Rebirth of top photographers

Chapter 189 Large format performance monster! (colorful)

"Yes." Chen Pingsheng nodded and poured himself a cup of tea.

Mr. Fan is very particular here. There is a complete set of tea sets on the table. The secretary helped make the tea. He raised the tea cup and found that it was covered with dark blue glaze, which looked dotted and quite delicate.

"Are you sure about it?" After Yu Xiang asked this question, he felt a little silly. Chen Pingsheng had already won an award, so naturally he must be sure about his work before he would continue to submit it for awards.

"It depends on the feedback after publication." But Chen Pingsheng was not too confident, because in any award ceremony, there is a principle of not giving too many awards to the same person.

After all, if you give too many awards to one person, it will make people feel that the judges are biased and unfair, and it will easily make people question their professionalism.

"Tell me about it? Brother Chen?" Yu Xiang's curiosity was instantly piqued, and he asked Chen Pingsheng about his new work.

Chen Pingsheng did not explain, but simply explained: "It is a photo album with a very unified style. It will be published in June."

This is the latest deadline given to him to change the text.

"Okay, I will definitely buy two more copies then!" Yu Xiang said fiercely.

"Why?" Chen Pingsheng was a little confused.

"You don't know, Brother Chen, President Zheng Guotai and his group of old men are so powerful in fighting. They are present in all the major bookstores in the capital, and they have basically sold out all the books of "The Crow". I just bought one copy!" Yu Hibiki was speechless. He didn't dare to discuss it with President Zheng, so he could only say a few words in secret.

Chen Pingsheng nodded, knowing who he was talking about.

This president is very famous in the circle, not only because of his unique loud voice, but also because of the activities he organizes.

The fighting power and energy of these old mages can be said to be quite amazing. Every year, they launch a photography event across the country to take pictures of scenery.

And they do have money in their hands, and they have all the good equipment, cameras, and lenses.

Every time I shoot, it’s a long shot and a short shot. It’s extremely spectacular and always causes waves on the short video platform.

But people go their own way and don't care about public opinion.

Chen Pingsheng actually admires this kind of person for being able to carry out his hobby of photography and never waver.It has also benefited countless middle-aged and elderly people and taken them to travel around the mountains and rivers. This kind of life is actually very good.

Sometimes he also thinks about what he will do when he gets old. He may be more leisurely than he is now, but he probably still wanders around the world with a camera.

That night, after the two people accepted Mr. Fan's banquet, they went straight to the next shooting location.

Next was an interview with a popular singer, and the little girl Li Feier accompanied them.

But there isn’t much to talk about in this shooting.

After filming, Chen Pingsheng returned to South China.

Sitting in the car, he felt that the airport was almost like a subway, and he was very familiar with going back and forth. He was even considering buying a house next to the airport.

"Hello, how are you?" Suddenly Chen Pingsheng received a strange call.

The younger brother's voice came from the phone: "Is this Mr. Chen?"

"It's me." He thought the voice sounded familiar.

"You have a courier arriving." It turned out to be the courier boy who had been delivering the goods.

"I'm still on the way. Why don't you wait for a while and then deliver it?" Chen Pingsheng looked out the window and felt that it would still take half an hour for him to go back.

"Yours is too heavy. I'll put it in the store for you."

"Okay, can I also pay the money to the store?"

"Huh? No need, this is not collectable."

Chen Pingsheng suddenly realized that he had thought wrong. This was not something from the system. It should be a new product sent by Fei Ming.

"Oh, okay, then you can put it in the store."

By the time he arrived downstairs, it was already six o'clock in the evening. After taking out a large package from the express store, he couldn't hold it with both hands, so he had to carry it home.

"It's heavy."

In front of the sofa, Chen Pingsheng looked at the package in front of him and opened it bit by bit with scissors.

Then I discovered that the painting style of this new Feiming camera was getting weirder and weirder.

The huge fuselage, the tough shell, and the whole body are white, like a huge box containing treasures.

"What kind of camera is this?" He frowned, opened it, and then his face froze.

"Large format?"

Yes, what was displayed in front of him at this time was a large-format camera, and judging from its craftsmanship, the back of the lens body was all connected together, as if it were a digital steel behemoth.

Chen Pingsheng needed both hands just to pick it up, and its weight was ridiculous. Carrying this thing was like lifting iron at any time.

He picked up the instruction manual next to him and read it for a while, and found that it was exactly what he thought.

This thing is a monster!

Its full name is Feiming LG810.

8*10 CMOS sensor, comes with 900G storage space, built-in electronic shutter, and supports SD card slot.

Supports 16bit, 32bitTIFF and RAW, DNG, JPEG.

