Art From Trash
將垃圾變爲藝術

Today when I went to throw the trash out at our communal trash collection area, I noticed a printed circuit board in the electronics recycling bin. Being the geek that I am, I took it out to see if it had any valuable parts on it so I can use it in future DIY projects, when a flash of inspiration hit me. The idea was simple: create mini cityscapes photographs from this piece of circuit board!

今天去社區的公共垃圾收集區丟垃圾時，我注意到電子回收桶裏面的一塊電路板。本來是想看上面有沒有值得拆下的零件留給未來一些DIY計劃使用，沒想到拿起來看到板子那一煞突然來一陣靈感。想法很簡單：從這塊電路板創造出迷你都市照片！

The Sunset
夕陽

I set up my camera on a tripod, placed the circuit board on my desk, and used my laptop's screen as the background. I found a suitable sunset image on my laptop and composed the shot. I also fired a flash underneath and behind the board to create this image.

我用脚架固定相機，然後將電路板放在桌上，筆電的銀幕當作背景，電腦上選出一張夕陽照片，一起和板子完成構圖。另外我在板子的後下方補了閃光燈完成此作品。

Break of Dawn
黎明

For this shot, I used a spot light with an orange filter from the left of the board, and a flash with a blue filter from the right.

這張我用了兩個光源，一個橘燈從板子左側照射，另一個藍閃燈從右邊打。

The Red Building
赤樓

For this shot, I used an image with the sun as the background, one light source from a lamp was used.

這張我從筆電上選出一張有太陽的照片當作背景，另外用一盞燈補光。

Rooms
隔間

I spotted this section of the board that looked like rooms separated by walls. I composed a top-down view with light coming from behind the board.

我發現這部分的板子看起來特別像房子的室内藍圖，我從板子後面打了燈光。

The Hub
中轉站

I used a light source behind this integrated circuit chip to make it look like a bustling transportation hub.

我從板子的背面打燈使得這顆集成電路芯片看起來像是繁華的中轉站。

Silos
筒倉

While I was playing with the direction of the light on various parts of the board, I noticed that a certain low angled light produced these long shadows across the board cast by capacitors. I chose an "aerial" shot of the capacitor "silos" and used an orange filter for the left light, and a purple light from the right.

當我在試各種不同角度的光源時，我發現有一個低角度的光會使板子上的電容的影子顯得特別長。因此，這張作品我選擇了"空拍"的角度拍"筒倉"，從左邊照橘燈、右邊照紫燈。
