Use your camera to take pictures of the starry sky, and then put Van Gogh’s starry sky together in your circle of friends, or check in on the news on station B.
Expressing that he has been to the places where Van Gogh once visited.
He thought he had a good idea.
But how could he be the only one to think of such a thing? There were so many photographers standing around in this small square, all of whom had the same thoughts as Chen Xing, they just came earlier or later.
Chen Xing came earlier and took the best position first.
After setting up the tripod, they both sat on the bench next to them and waited.
Because this place is really famous, people who admire Van Gogh or some arty people come here all year round to check in. There are many convenient facilities around, and the rows of benches were set up by the local government for tourists here. p>
Gradually, all the people sitting on these benches were photographers waiting for dark, and they didn’t move for a long time.
It's possible that you stood up on your front feet and wanted to take a few steps to move around. Immediately afterwards, someone came over and sat on the seat where you just stood up, then gave you a smile and said: "Good brother..."
Because this incident happened right next to Chen Xing.
The surprise on Hedwig's face didn't stop. It was the first time she saw so many photographers.
Tourists didn't even come close to it, but gathered around from afar, taking pictures of this rare scenery with their mobile phones.
There are not as many foreign photographers as Chinese people imagine, so they rarely see rows of cameras like this. But it is different in China. You are likely to see them in any park in a big city.
The group of photographers taking pictures of birds by the river.
But not as much as here now.
Even the bearded brother on the right of Chen Xing said: "I have never seen so many photographers taking pictures of the same scenery."
This man was very enthusiastic. When he first sat down, he introduced himself to Chen Xing Hedwig. He is a photography enthusiast from Norway, and of course he came here for this Arles Photography Exhibition.
He is in his forties or fifties, a little taller than Chen Xing at 1.9 meters tall, and has an unshaven beard.
Some people seem to be handsome if they have beards.
There are not only photographers but also several painters here. They wanted to sit in front of the camera before, but the photographers jointly resisted. Everyone used wide angle or even super wide angle to take pictures of the stars. No matter how they sat, as long as they were in front of the camera
will enter the screen.
The dark night finally arrives amidst the anticipation of countless people.
Today was indeed cloudless as Chen Xing had guessed. Even if there were a few clouds, it would not affect them. Photographing the starry sky required a long exposure time, and a large number of photos had to be taken for synthesis. After the synthesis, the clouds would no longer be visible, and there would only be one.
Pure night sky.
There are two types of photographers taking pictures of the starry sky, one is the Milky Way and the other is star trails.
Chen Xing has photographed the Milky Way before, and this time he is planning to take the Milky Way. He personally thinks that the Milky Way is the most beautiful thing in the night sky. And more people here are planning to take pictures of star trails. If there are stars in the photo, it will undoubtedly
It will be closer to Van Gogh's paintings.
Although Chen Xing also wanted to imitate Van Gogh's starry sky by the Dalona River, as an independent artist, he should also have his own aesthetic.
The house in the distance may be to imitate the light in the painting. As soon as it gets dark, the lights are turned on. The warm yellow light shines on the river, stretched very long by the sparkling river water. If this picture were only
It must be beautiful to take a night view.
But it also affects the shooting of the Milky Way.
Shooting of the Milky Way requires high sensitivity and a large aperture, and the light damage in the external environment is very small; shooting of star trails has a relatively low sensitivity, and the aperture can be smaller, but the requirements of the external environment are not as high as that of the Milky Way.
Since this cannot be avoided in the early stage, it can only be adjusted slowly in the later stage.
The surrounding photographers were very excited. The bearded brother sitting on the right of Chen Xing didn't know if it was his first time to take pictures of the starry sky. He kept staring at his camera, with the light in the river reflected in his eyes, and he looked very energetic.
Hedwig dozed off and leaned on Chen Xing's shoulder to breathe evenly.
Chen Xing shook her awake and said, "Shall we go back?"
"Are you leaving? What time is it."
"It's almost early morning."
Chen Xing also said something to Brother Beard, and turned around to take Hedwig away, but she kept looking at the Dalona River after she stood up.
"It's beautiful, isn't it?" Chen Xing said in the past.
"Yeah."
"You can go out and see more in the future. Don't you also pay attention to sketching when painting oil paintings? Just like a few of them."
Chen Xing pointed to the painters who came with their own benches and easels.
They are all young.
Even if you are not young, you probably won’t be able to withstand staying up late like this.
The photographer just set the parameters and waited nearby, but the painter was different. Chen Xing also saw that they brought a small lamp hanging on top of the painting for illumination, and by the way, they could also see the color adjustment clearly. Light pollution, light pollution, I guess many photographers here don’t like them.
But Chen Xing felt it was inappropriate when he said it, and said: "It's better not to do it. Don't go out alone at night."
