travel starts with photography

Chapter 300 Another Day of Doves by Grandma

Use the camera to take pictures of the starry sky, and then put Van Gogh's starry sky together in Moments, or check in the dynamics of station B.

Said that he had been to the place where Van Gogh had been.

He thought he had a good idea.

But how could he think of this kind of thing alone?There are so many photographers standing still in this small square, they all have the same thoughts as Chen Xing, they just come earlier or later.

Chen Xing came earlier and took the best position first.

The tripod was set up, and the two of them sat on the bench next to them and waited.

Because the place is really famous, there are people who admire Van Gogh all the year round, or some arty people come here to check in. There are many convenient facilities around, and the rows of benches belong to the local government for tourists who come here.

Gradually, these benches were full of photographers who were waiting for the dark, without moving their nests for a long time.

It is possible that you stand up on your front feet and want to take two steps to move around. Immediately afterwards, someone will come and sit on the seat where you just got up, and then smile at you and say, "Good brother..."

Because this incident happened next to Chen Xing.

The surprise on Hedwig's face didn't stop, it was the first time she saw so many photographers.

The tourists didn't even come close, and they surrounded themselves in the distance, taking pictures of this rare scenery with their mobile phones.

There are not as many foreign photographers as Chinese people imagined, so they rarely see such rows of cameras.But it is different in China. In any park in a big city, you may see a group of photographers shooting birds by the river.

But not as much as here.

Even the bearded brother on Chen Xing's right said, "I've never seen so many photographers shooting the same scene."

This person is very enthusiastic. He introduced himself to Chen Xing Hedwig when he just sat down. He is a photography enthusiast in Norway. Of course, he came here for this Arles photography exhibition.

50 years old, 1.9 meters tall, slightly taller than Chen Xing, with an unshaven beard.

Some people seem to be handsome with beards.

There are not only photographers but also a few painters here. Before they wanted to sit in front of the camera, the photographers jointly boycotted them. Everyone used wide-angle or even ultra-wide-angle to shoot the starry sky. No matter how they sit, as long as they sit in front of the camera will enter the screen.

The night finally came in the anticipation of countless people.

Today, as Chen Xing guessed, there are no clouds in the sky. Even if there are a few flowers, it will not affect them. The exposure time required to shoot the starry sky is very long, and a large number of photos need to be taken for synthesis. After the synthesis, the clouds will no longer be visible. Pure night sky.

There are two types of starry sky for photographers, one is the Milky Way and the other is the star trail.

Chen Xing has photographed the Milky Way before, and this time he plans to photograph the Milky Way. He personally thinks that the Milky Way is the most beautiful thing in the starry sky at night.And more people here are preparing to take pictures of star trails. If there are smears of stars in the photos, it will undoubtedly be closer to Van Gogh's paintings.

Although Chen Xing also wanted to imitate Van Gogh's starry sky by the Darona River, as an independent artist, he should also have his own aesthetics.

The houses in the distance may be to imitate the light in that painting. The lights are turned on as soon as it gets dark, and the warm yellow light shines on the river, which is stretched very long by the sparkling water. If this picture is only It must be beautiful to take a night scene.

But it also affects the shooting of the Milky Way.

The shooting of the Milky Way requires high sensitivity and large aperture, and the light pollution in the external environment is very small; the shooting of star trails is relatively low-sensitivity, and the aperture can be smaller, and the requirements for the external environment are not as high as the Milky Way.

Since this cannot be avoided in the early stage, it can only be adjusted slowly in the later stage.

The photographers around were very excited. The bearded brother sitting on Chen Xing's right didn't know if it was his first time to take pictures of the starry sky. His eyes kept staring at his camera, and the light in the river reflected in his eyes, which made him look very energetic.

Hedwig dozed off, leaning on Chen Xing's shoulder and breathing evenly.

Chen Xingyao woke her up and said, "Shall we go back?"

"Going away? What time is it?"

"It's almost morning."

Chen Xing also told Brother Beard, and turned around to take Hedwig away, but after she stood up, she kept looking at the Darona River.

"Isn't it beautiful?" Chen Xing went over and said.

"Ah."

"You can go out and see more in the future. Don't you also pay attention to sketching in oil painting? Just like them."

Chen Xing pointed to the painters who came with their own benches and easels.

All are young.

If you are not young, you probably can't stand staying up all night like this.

The photographer just set the parameters and waited by the side, but the painters are different. Chen Xing also saw that they brought a small lamp and hung it on the painting for lighting, and by the way, they could also see the color tone clearly.

Light pollution, light pollution, I guess many photographers here don't like them.

But Chen Xing felt it was inappropriate when he said it, and he ordered: "It's better not to, don't come out alone at night."

