travel starts with photography

Chapter 230 Young Man, What Camera?
"Is France fun? How's the school?"

As soon as Chen Xing got home, his mother asked such a question.

For a moment, Chen Xing felt that time had been rewinded. Did my cousin say the same thing when she got off the airport?
"It's okay, life is pretty good." Chen Xing put down his things first, and then said, "I rented a house in the past, the family is quite rich, and the food and lodging are pretty good, but I just miss the food at home. "

This sentence made my mother smile, and took Chen Xing to look at it for a while.

I want to say that Chen Xing has lost weight, but I can't tell...

Compared with when I went out in April, there is not much difference in figure, but I have changed my hairstyle. Before, Chen Xing had long hair for men. Sometimes he likes to tie a bun in the back of his head, and sometimes he combs it to a point. good-looking.

Short hair now.

"Why did you change your hairstyle? Like those who play football?"

Chen Xing said with a smile: "I might be busy in the future, so it's convenient to cut it short."

I don't know if it's only the boys in the art department who like to have long hair. Anyway, many people Chen Xing knows like it. They grow it, cut it, cut it and grow it again and again.

And don't make someone look sloppy just because they have long hair.

Many of the stars I saw on TV had mid-length hair when they had just washed their hair and hadn't done their hairstyle.

Mom hesitated for a while, then said: "It looks different from those who are engaged in art."

"Haha."

Chen Xing hugged his mother, then opened the suitcase and said, "I brought you perfume and cosmetics. However, many of my friends said that Japanese and Korean cosmetics are more suitable for us Asians."

Mom took it over and looked at it, rolled her eyes at what Chen Xing said, and said, "I think our own brand is the most suitable."

"Okay, I will bring you some back when the time comes, and you can see what is comfortable for you."

"Oh, don't worry about it, your dad will buy it for me, and you don't need to bring me any gifts. Really, I don't see you bringing me a daughter-in-law back after knowing so much. Let me tell you, you don't get married again, mother are old."

When Chen Xing secretly fell in love with others, his mother said not to fall in love early. It's only been a few years...

"Okay, I'm going to buy some food."

She's going to show off today.

But Chen Xing didn't want to eat home-cooked food when he came back today, he wanted to go to the square to eat hot pot.

In Paris, it's not pasta, all kinds of meat, and all kinds of bread. Chen Xing has long been tired of eating, and now he wants to eat two hot pot meals to nourish his stomach.

When others study abroad, they may have to get used to it for two days after returning to Sichuan Province, but Chen Xing doesn't need it.No matter how much he eats, he won't have diarrhea. This (iron stomach) skill, which he didn't like before, is probably very useful in Africa.

When eating at night, Chen Xing and his parents were sitting in the hot pot restaurant.

His good looks alone drove at least [-]% of the store's business, and the surrounding tables were always occupied, either by high school student girls, or young girls in their twenties, looking at Chen Xing almost drooling up.

Chen Xing also said that he would go abroad in a few days.

"Aren't you on summer vacation? Just come back for a few days this time?"

"Well, there is still something to do on Hong Kong Island. I am too lazy to come back after I went there, so I went directly to Africa for an internship."

"Going to Africa? Isn't that hot?"

"It should be fine. If it doesn't work, I'll be lazy and hide. I heard that if you don't bask in the sun, you won't be hot." Chen Xing comforted his parents.

In order to graduate early, sometimes you have to do what you have to do.

Said that Cao Cao Cao Cao arrived, Professor Nobel called Chen Xing at this time.

"I submitted the work for the photography festival to you, and the organizing committee liked it very much, haha, so I really don't understand what the people at the Paris Academy of Fine Arts are thinking. You can rest assured, and your work will be published the next day. It's a great location to start exhibiting at the Colosseum."

Chen Xing asked suspiciously, "Is there a Colosseum in Arles? The Colosseum in Ancient Rome?"

"Yes, it is a complete ancient Roman Colosseum, but its size and reputation are not as large as those of Italy."

"Professor, now I really regret not going to see it."

"As you said, you still have a lot of time to participate in the Arles Photography Festival, but this is the only chance you have to travel to Africa with us. If you want to be a good photographer, Africa is definitely for you. Can't miss it."

"Alright alright."

Chen Xing chatted with the professor for a while and then hung up the phone.

