Chapter 289 The world is beautiful, the world is worth it(1/2)
When Chen Xing saw the photo coming out, Chen Xing's adrenaline surged.
Very happy.
Any exercise that requires waiting for a long time just for the moment of results will be addictive.
Just like a fisherman.
Before fishing, we make all preparations, including what fish we want to catch today, what bait we bring, what materials we use to attract this kind of fish, etc. But sometimes the final result is not as expected.
Just like the word "Air Force", it has become very popular.
But if he really catches the fish he wants, there is no doubt that this fisherman is happy.
The same is true when playing with a camera. You have been waiting for a day, or even a few days, for a picture in your mind. Now the results are out, and the photo is more beautiful than you imagined before. How can this not make Chen Xing feel excited?
p>
Just let him stay up tonight!
Thinking about it carefully, there is no shortage of power now, so I might as well take a group of starry sky photos here.
This location itself is the highest mountain in the surroundings, and it is the best place to take pictures of the starry sky. Moreover, this stone wall is so photogenic, so I changed the angle and took another starry sky picture with it as the scene, which is exactly the same style as the sunset.
.
It's a pity that there are no such good birds to cooperate at night.
A group of birds flying under the sunset is definitely the highlight of this picture... The key is that these birds were not added by Chen Xing in the later stage. If someone enlarges this picture in the future, they can vaguely see it.
It looks like a flock of flying birds.
After waiting for the sunset, Chen Xing now has to wait for the Milky Way.
The position of the Milky Way in the sky is not static. As the name suggests, it is a luminous belt-shaped object in the sky. Generally, it is invisible to the human eye, unless you are in places like Western Xinjiang and Tibet.
Otherwise, if you want to see the Milky Way, you have to try your luck.
The camera can capture light information invisible to the naked eye through time-lapse photography. With the built-in sensor of a good camera, the appearance of the Milky Way can be captured in the photo.
The sunset is the main meal, and now Chen Xing has eaten the main meal and stayed on the mountain for several hours for the dumplings in the starry sky.
Just after twelve o'clock, Chen Xing heard the sound of someone talking.
After a while, two monks came up with flashlights. When they saw Chen Xing still sitting on the mountain, they exhaled neatly and said, "Little brother, you scared us. Why don't you go down the mountain so late?"
?"
Chen Xing pointed to the camera and said: "I'm taking pictures of the starry sky. I'll be going down in two hours."
It's not possible at twelve o'clock. You have to take the photo at two o'clock.
The position of the Milky Way is not static in the sky. A group of celestial bodies as big as human beings cannot be locked by the earth like the moon. Therefore, if you want the Milky Way to become part of the composition of your work, you have to wait slowly.
There are many star map software on mobile phones that can see the position of the Milky Way at a certain point in time.
Chen Xing is a star chart of the human body that automatically identifies the positions of the planets in the sky.
"Then we can feel relieved."
Chen Xing said: "I'm sorry for making a few masters worried."
He just wanted to feel comfortable taking photos and didn't think about this.
But who knows how many people will always worry about whether they have gone down the mountain? With the indifference of modern society, even if Chen Xing did not go back, it is more likely that he went back directly instead of running to the top of the mountain in the middle of the night.
Confirm.
"It doesn't matter, let's go down first."
Another monk asked: "Donor, please stay in our temple at night. There is no hotel in the village outside us. If you want to find a place to stay, you have to walk for at least two hours. It is too far and not safe."
p>
Chen Xing nodded and said: "Then I'll trouble you."
The two monks didn't stay here to disturb Chen Xing. They didn't know how to take pictures, and there was nothing to talk about if they stayed. They might as well go down the mountain in advance so that they could arrange a room for Chen Xing.
Chen Xing had been dozing off just now, but now he has become more energetic after chatting with someone for a while.
The phone is almost out of battery, and Chen Xing doesn’t dare to continue playing.
The Milky Way is finally in place.
Chen Xing quickly took a photo.
