travel starts with photography

Chapter 54

Soon Chen Xing returned to the tent, picked up the camera and Mu Qing's tripod, and walked towards Autina Snow Mountain alone.

The coach said that if you want to act alone, you have to tell him first, but Chen Xing doesn't want to disturb people's dreams at this time, and he won't go too far, he just wants to find a suitable place to borrow this snow mountain to shoot this piece of starry sky.

When shooting starry sky, ordinary photos received relatively average feedback.

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.

If you search for this kind of video on the Internet, you can find a lot of it with the keyword "Shooting Starry Sky".

But those are other people's starry sky, what Chen Xing wants is his own.

That is what is about to be filmed.

Generally speaking, people who shoot the starry sky will come to take test shots during the day, look for the camera position, and test the composition, because many places where the starry sky is shot can’t see anything at night. This is the lesson of many photographers’ blood and tears. Time can only be shot by feeling.

But Chen Xing thought it was okay, he could see the way clearly.

Now there is no mist like in the evening, he can see far away in the snow, at least the yellow lights of his team's camp and San'ao base camp are as bright as lighthouses at 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 be too overwhelming, and the starry sky will be more beautiful.

Secondly, if the shooting environment does not have too much light pollution, why is it difficult to shoot the starry sky in the city?It is because of too much light pollution.

Secondly, the air quality should be good, just like tonight, the snowstorm just blows away the clouds in the sky, forming such a cloudless and clear night sky, this is the best time to take pictures of the starry sky.

Chen Xing found an optimal 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, filling the snow-capped mountains with pure ice and snow that will never melt for thousands of years.

Chen Xing set up the tripod, turned off the anti-shake, and focused manually.

The ISO is set to 20, because Chen Xing feels that the current environment is not bad, without the darkness of the suburbs, and the shutter speed is set to [-] seconds. If the shutter speed is too slow, the starry sky will be out of line, and the final product will be dark It's a bit like that painting by Van Gogh.

Huh?
Chen Xing suddenly stood up straight, a little confused.

Wasn't Van Gogh from the 19th century?How did you draw such a modern and imaginative starry sky?

What a painter!
After Chen Xing realized this, he was amazed by the imagination of his predecessors, and then continued to tinker with his own camera.

The aperture is naturally as wide open as possible, and then click on the interval photography function.There are no cameras with this function at a slightly lower price, and the a7m3 is more than enough than the above, just right on the dividing line between entry-level and professional.

After setting up the camera, Chen Xing looked back at the base which was already far away, took two steps back, sat down and lay down on the snow.

It feels very comfortable to lie on the snow in a jacket. Dry snow will not melt so easily. Lying on such snow for a short time is like lying on a large ball of cotton. It is definitely the best ergonomic recliner .

Chen Xing also put his hands into his sleeves, put his pillow under his head, and looked at the sky.

The galaxy is far away, and the galaxy is turning.

So beautiful.

It turns out that there are so many stars in the sky, the universe is so big, my life is short.

At this time, Chen Xing's heart was also very calm. The very urgent idea of ​​making money was concealed by this beautiful scenery. He only felt that compared with this universe, the life of human beings is too short, let alone that he only has 100 years time.

After a hundred years, everything is dust.

A poem flashed in his heart, and he read it in a low voice.

"Sorrow comes, sorrow comes, although the sky is long, the earth is long, gold and jade are not guarded, wealth and honor can be counted in a hundred years, and death and life are once for everyone..."

The right hand was stretched out in front of the eyes, and with a shake, a pair of slender, callous-free hands, which would be a pity not to play the piano, appeared under the moonlight.

"And you have to use up all the wine in the glass, alas, it's a pity that there is no wine now."

Li Bai is still unrestrained.

Although he also had times when he was depressed, the poems he left behind have become indelible traces in human history.

The young Chen Xing, who is not yet 20 years old this year, clenched his right hand tightly under the stars and thought to himself: "I must be famous, just like Li Bai's poems and Van Gogh's paintings, I must be famous in the time of human beings." leave their mark.”

Time passed, Chen Xing returned to the base in the early morning, ate two pieces of bread, put away the camera around two o'clock, and returned to the base.

At this time, Wu Chunchun just got up and was about to stew beef for the students. When he saw Chen Xing, he subconsciously said hello: "Handsome Chen woke up so early, did you sleep well last night...??? You won't Didn't sleep?"

She suddenly said in surprise.

She saw the snow on Chen Xing's body and the tripod in his hand. This guy didn't go to take pictures last night, did he?

Chen Xing smiled shyly.

"Didn't sleep? Then do you still have the spirit to climb the mountain? And yesterday we said that we should tell us to act alone, right, where did you go?"

"I took some pictures, don't worry, it doesn't matter if I don't sleep for a day or two."

He really tested it. Some time ago, he played Civilization 6 at home all night. 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 was suddenly opened, and coach Chen Zhibing came out, saying, "Forget it, don't you know Chen Xing's physical strength? After six hours of training, he looks like a normal person. Are you afraid that he won't be able to climb up Otana?"

"It's not Ao Taina's business." She retorted, then turned to Chen Xing and said, "Today we are only going to climb a small mountain, but if you want to climb other dangerous or higher-altitude snow-capped mountains in the future, you must Pay attention to rest at night and don't stay up late."

Chen Xing thought from the bottom of his heart—I stayed up all night just to avoid staying up late.

But he didn't say anything, nodded and said, "I see."

Wu Chunchun continued to stew the beef full of anger. The higher the altitude, the lower the oxygen, and the greater the consumption of the body. She had to finish this meal of beef so that the students would have enough energy for the next few hours.

Everyone got up one after another.

Chen Xing returned Mu Qing's tripod, she still stared at Chen Xing and asked, "Aren't you sleeping?"

"If I sleep, then now is the time when I am most sleepy, and that is when I have no energy at all."

Chen Zhibing took out a Snickers bar from his bag, unwrapped two of them, and said, "Eat this if you feel unwell for a while, but don't eat it as a snack. Coach Wu made stewed beef with Wujiang mustard. Everyone eats it." We are full at eight, and we will leave on time at [-]:[-]."
