Chapter 2: Deja vu, but they are real acquaintances

Returning to the hotel in the evening, Ma Xiaoliang started a routine of photo retouching. Since his freshman year, photo retouching has become his daily life. From being cautious at the beginning to being insensitive now, with the continuous changes of various photo retouching software, photo retouching has become more and more difficult. It is becoming more and more simple, and the characters are added with various filters. Although they are very beautiful, they appear unreal.Whenever Ma Xiaoliang sees these unreal pictures, he is always a little dismissive. Of course, as he grows older, he no longer shows off his sharpness, but starts to give all kinds of compliments, no matter what they are given, they are all good, good, good, good, okay. OK OK.I just occasionally remembered that I had taken some pictures in pure manual mode without any filters. However, after I deleted the content of the blog and logged out, nothing left any mark on it.

The moonlight was very bright tonight. Ma Xiaoliang opened the curtains of the hotel. The moonlight passed through the glass. The city outside was bustling with traffic. Luoyang today seemed to be more lively at night than during the day.Ma Xiaoliang prefers to work at night than during the day. There is a laptop on the computer table in the hotel, a tablet on the bed, and three mobile phones next to the computer.At this moment, Ma Xiaoliang suddenly thought of the familiar Hanfu woman whom he had photographed during the day. He thought of her smile and frown, and thought that women today were so thin-skinned. They usually looked at photographers when they saw her. Did the camera actively ask to be photographed?So I took out the photos from the camera and felt that they were similar, maybe they just looked a little bit alike, but Ma Xiaoliang almost forgot what he looked like.Now that it’s taken, it’s time to repair it. Ma Xiaoliang chose not to use any filters, but chose PS to repair it bit by bit.You must know that Jiuzhou Lianqu is a famous attraction in the Sui and Tang Botanical Gardens, which restores the ancient charm of Luoyang during the prosperous Tang Dynasty. Every year during the Peony Festival, countless people come here to play and take photos. There will always be a glimpse of it that will shock people and become famous on the Internet.

Polishing it bit by bit, Ma Xiaoliang didn't know why it took so long for him to practice it. After all, he hadn't taken portraits for many years, so it was a bit awkward to practice it again now.The people in the photo seem to have come from afar and then moved away elegantly. Ma Xiaoliang, who has experienced a lot, retouched them calmly until he felt they were perfect.After finishing the repair, he found that there was nowhere to post, not to Weibo, WeChat Moments, or Toutiao, but he didn’t dare to post. After all, he didn’t want people to comment, let alone let people know that he had photographed people. Now he only has QQ. He once used QQ by himself. I have 3900 friends. As the avatars disappeared one by one over the years, many were slowly deleted. Now there are less than 10 left. Most of them are friends I have known in Shunde for many years. I am sorry to delete them, although most of them have WeChat. , but I still think I should keep QQ. After all, the circle of friends may not be real friends, but QQ space is definitely friends for many years.

At 1 o'clock in the morning, after finishing the picture editing, Ma Xiaoliang chose one, posted it to QQ space, and named it four words: Deja Vu.Then I turned off the computer, watched some TV shows, and began to fall asleep.The next day, I saw a reply in the QQ space that had been silent for many years. When I opened it, I saw it was a comment on this picture: What is so familiar, you have even forgotten her?However, it will be deleted dynamically within 1 minute.Ma Xiaoliang is very curious, who is she?At this time Xu Liang replied: "You guys meet again?" Not long after, Zhang Qiang also sent a WeChat message: "Xiao Ma, you went to Luoyang? Did you see Zhao Cui again? Why don't you tell your brothers, but The photos were well taken, as good as your ability to take pictures of people back then. After so many years, we didn’t dare to mention it. We didn’t expect that you would actually meet again.”
