介绍（中）	古斯塔夫·勒格雷（Gustave Le Gray）的地中海和海峡沿岸海景中阳光，云和水的戏剧性效果震惊了他的同时代人，并立即为他带来了国际认可。在摄影乳剂对光谱的所有颜色都不同样敏感的时代，大多数摄影师发现不可能在一张照片中同时实现风景和天空的适当曝光;通常，底片的斑驳天空被涂上，产生空白的白色区域，而不是光线和大气。在他许多最具戏剧性的海景中，勒格雷在一张纸上打印了两张底片——一张暴露在海面上，另一张暴露在天空中，有时在不同的场合或不同的地点制作。尽管在这个例子中仔细考虑了阳光与反射的关系，并巧妙地打印了两张底片，但人们仍然可以看到两张底片在地平线上的连接。勒格雷的海洋照片引起了轰动，不仅因为它们对海洋和天空的同步描绘代表了技术上的巡回演出，还因为由此产生的诗意效果在摄影中是前所未有的。
介绍（英）	The dramatic effects of sunlight, clouds, and water in Gustave Le Gray's Mediterranean and Channel coast seascapes stunned his contemporaries and immediately brought him international recognition. At a time when photographic emulsions were not equally sensitive to all colors of the spectrum, most photographers found it impossible to achieve proper exposure of both landscape and sky in a single picture; often the mottled sky of a negative was painted over, yielding a blank white field instead of light and atmosphere. In many of his most theatrical seascapes, Le Gray printed two negatives on a single sheet of paper--one exposed for the sea, the other for the sky, sometimes made on separate occasions or at different locations. Although the relationship of sunlight to reflection in this example was carefully considered and the two negatives skillfully printed, one can still see the joining of the two negatives at the horizon. Le Gray's marine pictures caused a sensation not only because their simultaneous depiction of sea and heavens represented a technical tour de force, but because the resulting poetic effect was without precedent in photography.