There was a girl next to her who thought she was good-looking, but when she heard Chen Xing speak French, the thoughts that appeared in her heart were suppressed at once.A boy who is handsome, well dressed, and speaks French so fluently, am I worthy to ask for WeChat?
So, sometimes good people are more likely to be single, that's it.

Chen Xing has been quite busy for the past few weeks, and it's finally time for him to rest. Chen Xing doesn't want to take advantage of these few days to go out for fun, that would be too tiring.I just stayed at home as a slob for two days. Anyway, my parents are cooking, so I can wash the dishes by myself at most.

I processed the documents a few days in advance, and boarded the flight to Hong Kong Island at NO.16.

After passing through the customs, Chen Xing saw his name among the crowd who picked him up from the airport.

"Mr. Chen, hello, welcome to Hong Kong Island, I wish you a smooth trip to Hong Kong Island, this is a small gift from us."

The person in charge of picking up the plane was a middle-aged elder sister with Liu Ruoying's hairstyle, gold-rimmed glasses, and a gentle voice.

The gift is pink paper.

To be precise, it is a flower made of paper, and I don’t know how it was folded, but it looks the same as the real thing when you hold it far away.Chen Xing did not expect to receive a flower made of paper when he got off the plane, which made Chen Xing develop a good impression of this sister.

Chen Xing said: "The plane is late, have you been waiting for a long time?"

"Fortunately, while waiting for your plane to arrive, my friend and I also drank tea at the coffee shop in the airport. You came today at the right time. There was a typhoon on Hong Kong Island a few days ago, and it rained heavily for several days in a row. "

The eldest sister chatted with Chen Xing in an easy-going manner, and this kindness made Chen Xing feel very relaxed.

She drove Chen Xing to a hotel in Central. The lobby of this hotel alone can accommodate hundreds of people standing. Looking at the flooring, maybe this lobby can also hold a dance party?The front desk is on the left side when you come in, and there are five girls in uniforms working.

After checking in, she said, "This is where we will hold a press conference two days later. You should rest early. Do you want me to take you around tomorrow?"

"No, I'll just see for myself."

"Well then, I wish you a pleasant trip. Tomorrow night, Mr. Wu wants to have dinner with you. Look..."

"Okay, just let me know when the time comes."

Watching the eldest sister back out with a smile on his face, Chen Xing looked at the room with a relaxed expression.

After entering the door, the first thing you see is a living room, next to the bathroom, and inside is a bedroom... It's actually a suite?
From the receptionist to this room, Chen Xing felt the sincerity of this company.Although I don't know much about this company yet, this kind of reception naturally makes people feel a lot more good.

Chen Xing took a shower and was going to read a book and sleep on the balcony of the living room.

But the scenery outside the window is colorful. There is an old man standing on the street singing downstairs. The voice can be faintly transmitted to the floor where Chen Xing is. The neon colors are messy. If you want to take a look at these colors, your eyes will be tired .

But isn't this what a modern city looks like?
Chen Xing took out his camera and took a picture, thought for a while, and put on his clothes.

Before daylight rolls around, take a look at nightlife on Hong Kong Island.

The current season is summer, and the daytime is a bit hot, but according to what my elder sister said, there was a typhoon and rain a few days ago, and now I feel a bit like a spring breeze when I go out, and the air after being washed by the rain is also extraordinarily pure.

Hong Kong Island is a window for China to the outside world. It has been influenced by many European countries for a hundred years. People here abide by traditional culture, but at the same time accept modern concepts, forming a unique Hong Kong Island culture.

Like the queue here.

Although it is night, orderly queues can be seen everywhere on the street, and their queues are not chaotic. I don’t know where I learned this habit. Anyway, I can’t see it in China, and France doesn’t queue up so seriously. of.

From time to time, Chen Xing took a camera to take pictures of people passing by.

There is actually a small surprise for the photographer here. Those beauties are less shy when they see the camera sweeping by, and they have more courage to face the camera, and they are more natural... Maybe the photographer here is too many?

The more cosmopolitan the metropolis, the more photographers there are.

After all, fashion companies in these places are concentrated, as well as entertainment companies, Internet celebrity companies, etc., and even more people take personal photos than other cities.

As for the photographer's training skills, at least Chen Xing trained his hand feeling to shoot beautiful women on the street.

Only shoot beautiful women, not nearly anything.

Therefore, if there is someone like Chen Xing, then a beautiful girl who knows how to make up, wears good clothes, and has a temperament, will walk around and someone will point the camera at you for no reason.

The more times you do it, the more you get used to it.

