beautiful scenes I envision in my mind. These places might have already been visited many times in my imagination, forming my own ideas of what beauty looks like, but I still want to experience and photograph them myself. I also aim to bring my groups and photography enthusiasts along to capture and document the beauty of this world together.</p> <p class="ql-block"><b>Is there anything else you wish to add and what do you think about 1X as a home base for your work?</b></p><p class="ql-block"><b>你還有什么要補(bǔ)充的嗎？你認(rèn)為 1X 作為你經(jīng)常分享作品的大本營怎么樣？</b></p><p class="ql-block"><b><span class="ql-cursor">?</span></b></p><p class="ql-block">1x對(duì)于我來說是一個(gè)很棒的尋找靈感和學(xué)習(xí)的地方，同時(shí)可以檢驗(yàn)我自己拍攝的作品。這里有很棒的評(píng)委和會(huì)員們會(huì)給我的照片很多合理的建議和修改方向，這很棒，我在2020年的時(shí)候一年時(shí)間可能都沒有發(fā)表10張照片，隨著在這里的學(xué)習(xí)和我自己拍攝技術(shù)后期技術(shù)的提高，我在2024年一年就有100多張發(fā)表同時(shí)有103張Award,這在幾年前是不可想象的一個(gè)數(shù)據(jù)，讓我感到非常自豪。我每次都會(huì)把自己新的照片發(fā)到這里來，也變得越來越自信。非常感謝1x帶來的一切。</p><p class="ql-block">1x is an excellent platform for me to find inspiration, learn, and evaluate my own work. The judges and members here provide valuable feedback and suggestions for improving my photos, which is fantastic. In 2020, I published less than 10 photos in a year. However, as I continued to learn and improve my shooting and post-processing skills, I managed to publish over 200 photos in 2024, including 103 awarded photos. This was an unimaginable achievement just a few years ago, and it fills me with great pride. I now confidently share my new photos here every time. I am truly grateful for everything 1x has brought to my journey.</p> <p class="ql-block">如對(duì)風(fēng)光攝影團(tuán)和班芙旅游感興趣請(qǐng)加一下個(gè)人信息。感謝閱讀。</p>
