石龍子本是日行性動物，但看來晚上的白蟻大餐實在不能錯過，要不分晝夜地開餐！

我們委託了大自然教育組織嗚鴉自然教室進行川龍動物群研究，這個畫面正是今年五月早期田野考察時所捕捉的。這張相片一個特點，就是電影畫面似的燈光。Project CROW 以自製柔光箱，打出柔和的光影，把石龍子和其獵食的形態清楚捕捉。

我們邀請生態和攝影愛好者在10月5日來到貫文空間，學習在戶外低成本打燈的方式。嗚鴉自然教室的關朗曦和鄭凱靈將帶領參加者落手落腳做自己的柔光箱，並拿著新裝備到室外一起試用！走進川龍村的時候，我們亦希望參加者能進一步理解昆蟲的多樣性，以及不同微距攝影的技巧和拍攝方法，拍攝到一張瓢蟲的肖像。

工作坊將由以下幾個主要部分組成

1／自製柔光箱

2／戶外大自然微距攝影

3／室內攝影工作室拍攝

4／即興沙龍

工作坊對象

• 對本地生態多樣性，尤其昆蟲有興趣的大眾
• 有涉獵生態攝影，或希望自製攝影裝備的攝影師

【 注意事項 】

1. 如遇惡劣天氣，於活動開始兩小時前，如八號風球、 黑色暴雨警告信號生效，為保障大家的安全，我們將取消活動，並以電郵╱電話通告。

2. 由於工作坊名額有限，如未能出席活動，煩請儘早聯絡我們，以讓其他參加者補上。

3. 我們建議參加者自行帶備慣用的相機和外置閃光燈。如果參加者主要以電話拍攝，或沒有使用外置閃光燈的習慣，亦能製作手持柔光箱。

4. 我們亦建議參加者穿著舒適的健步鞋和長袖衣物以防範猛烈陽光和蚊蟲。

Event Details

The skink is a diurnal species, but nighttime swarms of termites are too tasty a feast to miss!

Nature education initiative Project CROW captured this moment in May 2024, during the early phase of a visual research commission on the wildlife of Chuen Lung, Hong Kong. A special detail of this photo is the cinematic lighting—the gentle shadows outlining the skink and its prey were made possible by Project CROW’s very own DIY light diffuser.

On 05 October, we invite wildlife and photography enthusiasts to join us at Koon Man Space and learn about lighting a nature photoshoot on any budget. Matthew Kwan and Hoiling Cheng of Project CROW will lead participants through making their own diffuser and immediately head outdoors to experiment with the new gear! In doing so, we hope to encourage participants to appreciate the diversity of insects, learn alternative methods of macro (close-up) photography, and hopefully capture their own images of the majestic ladybug (or ladybird, if you please).

The workshop will comprise of the following main parts:

1/ DIY diffuser

2/ Outdoors macro photography

3/ Indoors studio shooting

4/ Impromptu photography salon

Target Audience

• People interested in local biodiversity, especially insects
• People interested and with experience in wildlife photography, looking to improve or even create their own gears

Remarks

1. The event will be cancelled if a Black Rainstorm Warning or a Tropical Cyclone Warning Signal No. 8 or above is issued two hours prior to the start of the workshop, workshop already in progress will continue; details of the arrangement will be notified via email or phone call.

2. As this workshop has limited capacity, if you are not available to attend after registering, please let us know in advance so that others can participate.

3. Participants are encouraged to bring their own camera and external flashlights. For participants using their phone for photography or without an external flashlight, handheld-diffuser can be made instead.

4. Participants are encouraged to wear comfortable walking shoes for protection, and long-sleeved attire is advised to shield sunlight and mosquito
