travel starts with photography

Chapter 9 The First Camera in Life

From shooting in the morning to four in the afternoon, today's task is finally over.

Chen Xing went back to the hotel to rest.

A group of hotel staff gathered together, flipping through the photos stored on the computer.

"How do you say this was filmed?"

"Yeah, we just had dinner, and now we're still hungry."

"It's like being able to smell it."

In fact, under normal circumstances, people who view the photos will only think that the food should be delicious.

But for these people who work in Guangzhou restaurants, they have been exposed to too many dishes in the photos, and some signature dishes are even ordered dozens of times a day, so after seeing the photos, the brain secretes a kind of information, let them I mistakenly thought I could smell that smell again.

Bu Yongfeng was lying on his chair without a sitting posture at all. His activity today is equivalent to his previous month's activity. After all, he is a group of chefs, and he seldom cooks by himself.

But looking at the waiters in front of them who were so surprised at the computer, Chef Bu still smiled like an aunt, feeling that today's hard work is worthwhile.

He had a hunch that this time the menu would be more successful than before.

For so many years, he has never seen any photographer who can completely lock the soul of a dish into a photo like Chen Xing. That kind of spirituality and charm are produced by many real chefs The dishes were not up to the mark.

After resting for a while, Chef Bu regained his strength, stood up and said to the waiter who was still looking at the photos: "I'll go back first, after you finish watching, remember to express your opinions in the work group, and then get off work early, everyone has worked hard today gone."

"It's not hard, it's not hard!"

Where did you work hard today.

More than 20 waiters and several hotel managers were well fed by Chef Bu and his apprentices.Thinking that there is still such a day tomorrow, the waiters are so happy that they are all looking forward to their stomachs digesting quickly, and tomorrow will come soon.

It's delicious and free, it's really pie in the sky.

Two days passed in a flash.

Chen Xing finished shooting all the dishes at three o'clock in the afternoon the next day.

The menu has already been prepared, and now the first version can be made by adding the names of the works shot by Chen Xing one by one. When the first version is approved by the hotel's boss, the previous menu can be replaced and this new one can be used.

This process takes about a week.

But it has nothing to do with Chen Xing.

With the full salary of 28888 and the 20000 red envelope given by Chef Bu, he boarded the plane to South Yunnan again.

A red envelope of 2 yuan.

Two thick stacks of hundred-dollar bills put pressure on the envelope that it shouldn't.

Zhou Peng was almost dying of jealousy.

Although he is a brother, he is still very jealous. He managed to get 2 yuan of daughter-in-law funds from his mother, while Chen Xing, who has always been poor, earned nearly 5 yuan in two days.

Literally sitting on a high mountain of lemons.

At the airport, Chen Xing was playing with the micro-cam he had just bought.

The first thing I did after getting my income in the afternoon was to search for a nearby digital store, and I bought my first camera in my life.

A Sony a7m3, a full-frame mirrorless camera.

In this era, if you want to buy a camera, you have four choices: SLR camera, mirrorless camera, card camera and film camera.

Among them, the film camera is used by industry leaders. It is said that the use of film will make the photos have a better texture, but now it has fallen behind the times, and few photographers who are new to the industry still insist on using film cameras.

How to say SLR, I feel that the status of the camera is gradually inferior to that of the film camera.

A mirrorless camera, also called a mirrorless camera, replaces the optical viewfinder of a SLR with an electronic viewfinder, so the body is lighter and thinner than that of a SLR, and with the advancement of technology, its functions are no worse than that of a SLR.

Chen Xing thinks that with the same performance, few people should abandon the lightness of mirrorless cameras and buy a heavy and thick SLR, right?
So he felt that the end of the SLR was inevitable.

The card machine is even lighter and thinner, and this thing can be put directly into the trouser pocket.

Compared with mirrorless cameras and SLRs, there are obvious disadvantages in terms of performance, so it is completely out of Chen Xing's consideration. It is estimated that if he has a little more money in the future, he may consider buying one to take with him to play with, and forget it now.

As for why Chen Xing bought a7m3 instead of better ones.

Of course there is not enough money.

What other reason?
Chen Xing studied the functions of the camera until he got on the plane.

Although he has the knowledge of these cameras in his mind, he probably remembers that it is different from the real experience of using it. Chen Xing needs a little time to compare the camera in his hand with the memory in his mind and get familiar with it.

After all, this is a camera that I will use for a long time, not a temporary one in the hotel.

Quan Jing took a few glances.

She really wanted Chen Xing to take some photos for her, but when she thought that Chen Xing had earned tens of thousands of dollars after taking two days of cooking, she didn't want to take the initiative to ask Chen Xing to take pictures of herself.

Zhou Peng didn't think too much about it, so he asked Chen Xing to take a few pictures.

When they got on the plane, the three of them sat in the same row. Zhou Peng quickly reached out and said, "Let me see how you take pictures of me. Hurry up!"

Chen Xing found his photo and showed it to him.

In the picture, Zhou Peng is sitting in Colonel Ken’s fast food restaurant at the airport, holding an iced Coke in his hand, looking at the side with a smile on his face, with that kind of expression in love, even if there is no second person in the picture, he can still guess this person Looking at his girlfriend.

"This is beautiful, I want to use it as my avatar."

Chen Xing smiled, and said: "I think so too, I'll send it to you when I get back, Quan Jing, take a look at this picture."

Flip a bit on camera.

The photo below is Quan Jing. She is doing the same thing as Zhou Peng in the previous photo. She is holding a Coke cup in both hands, smiling and talking to the people around her. Her eyes are like crescent moons, so that people outside the screen can feel her emotion. happy.

"Wow! This is me!" Quan Jing was pleasantly surprised.

"Well, now you can take it back as a couple's profile picture, tsk tsk tsk, I said I would not eat your dog food, but I still ate it."

If these two photos are put on the Internet, it is estimated that many couples will replace him with a couple's profile picture.

It seems that alone it only makes people happy to follow the people in the photo, but when you look at the two together, it is quite sweet.

"Thank you!" Quan Jing said.

She loves it!

"Why are you being so polite?"

After Chen Xing took the camera back from their hands, he didn't stop much during the two hours of the flight. He kept taking pictures on the plane, sometimes taking pictures of the small decorations on the plane, and sometimes taking pictures of the passing stewardesses.

Zhou Peng bumped Chen Xing's arm and whispered, "How is it, isn't it pretty?"

"pretty."

"When you come back, you can go to Sichuan Airlines, and you will find that Sichuan Airlines is more beautiful. Although China Southern Airlines is not bad, it is still a little bit worse."
