一条 Plog 里，我最后会留什么
同一个甜点拍了五张，最后留下的未必最清楚；我更在意它能不能让我想起那天。
What makes it into one of my Plog posts
手机里经常有一串差不多的照片。同一个甜点换了几个角度，路边的花拍了远景又拍细节，朋友笑的时候连按好几张。整理 Plog 时，真正花时间的不是修图，是删到只剩几张。
最清楚的照片不一定留下。有一张稍微糊了，但能看出我们边走边说话，我就会更喜欢它。餐桌的构图少了一角，却能让我想起当时坐在对面的人，也可能比摆得最整齐的那张更有用。
排顺序时，我会先把颜色和景别错开。人像后面放一张路或天空，近景多了就补一张远一点的。没有复杂规则，只是连续翻的时候不要每一张都像上一张。
文字最后写，而且尽量不重复画面。照片里已经有花，就不再写“今天看到了花”；可以写当时风很大、排了很久的队，或回去路上突然下雨。
最后留下的通常只有三四个瞬间。它们不负责证明这一天过得丰富，只要我以后翻到时，还能认出这是哪一个周末就够了。
Read the English versionI may photograph the same dessert five times, but the sharpest frame is not always the one I keep.
My phone often contains a run of nearly identical photographs: several angles of the same dessert, a wide view and close-up of roadside flowers, or a burst of frames while a friend laughs. The time-consuming part of making a Plog is not editing; it is reducing all of that to a few images.
The sharpest one does not always stay. If a slightly blurred frame shows that we were talking while walking, I may prefer it. A table cropped at one edge can bring back the person sitting opposite me more clearly than the neatest composition.
When ordering the images, I vary color and distance. A portrait can be followed by a road or a piece of sky. If there are too many close-ups, I add a wider frame. There is no complex rule; I just do not want every image to feel like the previous one.
I write the caption last and try not to repeat the photograph. If the flowers are already visible, I do not need to write that I saw flowers. I can mention the wind, the long queue, or the rain that started on the way back.
The final post usually contains only three or four moments. They do not need to prove that the day was full. It is enough if I can return later and recognize which weekend it was.
