Barragán | Colored Walls & Water: Pink, Ochre & a Pool of Reflections

Several independent high walls stand on an open paved area, colored in saturated pink, ochre yellow, and purple. There are no openings or decorations on the walls, only a square hole through which water falls from above into the pool below. The pool is a shallow and wide rectangular water surface, not deep, its main function being to replicate the wall's colors onto the ground. Large empty spaces are left between the walls, and the strong sunlight makes one side of each wall bright and the other dark. There are only a few trees around, no flowerbeds. Shoot under strong light around noon, with the wall colors, falling water, and water reflections as the three main points of the image. Avoid: adding decorations and windows to the walls, adding railings to the pool, planting rows of vegetation, adjusting colors to low saturation.

幾道獨立的高牆立在開闊的鋪面上,顏色是飽和的粉紅、赭黃與紫,牆上沒有任何開口或裝飾,只有一個方形的洞讓水從高處落進下方的池裡。池是一個淺而寬的矩形水面,水不深,主要的功能是把牆的顏色複製到地面上。牆與牆之間留出大片的空,強烈的陽光讓每道牆各有一面亮、一面暗。周圍只有幾棵樹,沒有花壇。正午前後的強光下拍攝,牆的顏色、落水與水面倒影是畫面的三個重點。避免:牆面加入裝飾與開窗、水池加設欄杆、種植整排植栽、色彩調成低彩度。
