相比方便的數碼相機，20世紀流行的大片幅相機追求的，不是「快」，而是「極致」。您會驚嘆於其無與倫比的細節描繪力；
源於文藝復興時期的便攜式暗箱(Camera obscura)，以小孔成像技術將現實畫面直接捕捉到平面上。
是次工作坊將帶領新手學員們體驗傳統攝影的光學原理及大畫幅相機x即影即有機背基礎操作。
大片幅相機光學攝影體驗工作坊
日期：1月17日(星期六)
時間：下午4時半至6時正
地址：葵芳Magnet Place 1座603 托勒密博物館展廳
收費：$120/1人
適合從未使用過大片幅相機的新手體驗活動，相機及材料由本館提供。大家將輪流使用一台相機，建議與朋友一同報名互相拍攝。
活動內容包括：
1.「追光者：西方古典望遠鏡的視界」光學主題古董展覽專業導賞
2.介紹透鏡光學原理、分享攝影歷史與演變
3. 針孔相機前身-暗箱光學原理解構
4. 4×5大片幅相機機身x即影即有機背攝影操作演示，參加者可輪流簡單體驗其操作及拍攝照片。每位參加者可以於活動完結時取走1張屬於自己的即影即有照片。
參與活動將獲贈托勒密博物館「全場消費滿$20減$10」及「下次參與活動9折」2張優惠劵，使用限期直到2026年12月31日。
*註:本活動並不會使用傳統菲林。
大片幅相機是什麼？
使用4×5（inch）規格以上底片的傳統相機，操作上和常見數碼相機、小型菲林相很不同，沒有自動化技術輔助，拍攝者需完全人手調控對焦、測光、快門上弦等動作。
相比方便的數碼相機，大片幅相機追求的，不是「快」，而是「極致」。 它代表的是一種純粹、深刻且無可替代的攝影哲學。您會驚嘆於其無與倫比的細節描繪力。
Compared to convenient digital cameras, the large-format cameras popular in the 20th century pursued not “speed,” but “ultimate” detail. You will marvel at their unparalleled ability to depict detail;
Originating from the portable camera obscura of the Renaissance era, they used pinhole imaging technology to capture reality directly onto a flat surface.
This workshop will guide beginners through the optical principles of traditional photography and the basic operation of large-format cameras with instant camera backs.
Large Format Camera Optical Photography Workshop
Date: January 17th (Saturday)
Time: 4:30 PM to 6:00 PM
Address: Ptolemy Museum Exhibition Hall, Room 603, Tower 1, Magnet Place, Kwai Fong
Fee: $120/person
This workshop is suitable for beginners who have never used a large format camera before. Cameras and materials will be provided by the museum. Participants will take turns using one camera; it is recommended to register with a friend to take photos of each other.
The event includes:
- A professional guided tour of the “Light-Chasers: The Vision of Western Classical Telescopes” exhibition on optics-themed antiques.
- Introduction to the principles of lens optics and sharing of the history and evolution of photography.
- Explanation of the optical principles of the camera obscura, the precursor to the pinhole camera.
- Demonstration of a 4×5 large-format camera body with instant camera back photography operation; participants can take turns to experience its operation and take photos. Each participant can take home one instant photo at the end of the event.
Participants will receive two coupons from the Ptolemaic Museum: $10 off purchases of $20 or more and 10% off their next event. These coupons are valid until December 31, 2026.
*Note: This activity will not use traditional film.
What is a large format camera?
A large format camera is a traditional camera that uses film of 4×5 inches or larger. Its operation differs greatly from common digital cameras and small film cameras. There is no automation technology to assist; the photographer must manually control focusing, metering, shutter cocking, and other actions.
Compared to the convenience of digital cameras, large format cameras do not pursue “speed,” but rather “extreme.” They represent a pure, profound, and irreplaceable photographic philosophy. You will be amazed by their unparalleled ability to depict detail.