Hedwig was just thinking that Chen Xing was so handsome and romantic. When she heard him shaking his head and saying this, he laughed out loud and said, "Didn't you bring me out? I've never been out at night." p>
"Then let's go back and see what Arles is like late at night."
The street is still very bright. Although there are relatively few street lights, many houses have a small light installed under the eaves to illuminate passers-by. I just don’t know whether these small lights are installed by the owner of the house or by the government.
Europe is very peaceful at night.
French people basically don’t go out at night. It’s not a safety issue. The main reason is that there is nothing outside at night, so what are you doing out there?
Only some big cities have specialized night markets, and there are not as many vendors as there are in China.
The French, or Europeans, tend to be more comfortable. It is enough to work for a few hours during the day to make a little money. When you retire, you will naturally have a lot of pension, and you don’t have to get up early and stay late thinking about doing business.
Hedwig was a little scared walking like this, so she held Chen Xing's arm all the way.

"I want to visit your country. If I want to change my nationality, is it easy to get Chinese nationality?"
"It's not easy to get." Chen Xing said.
At present, the most difficult thing in the world to obtain is Chinese nationality, even if you are rich or talented. Many foreigners who have lived in China for a long time, you think they have a nationality, but in fact they only have a residence permit, or even no residence permit.
They are illegal immigrants.
But...
There are some tricks.
"Then I..." Hedwig was a little nervous and wanted to say how about marrying Chen Xing.
But when Chen Xing looked over, she flinched.
"Let's go back quickly."
After arriving at the hotel, Hedwig went directly to the room to sleep. Chen Xing took some photos and posted them on the news feed.
Then a fan immediately commented: "That's it?"
"Why don't you post a video!! Another day of being dominated by grandma."
Chen Xing had just sent out the news at this time, and they appeared within a refresh time.
Do you live in Bizhan?
Chen Xingfa's last video was considered a good advertisement, but this Hasselblad review has become popular on the travel channel and photography channel. It has excellent editing and color grading, a suitable soundtrack, and the appearance of the work "Fo Guang".<
/p>
The number of views has reached the highest in the history of Chen Xing’s works, and it is now close to 4 million views.
It can be called the treasure of the new generation of station.
The number of fans who have not been there for a long time has increased by more than 200,000.
It can only be said that editing videos carefully will always pay off, and by the way, it also increases the popularity of photography in China.
Chen Xing scrolled through the comments on the video for a while, stroking his chin and thinking - was Hasselblad's advertising fee underpaid?
………………
The next few days were nothing special, except that I had a photography partner when I was doing street photography. A photography partner is my partner in street photography. The two of them can chat when they go out together, and the shooting becomes a lot more interesting. p>
Hedwig's camera was bought at the second-hand market in Arles. On Chen Xing's suggestion, she bought a Fuji x70. As a young and artistic person, a Fuji is the best choice. Chen Xing is envious of the direct-viewing effects of Fuji cameras. Chen Xing takes pictures of people, Hedwig takes pictures of backs, buildings, everything.
As long as the composition is right, anything you shoot with Fuji film style will feel great.
Seth is also back in Arles this weekend.
Chen Xing went to Perenna Gallery to find him, and Hercule Abbott, the boss behind the scenes, was also there.
The door of the office was open, Chen Xing knocked a little, and Abbott immediately said with a smile: "The great photographer is here, come and let us see how you took the picture of the Buddha. Is it true that Huaxia
Are there so many beautiful scenery?"
Seth was also very happy and reminded: "Boss, it's not a Buddha statue, it's "Buddha's Light""
"It's all the same."
Chen Xing sat down on the sofa next to him and said, "Mr. Abbott, I haven't seen you for a long time. How are you doing lately?"
"I'm very good. What I'm looking forward to most now is to hang your latest works in our gallery. How about the day after tomorrow? I can clear out a whole floor of the gallery for your photography exhibition."
"I'm sure there's nothing wrong with me. I've done everything I need to do." Chen Xing shook his neck from side to side and said tiredly.
Originally, these few months were supposed to be his vacation, but right after the vacation, he went to Africa with his professor to endure hardships. Then he took photos everywhere in order to improve the quality of his works, but he could only make do with them.
Fortunately, I finally took a photo in Wuyuan that made Chen Xing very satisfied.
Seth crossed his hands and listened to the boss talk a lot about how much he liked Chen Xingxin's works, and then reminded: "Many collection institutions have already bid, in addition to our country, the United Kingdom, India, and even China
."
Chen Xing's ears perked up when he heard about Huaxia and asked: "Huaxia? Who wants to buy it?"
"It's the Contemporary Art Museum in Shanghai. The price they give is very low, so you don't have to think about it. But if you don't care about the price, you still have a piece of work that I think is very suitable for them."
"What is it?"
It is definitely a good thing to have works abroad, as it can increase your reputation and make money, but after all, China is its own country.
"You have a photo of an old man in the countryside..."
He searched for it on the computer and found the Tibetan Zhuanshan Old Man.
