The flowery Yuntai Garden, the sunset Baiyun Lake Park, the brightly lit Baiyun New Town, the unique Woyunlu and the ancestral hall of Song Mingxian Chen Dafu ......Photographer Chen Hantian freezes the romantic moments of exclusive white clouds through the lens of the camera.
As a member of the Baiyun District Photographers Association, Chen Hantian actively participated in the selection of "Ten Views of Baiyun in the New Era", and "spokes" for his hometown with dozens of exquisite photographic works. As a native of Baiyun, he has also witnessed the development and changes of Baiyun over the years.
Use the lens to show the beauty of white clouds.
Born in 1954, Chen Hantian is a native of Shabei Village, Jinshazhou, Baiyun District, and spent a wonderful childhood here. When he grew up, although he worked and lived in other districts of Guangzhou for many years, his concern and love for his hometown remained the same.
I am a Baiyun person, and I have been witnessing the development here for so many years, and what touches me the most is the changes in Jinshazhou. Chen Hantian said, "Jinshazhou is an island, and the traffic is extremely inconvenient. From the initial boats, ferries, to bridges, highways and subways to enter the continent, the way to travel is becoming more and more convenient;The creation of landscapes such as Jinshazhou Riverside Park has also made the living environment more beautiful. ”
To this end, he deliberately filmed in Jinshazhou, photographed representative scenic spots such as Woyunlu, God of Wealth Daxian Temple, Jinsha Cultural and Sports Plaza, Baiyun Children's Park, etc., and contributed to participate in the selection of "Ten Views of Baiyun in the New Era". "Having an affection for this place is the biggest motivation to create," he says. ”
In addition to Jinshazhou, the high-speed take-off of Baiyun New Town also left a deep impression on Chen Hantian. "From the original old airport, it has developed into a modern new city, with Baiyun International Convention Center, Baiyun International Conference Center International Hall and hotel group, Infinitus Plaza and other distinctive buildings, and the scenery of Baiyun New City has a lot of room for creativity. Chen Hantian said.
In this group of works, the architectural landscape is mostly presented in blues night scenes, where the deep blue sky and the lights on the exterior of the building complement each other, presenting a strong contrast between warm and cold, and also highlighting the lines and outlines of the building itself. "These buildings constitute the most beautiful landscape of Baiyun New Town, and they are also one of the 'Ten Views of Baiyun in the New Era' in my mind. He said.
He also said that the selection of "Ten Views of Baiyun in the New Era" is very meaningful, which can better promote Baiyun and attract more people to enter Baiyun, understand Baiyun, and discover the different beauty of Baiyun.
Photography is the process of artistic creation.
Chen Hantian's career as a photographer began after his retirement.
Before retirement, I was busy with work, but after retirement, I can finally relax, travel everywhere, and take pictures of the scenery. He said that under the recommendation of a friend, he began to get into photography, and since then he has embarked on the road of advancement from a "novice" to a "god".
In the past, when I went to a place, it was relatively simple for the eyes to see things. After learning photography, you will think about the story and beauty behind the images, and how to express them. Over the years, I have made a lot of friends through photography, and the biggest gain is to be happy. Chen Hantian said.
As a football enthusiast for more than 60 years, Chan believes that photography and football have something in common, that is, they are both competitive. "Whether it is an athlete or a photographer, you can't rest on your laurels, you have to learn through continuous learning and competition to know your own shortcomings, so as to continuously improve and break through yourself. To this end, Chen Hantian has participated in photography competitions to motivate his creation, and since 2011, he has won more than 700 awards at all levels. "It's not about winning awards, it's about enjoying the creative process and making progress at the same time. He said.
Taking his participation in the "Ten Views of Baiyun in the New Era" as an example, when photographing Infinitus Plaza, in order to prevent the words "Infinitus Plaza" from overlapping with the buildings behind it, he placed his camera on a tripod of more than 2 meters, and then used multiple stacks of moons to fill the gaps, and finally presented the streamlined curved aesthetics of the building with excellent compositional effect.
Photography is not as simple as taking a picture, but a process of artistic creation. The first is a hobby, in order to stick to it;Only by focusing on research and mastering technology can we achieve 'man-machine integration'. Constantly creating in different environments and according to various themes, over time, I have developed a pair of photographic eyes, and in the process of shooting on the spot, I have a feeling of 'touching the scene'. Chen Hantian said.