Hedwig was thinking that Chen Xing was so handsome and romantic. When he shook his head and said this, he laughed out loud and said, "Didn't you bring me out? I've never gone out at night before."

"Then go back and see what Arles looks like late at night."

The streets are still very bright. Although there are relatively few street lights, many houses will install a small light under the eaves to illuminate passers-by.I just don't know whether these small lights were installed by the owner of the house or the government.

Europe at night is very peaceful.

The French basically don't go out at night, and it's not a safety issue. The main reason is that there is nothing outside at night, so what do you do when you come out.

Only some big cities have special night markets, and there are not as many vendors as Huaxia.

The French, or the Europeans, tend to be more comfortable. It is enough to earn a little money by working for a few hours during the day. When they retire, they will naturally have a lot of pensions.

Hedwig was a little scared walking this way, and walked with Chen Xing's arm all the way.

"I want to visit your country. If I want to change my nationality, is it easy to get Chinese nationality?"

"It's not easy to hold." Chen Xing said.

At present, the most difficult thing in the world to obtain is Chinese nationality, even if you are rich and talented. Many foreigners who live in China for a long time, you think they have nationality, actually only have a residence permit, or even no residence permit. Is an illegal immigrant.

but……

It's a bit of a trick.

"Then I..." Hedwig was a little nervous, wanting to talk about how she would marry Chen Xing.

But when Chen Xing looked over, she flinched.

"Let's go back quickly."

After arriving at the hotel, Hedwig went straight back to her room to sleep. Chen Xing fiddled with the photo and posted it on the feed.

Immediately afterward, some fans commented: "That's it?"

"Why don't you post a video!! It's another day of being dominated by grandma."

Chen Xing just sent out the news at this time, and they appeared within a refresh time.

Are you living in Biz Station?
The last video posted by Chen Xing can be regarded as a proper advertisement, but this Hasselblad evaluation has become popular on both the travel channel and the photography channel, with excellent editing and color correction, suitable soundtrack, and the appearance of the work of Buddha Light.

The number of views has reached the highest in the history of Chen Xing's works, and now it is close to 400 million views.

It can be called the treasure of the new generation.

Fans who haven't moved for a long time have increased by more than 20.

It can only be said that editing videos carefully will always pay off, and by the way, it has also boosted the popularity of photography in China.

Chen Xing flipped through the comments on the video for a while, rubbed his chin and thought—hassu's advertising fee has been reduced?

………………

There was nothing special in the next few days, but there was an extra partner for street photography.A photography partner is a partner in street photography. They can chat when they go out together, and shooting becomes much more interesting.

Hedwig bought her camera at the second-hand market in Arles. On Chen Xing's suggestion, she bought a Fuji x70. For young artists, Fuji is the most suitable.Chen Xing was envious of the straight-out effect of the Fuji camera.

Chen Xing shoots people, Hedwig shoots backs, buildings, everything.

As long as the composition is found, Fuji’s film style can make everything feel good.

Seth is also back in Arles this weekend.

Chen Xing went to Peruna Gallery to find him, and Hercule Abbott, the behind-the-scenes boss, was also there.

The door of the office was opened, Chen Xing knocked slightly, and Abbott immediately said with a smile: "The great photographer is here, come and let us see, how did you shoot this work of Buddha statue? Are there so many beautiful scenery?"

Seth was also very happy, and reminded: "Boss, it's not a Buddha statue, it's "Buddha Light""

"it's the same."

Chen Xing sat down on the sofa next to him and said, "Mr. Abbott, I haven't seen you for a long time. How are you doing?"

"I'm very good. What I'm looking forward to most now is to hang your latest works in our gallery. How about the day after tomorrow? I can dedicate a floor of the gallery to hold your photography exhibition."

"I'm sure there's nothing wrong with me. I've done everything I need to do." Chen Xing said tiredly, shaking his neck from side to side.

Originally these months were supposed to be his vacation, but just after the vacation, he went to Africa with the professor to endure hardships, and then he took photos everywhere in order to improve the quality of his works.

Fortunately, I finally took a photo in Wuyuan that satisfied Chen Xing.

Seth crossed his hands, listening to the boss say a lot about how much he likes Chen Xingxin's works, and then reminded: "Many collection institutions have already bid, in addition to our country, Britain, India, and even China .”

Chen Xing's ears perked up when he heard Huaxia, and asked, "Huaxia? Who wants to buy it?"

"It's the Museum of Contemporary Art in Shanghai. The price they offer is so low that it's almost unnecessary to consider. But if you don't care about the price, you still have a piece of work that I think is very suitable for them."

"What is it?"

It must be a good thing to have works abroad, and it will increase your reputation and make money, but after all, China is your own country.

"You have a picture of a country old man..."

He searched on the computer and found the Tibetan Zhuanshan old man.
