Ink droplets in motion snag top prize in Nikon Small World contest
摘要
2026年尼康小世界显微摄影比赛结果揭晓，25岁德国实验摄影师Ole Bielfeldt凭借喷墨打印机将墨滴沉积在纸上的图像获得第一名，从来自69个国家的1802件参赛作品中脱颖而出。他在新冠疫情期间因发现旧显微镜而对显微摄影产生兴趣，自学搭建转接装置并拍摄日常物体的影像。为捕捉墨滴落纸的瞬间，他拆解打印机、让纸张在固定打印头下移动，并在暗室中以闪光灯充当快
A 25-year-old German experimental photographer has won the 2026 Nikon Small World photomicrography competition with a striking image of droplets of ink being deposited on paper by an inkjet printer. Ole Bielfeldt beat out 1,802 other entries hailing from 69 different countries.
Bielfeldt became interested in photomicrography during the COVID-19 lockdown after discovering an old microscope in his parents' attic. He figured out how to build an adaptor out of a tube and some wood to connect the microscope to his father's camera and taught himself the art through trial and error, building custom tools as needed. He documents how he captures transformative images of everyday objects with behind-the-scenes videos posted to macrofying, his photography and videography brand.
It was Bielfeldt's curiosity about the inner workings of inkjet printers that inspired his winning entry, but capturing the action of ink drops being deposited on paper was a challenge, given that the process happens so quickly. The droplets, for instance, moved faster than the camera's shutter speed. Bielfeldt's solution was to deconstruct the printer so that the paper moved under a stationary (rather than moving) printhead, and then take the image in a dark room, using a flash to serve as the shutter, thereby freezing the ink drops mid-air. There was no need for pricey equipment. Bielfeldt does not use AI in his images, preferring to rely on traditional techniques.