Because there is no other industrial light around, the night sky is particularly bright. The stone wall Buddha statue in the photo also looks very bright due to the long exposure. It is almost another work that can be produced without post-production.
[The stars fall across the plains and the fields are vast, and the moon surges across the river. Your persistence is not meaningless. The world is beautiful and she is worth waiting for]
[Your control over wide-angle lenses increases]
I started by photographing food, and then gradually upgraded my ability to photograph portraits and architecture. Now my use of wide-angle lenses has also improved. Have I also improved my ability to control landscapes?
While the Milky Way is still there, Chen Xing took another photo.
Comparing it with the previous starry sky photo, it seems that the difference is not particularly obvious?
Chen Xing himself didn't feel there was much difference between the two pictures. I guess it can only be seen if they are enlarged, right? So he stopped studying and started packing up his things and heading down the mountain.
Judging from his experience as an astronomer, it will definitely rain again in an hour or at most two hours.
The drought continues throughout the south this year. Unexpectedly, it has been raining in just a few days in Jiangxi. If this continues, will I still be able to see Poyang Lake in the dry season? Don’t wait until you pass, and the water level will rise to the point where you can’t walk down.
reached the point.
It’s better to go there earlier and take a look.
The grassland-like bottom of the lake really makes Chen Xing's heart flutter.
There are lights in the temple, and you can see them from a long distance at night.
As we get closer, the familiar scent of burning becomes stronger and stronger.
This temple is built in a huge cave, and the whole is a slanted stone seam. When Chen Xing came down, there were monks chanting sutras in the room of the 'Mainxiong Hall', maybe waiting for Chen Xing.
Otherwise, the monks would have gone to bed by now.
Someone approached, and the monk opened his eyes alertly. When he saw it was Chen Xing, he said, "Donor, you are finally back."
"I'm sorry."
"Why are you apologizing? Come on, we've packed up a room for you. It's just a bit shabby, and I don't know if you can't live in it."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
He took Chen Xing to a nearby hall, and after pushing open a wooden door, there was a small room.
About four square meters.
There is a bed, a table, and inside is the wall of the cave. The wall is dark. It seems that the local people have been using this cave from a long time ago. They have burned the wall by lighting fires in the cave for many years.
Smoked to look like this.
And there is a lamp, so it’s nice to stay here at night in summer, at least it’s cool inside the cave.
The monk went out for a while, then quickly lit a mosquito-repellent incense, knocked on the door, and came in, saying: "We made this incense ourselves, and it is very effective in driving away mosquitoes. The donor must be very tired after resting so late, so I won't disturb you."
”
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter!"
They were too polite. Chen Xing was not used to this kind of friendliness.
It is said that modern society is becoming more and more indifferent, but it is because of this indifference that people feel a kind of warmth from the heart when they discover a little kindness in society. This kind of warmth can be passed on.

With Chen Xing's current treatment, if he encounters someone who needs help in the next period of time, can he not help?
The monk also went to sleep.
Chen Xing looked around and found a socket.
The country has nothing to say about infrastructure construction. Maybe there are still many places in this society that do not have access to the Internet, but at least electricity has been fully connected. This temple built on the mountain is relatively simple.
Chen Xing even knew that even a single hunter's cabin in the mountains of Tibet could enjoy the convenience of electric light.
Take out your notebook.
He can't sleep now, at least not until he edits the two photos taken on the mountain.
The films produced by Hasselblad all have very good colors, and Chen Xing is not prepared to touch the color grading.
He wanted to use these two photos to win awards, so he didn't have to do much color correction or retouching. He just wanted to enhance the contrast of light and shadow in some dark areas.
After repairing it, Chen Xing emailed both photos to Seth, and also put the photos on his personal website.
Let’s put it out on display first and wait until someone buys it.
Mr. Abbott has only signed his own contracts in Europe, so if people from other places are willing to buy Chen Xing’s works, they can still buy them on his website.
After finishing all this, Chen Xing heard it was raining outside.
He opened the door and went out.
To be continued...
