蜂鳥翅膀像彩虹一樣閃閃發(fā)光的神奇照片
Just when we think we’ve seen everything, nature finds another way to amaze us. Artist and photographer Christian Spencer was spending the day on his verandah in Rio de Janeiro when he noticed something wonderful. The sun striking the wings of a Jacobin hummingbird, producing a beautiful prism effect. At that moment, it looked as if the tiny birdy was a tiny flying rainbow.
就在我們以為自己已經(jīng)看到了一切的時候,大自然卻以另一種方式讓我們驚奇。藝術(shù)家兼攝影師克里斯蒂安·斯賓塞在巴西里約熱內(nèi)盧的自家陽臺上度過了一天,這時他注意到了一些奇妙的事情。陽光照射在雅可比蜂鳥的翅膀上,產(chǎn)生了美麗的棱鏡效果。在那一刻,這只小鳥看起來就像一道小小的彩虹。

It created is a prism effect which makes it look as though the creature’s body is as colorful as a rainbow
它創(chuàng)造了一種棱鏡效果,讓它看起來就像彩虹一樣五顏六色
“There is no special technique, just diffraction of light through the wings of this special hummingbird”
“沒有什么特殊的技術(shù),只有光通過這種特殊蜂鳥翅膀的衍射。”
In 2011, Spencer captured the bird’s movements for a film called The Dance of Time. Since then, it has received 10 international awards as well as three best film honors. But there were more rainbow hummingbirds to come. A few years later, Spencer revisited the subject. “I decided to try and photograph the same phenomenon with my camera,” he said. His latest creative endeavors resulted in a series called Winged Prism, and for Spencer, the images reveal “a secret of nature that cannot be seen with our eyes.”
2011年,斯賓塞在一部名為《時間之舞》的電影中捕捉到了這種鳥的動作。從那時起,它已經(jīng)獲得了10個國際獎項以及3個最佳電影獎。但彩虹蜂鳥還會飛來。幾年后,斯賓塞重新審視了這個話題。“我決定試著用我的相機拍下同樣的現(xiàn)象,”他說。他最新的創(chuàng)作成果是一系列名為“有翼棱鏡”的作品,對斯賓塞來說,這些照片揭示了“我們?nèi)庋蹮o法看到的自然秘密”。
Spencer said he didn’t use any digital manipulation while creating the series. “There is no special technique,” he explained, “just diffraction of light through the wings of this special hummingbird.”
斯賓塞說,他在創(chuàng)作這個系列時沒有使用任何數(shù)字操作。“沒有什么特殊的技術(shù),”他解釋說,“只是光通過這種特殊蜂鳥翅膀的衍射。”
“Nobody ever could have ever dreamed that this was a reality. I receive emails every day from people across the world touched by these images.”
“沒有人會想到這是真的。我每天都收到來自世界各地被這些照片感動的人們的電子郵件。”