There are also built-in color filters for shooting in color.

On the premise of large size, various digital functions are added to make it more convenient and practical.

But there are also disadvantages, such as its sensitivity is only ISO2100 and ISO6400, and its weight reaches 15kg.

There is nothing wrong with the so-called lifting of iron. No wonder Fei Ming’s cooperation is to take it on a trip.This thing can’t be used for street photography!

Chen Pingsheng looked at the camera speechlessly. Although, as a photographer, he was very positive about Feiming's exploration in the camera field, but in the current market, how can such a monster with both performance and weight really survive? Space!

You know, there are only a few photographers in the entire photography world who take pictures with large formats!

Chen Pingsheng looked at the introduction book beside him, which described in detail the various functions of the camera, as well as the innovations made by Feiming.

But more importantly, they also wrote about the pricing range.

When Chen Pingsheng saw this string of numbers, his scalp was numb. 8 US dollars?
Is this price really attractive enough to buy?

What is the point of doing this?

He really wanted to ask Feiming's engineers and board of directors why they launched such a giant when the camera market was not yet fully established.

Is it to show off your strength?

Or sell it to some large photography company?
Anyway, he couldn't figure out who would use this kind of thing.

But now Chen Pingsheng didn't care about that. He was rubbing his hands together excitedly and looking at the large-format camera in front of him with great covetousness.

What could be more attractive than this thing!

fall in love?Don’t even talk about dogs!

Chen Pingsheng immediately put the battery into the camera according to the instructions, and then connected it to the power source to charge. It would take a whole day to fully charge this thing.

Now he could only watch without moving, and his body was itching as if there were dozens of ants crawling on it.

"Just in time, the large-format tripod I bought before can come in handy."

Since what Feiming mailed was a large format, Chen Pingsheng had to start planning for the next trip.

The work he is planning to shoot this time has a very poetic name.

"Beiliu Live"

It is the work of Chinese photographer Zhang Kechun. The name is taken from the sentence "The river is vast and the north flows lively" in "Wei Feng Shuo Ren".

It means that the water of the Yellow River is white and flows into the sea from the north.

This poem comes from the pre-Qin Dynasty. The author's name is unknown. It is one of the poems in "The Book of Songs: Wei Feng".

Zhang Kechun's work captures the scenery and modern scenes along the Yellow River in China. It does not simply use documentary photography to present it, but treats the entire picture in an extremely light and poetic way.

Chen Pingsheng liked the content expressed in it very much. It was a feeling of danger hidden in the undercurrent, which was disturbing.

But at the same time, the mist that permeates the picture and the soft tones of sandy yellow and ash, as well as the large areas of blank sky, drinking water, river beaches, and people as tiny as ants in the scene all set off the vast atmosphere of the Yellow River. .

This work was shot in large color format and retains the traditional composition and techniques of Chinese classical painting to show the poetry in traditional Chinese painting.

This is why Chen Pingsheng chose it.

The freehand brushwork of landscapes is not something that can only be expressed in black and white.

He wanted to use this work to tell the Chinese photography community that if you want to inherit the new Chinese beauty, you don't have to follow the old ideas.

Color can also be used to express it perfectly.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but touch the large-format camera in front of him, feeling that it came at just the right time.

But before that, we still need to communicate with Lauren.

At nine o'clock in the evening, "Lauren, I'm curious, why do you want to develop such a big thing?"

"Are you shocked? Chen!" Lauren asked excitedly.

"It was definitely a bit of a shock."

Lauren chattered: "I was shocked when I heard the news. It was so bold! I even thought our engineer had gone crazy!"

"Yes, haven't you considered the consequences of not being able to sell?" Chen Pingsheng couldn't help but say.

"Of course! No! Why should we consider this matter? Photographers need a large format and a digital large format. The LG810 will be their first choice, although the cost is indeed a bit expensive." Lauren replied.

"Okay." It seems that Feiming is still very confident about the new product.

Chen Pingsheng can only wish them to achieve their sales targets and avoid bankruptcy.

"Chen, I hope you can use this camera to take something that will shock the photography world!"

"I hope so too, Lauren."

"I can't wait to see its work!" Lauren's tone was full of anticipation.

Chen Pingsheng shrugged and responded: "Uh-huh."

After confirming the next itinerary with Lauren, Lauren said that Feiming would send the money after tomorrow.

Of course, it is through domestic companies.

This camera was also mailed from a domestic company.

After the two of them finished chatting, Chen Pingsheng looked at the clock and then at the LG810 that was being charged in the living room, and felt that it should be able to be turned on.

So he immediately walked to the living room and smiled: "Come on, baby, let's see how capable you are!"
