Chapter 54 The Milky Way is far away, and the stars are spinning
Soon Chen Xing returned to the tent, picked up the camera, picked up Mu Qing's tripod, and walked towards the Otana Snow Mountain alone.
The coach said that if he wanted to act alone, he had to tell him first, but now that the time was up, Chen Xing didn’t want to disturb anyone else’s dream, and he wouldn’t go too far. He just wanted to find a suitable place to use this snowy mountain to shoot this scene.
Starry Sky.
When taking starry sky, ordinary photos get relatively average feedback.
To shock people, you have to shoot time-lapse. Time-lapse photography is also a technique often used in photography. The process is similar to making stop-motion animation. Multiple pictures with the same shooting interval are connected in series to synthesize a dynamic video. p>
If you search for this type of video on the Internet, with the keyword "shooting the starry sky," there are tons of them.
But those are other people's starry skies, what Chen Xing wants is his own.
That is what is about to be filmed.
Generally speaking, people who shoot starry skies will come to test shooting spots during the day, find camera positions, and test compositions, because many places where starry skies are shot cannot be seen at night. This is a lesson learned by many photographers through blood and tears.
Sometimes you can only shoot based on your feelings.
But Chen Xing thinks it's okay, he can see the road clearly.
There is no haze like in the evening now, and he can see very far away in the snow. At least the yellow lights of his team's camp and San'ao Base Camp are as bright as a lighthouse on the sea in his eyes.
And pay attention to the following points.
It is best to shoot at the beginning or end of the month, so that the light of the moon will not dominate the scene and the starry sky will be more beautiful.
Secondly, the shooting environment must not have too much light pollution. Why is it difficult to shoot starry skies in the city? It’s because there is too much light pollution.
Secondly, the air quality should be good. Just like tonight, the wind and snow just blew away the clouds in the sky, forming such a clear and cloudless night sky. This is the best time to take pictures of the starry sky.
Chen Xing found the best composition point.
The snow-capped mountains form a triangular composition in the viewfinder, the starry sky is above the snow-capped mountains, and the Milky Way is like water in the sky, infusing the snow-capped mountains with pure ice and snow that will not melt for thousands of years.
Chen Xing set up the tripod, turned off anti-shake, and focused manually.
The ISO is set to 3,200 because Chen Xing feels that the current environment is okay. There is no darkness like the darkness in the suburbs of the city. The shutter speed is set to 20 seconds. If the shutter speed is too slow, the starry sky will be offline and the final product will be
A bit like Van Gogh's oil painting.
Huh?
Chen Xing suddenly stood up straight, a little confused.
Wasn't Van Gogh from the 19th century? How could he paint such a modern and imaginative starry sky?
What a great painter!
After realizing this, Chen Xing marveled at the imagination of his predecessors, and then continued tinkering with his camera.
Naturally, open the aperture as much as you want, and then click on the time interval photography function. This function is not available in cameras with slightly lower prices. The a7m3 can be considered to be more than the previous one, but it is not as good as the lower one. It is just on the dividing line between entry-level and professional. After setting up the camera, Chen Xing looked back at the base which was far away, took two steps back, sat down and lay on the snow.
It feels very comfortable to lie on the snow wearing a jacket. Dry snow will not melt so easily. Lying on such snow for a short time is like lying on a ball of cotton. It is definitely the best ergonomic recliner. Chen Xing also put his hands into his sleeves, put them under his head, and looked at the sky.
The Milky Way is far away, and the stars are spinning.
So beautiful.
It turns out that there are so many stars in the sky, and the universe is so big that it only lasts a moment in my life.
At this time, Chen Xing's heart was also very calm. His urgent desire to make money was covered up by this beautiful scenery. He only felt that compared to this universe, human life was too short, not to mention that he only had
One hundred years.
After a hundred years, everything will be dust.
A poem flashed through his heart, and he recited it in a low voice.
"Sadness comes, sorrow comes. Although the sky is long and the earth is long, the gold and jade are not kept in the hall. How many years of wealth can there be? Death and life are once for everyone..."
Stretching his right hand in front of his eyes, he shook his hand, and a pair of slender, calloused hands that would be a pity not to play the piano appeared in the moonlight.
"I have to finish the glass of wine. Alas, it's a pity that there is no wine now."
Li Bai is still chic.
Although he also had moments of depression, the poems he left behind have become indelible traces in human history.
The young Chen Xing, who is not yet twenty years old this year, clenched his right fist tightly under the stars in the sky and thought to himself: "I must be famous, just like Li Bai's poems and Van Gogh's paintings, I must be famous among mankind.
Leave your own traces in time."
Time passed. In the early morning, Chen Xing returned to the base and ate two pieces of bread. He put away the camera around two o'clock and returned to the base.
At this time, Wu Chunchun had just gotten up and was about to make beef stew for the students. When he saw Chen Xing, he subconsciously said hello: "Handsome Chen got up so early. Did you sleep well last night? You can't
Didn't you sleep?"
She suddenly said in surprise.
She saw the snow on Chen Xing's body and the tripod in his hand. Didn't this guy go take photos last night?
Chen Xing smiled shyly.
"You really didn't sleep? Then do you still have the energy to climb the mountain? And we said yesterday that we should act alone, right? Where did you go?"
"I took some photos, don't worry, it won't matter if I don't sleep for a day or two."
He really tested it. Some time ago, he stayed up all night playing Civilization 6 at home. The next day, he accompanied his parents to his grandma's house and spent a day fishing in the fish pond with his father. He didn't feel sleepy at all.
"Can this be the same? You..."
A tent suddenly opened, and coach Chen Zhibing came out and said: "Forget it, don't you know Chen Xing's physical strength? After six hours of training, he's as good as a normal person. Are you still afraid that he won't be able to climb up Otana?"<
/p>
"This is not Otana's business." She retorted, then turned back to Chen Xing and said, "Today we are only going to climb a small mountain, but in the future if you want to climb other dangerous or higher-altitude Xu Xueshan Mountains,
You must pay attention to your rest at night and don't stay up late."
Chen Xing thought in his heart - I stayed up all night just to avoid staying up late.
But without saying anything, he nodded and said: "I understand."
Wu Chunchun continued to stew beef with a stomach full of anger. The higher the altitude, the lower the oxygen, and the greater the physical exertion. She must prepare this beef meal well so that the students will have enough physical strength in the next few hours. Everyone got up one after another.
Chen Xing returned Mu Qing's tripod, and she stared at Chen Xing and asked, "Don't you even sleep?"
"If I go to sleep, then now is the time when I am the sleepiest, and then I have no energy at all."
Chen Zhibing took out a Snickers bar from his bag, two for each person, and said: "If you feel uncomfortable for a while, eat this, but don't eat it as a snack. Wu Chunchun made beef stew with Wujiang pickled mustard. Everyone
After eating until we are eight minutes full, we set off on time at 3:20."
