SteemitPhotoChallenge #11 Entry 1 --“Blue is 3 degree's below Zero" 零下3度的蓝..


“Blue is 3 degree's below Zero "



The story behind the photo^^


Another cloudy day with a hint of rain, typical of London at this time of year. I woke a bit later than usual and peered outside and saw a greyish blue sky. I have a rummage through my wardrobe and find the some clothing suitable for a cloudy day in London. My ever warm and trendy hat, and a long drapey coat catch my eye first.

A hat is essential when living in London

London's wind reminds me of an stylist sometimes, in the afternoon and evening, it helps blows me a new hairstyle, then just as brisk as it comes, it leaves silently by dusk. I need a hat because it keeps my hair in check, but even moreso to avoid getting headaches from the strong winds.

The long coat is comforting to my spirits

On a cold, cloudy and windy day, a long coat gives me a sense of security and comfort. I'm less scared of being blown over by the wind. Believe or not, it has happened in the past!

The colours of a cloudy day

When facing a grey blue cloudy day, I've chosen a blue hat, an ice blue coat, dark blue jeans, grey shoes, and a grey blue clutch bag to complement London's gloomy day. I really like the coat's side button design, it gives a simple coat some extra flair. The middle slit of the coat also allows me to have some breathing room as well as retain the shape of my legs which would otherwise be covered.

Its not tomorrow land
The distance between you and fashion is 0.1mm

It's actually not difficult to be fashionable, you don't need extravagent or exaggerated clothes to look the part. I'm sure all of you have all of these items in your own closets. The points to remember are:

  1. Your expression should match the environment and setting.
    I came to 64 South Audley Street looking for a pair of shoes which I've wanted for a long time. Usually they are a tad too expensive but during their sale, I was excited to pick them up cheaply. Unfortunately, I was too late and the shoes were already sold out, and next season there will only be that style of shoes for men. As you can imagine, I was very disappointed so I left the store and rested against a pillar. As if the weather sensed my disappointment, it started raining and I could feel the temperature drop a few degrees too. And that's how this "3 degree's below zero" picture came to be.

  2. A pose that complements the background
    In the picture on the left are some stairs leading to a distant background obscured by the pillars. Just behind is a long street which add's perspective to the picture, kind of reminds me of something from the movie "Tomorrowland". I extend my legs slightly towards the camera to aggrandize the length of my legs. (Long legs always look better!)


    照片背后我的故事
    又是一个阴天带点小雨的日子,我很晚醒来,拉开窗帘,看了一眼灰蓝色的天空。我从衣柜里取出“伦敦阴天标配”套装——帽子和长款大衣。
    在伦敦生活,我需要一顶帽子
    其实伦敦的风也是一名艺术家,它在中午和下午的时候帮你吹出一个全新的发型,又在黄昏和晚上默默离开,留下你一个人安静的结尾。我需要这顶帽子,用来固定我的发型,也用来防止风吹得头痛。
    长款的大衣给我心灵安慰
    长款的大衣在阴天里让我感觉温暖,让我看上去强壮一些,不容易被突然的大风吹摔倒,当然也许只是大衣带给我的心灵安慰。
    阴天的色系
    面对蓝灰色的天空,我选择了蓝色的帽子、冰蓝色的外套、蓝色的牛仔裤、灰色的鞋子和蓝灰色手包来回应伦敦的阴天。我喜欢大衣斜扣的设计,它让简单的款式看起来不平淡,衣服的下摆剪刀式的开衩,给我一个机会穿长款大衣时也可以显露腿部的线条。
    这不是明日世界
    ——你离时尚只差0.1mm, 你所需要的只是:

  3. 事情和环境激发你的表情:我来到64 SOUTH AUDLEY STREET为了找一双我喜欢了很久的鞋子,但是太贵了,听说最近开始打折, 想去看看。很遗憾店员告诉我鞋子sold out,下一季同系列也只会出男款。我有点遗憾走出商店,靠在门口的柱子上, 突然天上滴起了小雨,瞬间感觉空气的温度又降了几度,然后就有了这张照片和我这张零下3度的脸(表情)。。

  4. 配合场景或道具的Pose:画面里左边的楼梯通向被柱子遮挡的远方,我身后有一条长长的街道,很有透视感,让我想起了电影《明日世界》。我选择柱子作为我的道具,靠在柱子上,脚尖延伸向照相机的方向,让我的腿变得修长。
