Chapter 289 The world is beautiful, the world is worth it
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. p>
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.
The Buddhist temple seems very quiet late at night, and this popular temple does not make people feel the gloomy atmosphere. Since there is no door to block the outside, the sound of the rain is very loud, and it hits the leaves like a whip.
Same.
Chen Xing took a chair and sat down where he could catch the rain.
Rest your head on the recliner, play music on your phone, and place it on your abdomen with your hand.
The young man listens to Yuge upstairs, under the dimly lit tent with red candles.
A young man in his prime listens to the rain in a boat, the river is wide and the clouds are low, and the wild geese cry out in the west wind.
Now, listening to the rain at the foot of the monk's hut, there are already stars on the temples.
The joys and sorrows are always ruthless, every step of the way, until dawn.
Just like the system said before.
The world is beautiful and the world is worth living.
………………………………
【You spent a night in the temple and got cash yuan】
Chen Xing saw this news as soon as he woke up.
This surprised him a little. Aren't houses belonging to ethnic minorities also eligible for awards?
Chen Xing had not completed this long-term task for a long time. After reading the introduction, he realized that this task was to live in a building with a special heritage, not the house of an ethnic minority as Chen Xing thought before.
Although the building of the Buddhist temple originated from Asan, it also absorbed many architectural features of the Central Plains when it came to China. Of course, it is a building with a special heritage.
From this point of view, Taoism should also be acceptable?
There are really few Taoists nowadays. Chen Xing encountered many small temples during his travels, but Chen Xing has never encountered a Taoist temple. To be honest, this phenomenon makes Chen Xing afraid to think about it in detail.<
/p>
Taoism is China's native religion. Is it so weak now just because it doesn't make money?
If you think about it carefully, the decline of traditional Chinese culture is not limited to Taoism.
With a sigh, Chen Xing got up.
In the main hall next to it, the chanting sounds are catchy, and it should be the monks doing morning prayers. The Buddhist hall outside Chen Xing is because it has been raining all night, or because of the temperature difference between day and night or something, in short, it is on the roof
Some small water droplets condensed.
It must be very humid after living here for a long time, Chen Xing thought.
At least the roof of the cave must be moisture-proof and the door must be made, otherwise nothing in the house will be preserved for a long time.
China's ancient buildings are amazing in this aspect.
As long as there are people living in it, no matter how humid the house is or how bad the location, it will remain stable. But if no one lives in it for ten days and a half, the humidity alone will cause the inside of the temple to collapse.
These pillars are moldy.
Then came the collapse.
Feng shui is also a science, and many things about evil spirits have been explained by modern science.
Those things that cannot be explained scientifically cannot be said to be false.
It can only be said that science has not yet developed to that level.
Let’s first explain the acupuncture points of traditional Chinese medicine scientifically.
I went out to watch the monks chanting sutras, stretched my body a little, and then returned to the room to see if Seth had sent me any new emails.
Although he is in China, he is still very concerned about his photography exhibition.
It's a pity that he finally had his own photography exhibition, but he had to constantly provide resources in China and couldn't visit it.
Who told me not to take more photos of this aspect before?
But according to Seth, after this period of photography exhibitions and the popularity that Abbott spent a lot of money to create for himself, at least his attributes as a Chinese-style photographer have been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people in Europe.
This has advantages and disadvantages.
In the future, when Chen Xing shoots some urban blockbusters, no matter how good his shots are, he will be inherently shorter than those photographers in the West.
This is like an ancient singer singing modern songs. His skills are very good, but many listeners do not have such high music appreciation ability and they only think they sound good. Then there are professional pop singers on the other side who also sing very good.
The audience will subconsciously feel that pop singers are more professional.
On the contrary, when the singer sings ancient works, they will also think that the song is good and the singer is really professional.
In general, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.
Because the China of today is no longer the China of the past.
When you were traveling a few years ago, if you told people about Yanjing, they would not know where it was. But now when traveling abroad, those foreigners don’t mention Yanjing. They also know about Rongcheng and Jiangcheng.
There are more and more foreigners who can speak Chinese.
These are all precursors for the motherland to complete its great cause of rejuvenation.
After tidying up the room and picking up his backpack, Chen Xing went out and greeted the monks who had finished their morning classes, and then said, "Is it always so humid here?"
"Moist? Did the donor not sleep well last night?"
"Slept well, but I saw some dewdrops when I woke up in the morning."
"Oh, this doesn't matter, it happens all the time." The fat monk who was cooking said with a smile.
Chen Xing looked around, and there seemed to be no red boxes like those big temples outside that collect money, so he asked: "Do you charge money for sesame oil here? I want to donate some money to you and make something to prevent moisture. I can make it again."
A few doors would be best."
The old monk said: "No need, it's not easy to make money outside now."
Occasionally, he would take his disciples to nearby scenic spots to sell amulets, Buddhist beads, and the like. The income was barely enough for the people in the temple, and if there was more, there would be nothing left, so he knew how difficult it was to make money.
But Chen Xing also insisted again and again.
He originally wanted to donate 20,000, but seeing how kind they were.
It’s better to donate what you earn from here.
It’s hard to spend the money you got from the Buddha, so you might as well send it back to where it came from. Chen Xing didn’t know if he could build a door that could protect them from wind and rain for tens of thousands of dollars, but at least he did his best.