The sense of lens will naturally get better and better.

Chen Xing saw a girl in a flower stand by the street, gray sweatpants, army green tight tube top and umbilical suspenders, green hair, silver earrings, and a more sleazy temperament. When Chen Xing passed by, she was instantly caught attracted.

First took a picture, and then Chen Xing shouted: "Beauty, look this way!"

When she saw it, she was a little confused for the first time. Chen Xing took a picture of it, and then smiled naturally. The scene was so beautiful, Chen Xing took a few more pictures.

"Hi, can I come over here?"

Where she stood, Chen Xing could only take pictures of the road. It would be better to use the street as the background, especially the crowd on the street. This is definitely an excellent background board for street portraits.

Of course, sometimes there are better ones, but the crowd is wild, isn't it?

Before Chen Xing finished shooting, a person suddenly appeared at the edge of his field of vision, also holding a camera, and took several consecutive shots in an instant.

He was wearing a sun hat, and hung a Nikon camera on his chest. It seemed to be a D6. The body was very large and heavy. If a better lens was added, it would be difficult for ordinary people to hold it with one hand. move.

When Chen Xing looked over, he smiled at Chen Xing: "Young man, what camera do you have?"

"Ordinary camera, how about it?"

Anyway, better than you!
Chen Xing couldn't tell his camera, so he hid it aside.

"Cameras don't change quickly. If you just buy the best one, it will last a long time."

"Yes."

Chen Xing agreed perfunctorily, nodded to the dark-faced beauty, and left directly.

Before he had gone far, he heard a word behind him.

"Qiqi, who is he?"

"It's very annoying to take pictures!"

Chen Xing looked back, and the ordinary-looking D6 photographer was running away under the eyes of the 1.9-meter strong man. The beauty was trembling with laughter, and Chen Xing had the urge to take two pictures of her again.

Forget it, we won’t shoot those with boyfriends.

slipped.

Hong Kong Island at night seems to be the same as during the day. Some street shops are closed, but the catering industry is still open. Even some brand stores and jewelry stores on the road are still lit. From time to time, someone helps a beautiful woman enter.

There are so many beauties in Hong Kong Island.

Chen Xing only shoots those who are on orders, and sometimes he can't get enough of them.

I don't know what this street is called, but he always meets the kind of girl who makes his heart beat for a while... Just like the beautiful girl in suspenders that Chen Xing took a photo of just now, it's a pity that her boyfriend is here, and I think it will make her feel better when she arrives later. Help me lead the way.

After all, I just came here, so I couldn't find any interesting places on Hong Kong Island.

After passing a street, Chen Xing smelled a very fragrant smell.

It came from far away.

Chen Xing followed the smell to find it, and only after seeing the signboard on the trolley did he realize that it was selling fish balls.

He remembered that when he watched Hong Kong movies, he often saw fish balls on the scene. He thought that Hong Kong Island was not only the birthplace but also the development place. The fish balls made in cities near the sea must be the same, so he wanted to buy a copy and try it.

What I ate tonight was an airplane meal, and Chen Xing was hungry after walking around for so long.

The fish balls of the owner of this small cart are cooked and sold freshly, steaming hot. He doesn’t sell them on skewers, but puts them in a bowl with clips. The boss gave Chen Xing three fish balls, which are quite big, at least a grown man can’t eat them in one bite. into the mouth.

After receiving the fish balls, the boss asked, "It's the first time for a pretty boy to come to Hong Kong Island."

"Yes."

"Come here, I'll give you one more. The fish balls sold by our family are a time-honored brand. They have been selling since my grandfather's generation."

Chen Xing sees that he is not young anymore, and his family's craftsmanship has been passed down for a hundred years.

After thanking the boss, he found a place to sit down, and took a bite of the fishball.

Something is wrong!
It was quite elastic, a small part of the fish balls was eaten by Chen Xing, and the other fish balls caught by the stick rebounded violently, splashing the juice, and Chen Xing's face was covered with some juice.

His soup was cloudy and slightly gray, but tasty.

This kind of taste is matched with the elastic fish balls, and the fragrance seems to bounce back and forth, rampaging in the mouth...

"Mmm! It's quite delicious, boss!"

"Hahaha, is it enough, let me give you one more?"

"no, I'm fine!"

The boss thought that Chen Xing said it was enough, after all, the fish balls he made were relatively big, but Chen Xing quickly stood up and said:

"I'll spend money to buy it, and two more bowls."
