Chapter 36: A Nightmare in the Deep Sea (2)
In the photography world, Tong Man is a trend-setting figure in the industry, and her photos have always attracted countless photographers.
She gave Xiao Yi the feeling of less like a photographer and more like an adventurer. The first time was the Tianwu Mountain, the second Ancheng Terracotta Army, and the third time was this blue deep sea conch lion bay.
This time, the female model is generally not very beautiful, and her figure is not outstanding, as mentioned before, the reason why she was given this opportunity this time is entirely because she can hold her breath in the water for up to two minutes and forty-five seconds at a time.
As far as normal people are concerned, holding their breath in the water ranges from one to two minutes, and it is terrible if it exceeds two minutes.
Of course, let's compare this with ordinary people, and with those supermen who set a Guinness record and can hold their breath in the water for dozens of minutes.
Everyone calls her Xiu'er, although Xiu'er is not brilliant in appearance, but after a closer look, there is a fairy aura between the eyebrows, and now she is wearing this mermaid costume, and she really looks like a mermaid princess.
According to Tong Man's instructions, the smoker brought an extra set of respirators when he went into the water, so that Xiu'er could take two puffs and change the air when she couldn't hold on.
With the first experience, after entering the water this time, there was no previous feeling of grievance like cooking dumplings in a teapot, and Xiao Yi adapted a lot.
When she got into the water, the smoker put a respirator on Xiu'er and led her to dive.
Everyone dived almost 20 meters, equivalent to the height of seven or eight floors, not too deep, not too shallow, but it was enough for this shooting.
The most important thing is that this depth is already the limit for a Xiu'er who is not wearing any diving equipment at all, and if she dives again, even if she can withstand the water pressure, it is estimated that she will not be able to complete the various movements required for shooting.
Tong Man turned on the Sea&SeaMDX-5Dmark III.'s built-in flash, turned his face and nodded to everyone, signaling to hurry up and start.
The biggest problem with this shoot was Xiu'er, because she couldn't wear any diving breathing equipment, and every time she held her breath, it was at most two minutes and forty-five seconds, and if she changed her breath once, the time to hold her breath again would be shortened, in the final analysis, they needed to race against time.
Xiu'er nodded and made an OK gesture meaning she was ready to go, while also removing the respirator.
The smoker took the respirator, let go of the embroidery, and swam aside.
Xiao Yi frowned and glanced at the back of the injured hand, after going ashore, the blood had coagulated, and the bleeding stopped naturally, thinking that it was not a big deal and the time was pressing, he didn't do anything to deal with it, but he didn't expect that after this launch, the coagulated blood was washed down and began to bleed again.
Fortunately, the injury was not too serious, so he didn't take it seriously.
The shooting began, and Xiu'er was a very professional model, and soon entered the role.
In the first movement, she stretched out her hand and moved it back, like a mermaid swimming, with a light smile on her face, her body was light, and she was graceful.
The second action is to dive sideways, swaying the fish hips.
The third movement, with her back facing up, the scattered sunlight shining obliquely on her face through sleep, just like a long time in the deep sea to soak up the sun.
The fourth action......
The fifth action ......
Gradually, she seems to have melted into the blue of the deep sea, beautiful and mysterious, every movement is not deliberately artificial, everything seems extremely natural and just right.
Before I knew it, more than two minutes had passed.
Xiu'er's face changed slightly, and it was estimated that she couldn't hold on anymore, so she hurriedly made a stop gesture.
Tong Man stopped shooting.
The smoker hurriedly swam over wearing a respirator, and Xiu'er took the respirator and inhaled it desperately.
Xiao Yi suddenly felt that he was a little redundant, Tong Man was a photographer, Xiu'er was a model, and the smoker was responsible for Xiu'er's safety, although he was Tong Man's assistant, he didn't seem to be able to use himself here.
After taking a few deep breaths, Xiu'er's face softened a lot, made an OK gesture, and removed the respirator.
It seems that the ventilation has been completed.
The smoker took the respirator and flashed aside.
Tong Man hurried up to shoot again.
Everything is going very smoothly, according to this schedule, it should be possible to complete this shooting in ten minutes, and Xiu'er will be able to complete it after a few more changes of breath and persistence.
This ventilation made Xiu'er last for a minute and a half, and the second ventilation began.
The second ventilation kept her going for a little over a minute.
Just when the three ventilations were completed and the filming was about to start again, the problem arose.
The built-in flash of Sea&SeaMDX-5Dmark III. is malfunctioning and cannot be used as continuous light.
It's still quite bright to look at at the continuous light, but for taking pictures, it's too bad.
Tong Man frowned and removed the Sea&SeaMDX-5DMarkIII. flash from the camera, handed it to Xiao Yi, and motioned him to go up and replace it with a spare flash.
Xiao Yi stared at his eyes, secretly thinking that this back and forth was too delayed, and he happened to be redundant, it was time to do something. So the moment he took the flash, he shook his head and signaled that he had a way and that the shooting could continue.
Tong Man looked at him in surprise, could it be that he would repair it?
Xiao Yi pointed in the direction of Xiu'er, meaning that she couldn't hold out for long, and we had to hurry up.
Tong Man frowned, and glanced at Xiao Yi suspiciously.
Xiao Yi smiled confidently, holding a flash in one hand and making a series of complex movements with the other.
Although the series of sign languages was complicated, fortunately, they had learned some simple sign language communication skills before, and Tong Man could understand them.
Xiao Yi means that you just take pictures, and I am responsible for the lighting.
The smoker not far away glanced at the two of them speechlessly, and hurriedly swam to Xiu'er and handed the respirator to the latter.
Tong Man glanced at Xiao Yi, picked up the camera, and made a gesture to signal the shooting to continue.
She didn't know what Xiao Yi's method was, but she subconsciously chose to believe it.
Some people say that love starts with this inexplicable trust and then falls.
……
Fortunately, while Xiao Yi and Tong Man were communicating, the smoker handed the respirator to Xiu'er, and as soon as Tong Man signaled, she responded that she was in a good state and could continue at any time.
The smoker took the respirator and swam to the side again, clasping his hands around his chest, looking at Xiao Yi with a smile.
If Xiao Yi has a way to repair the ordinary indoor flash, he still believes it, but this is the built-in flash of Sea&SeaMDX-5DmarkIII., there is an essential difference between the two, he doesn't believe that Xiao Yi can repair it, and the most important thing is that he hasn't seen Xiao Yi repair it during this time just now, and he has to take a good look at what this kid can do now.
Xiao Yi shrugged his shoulders and revealed a mysterious smile.
Tong Man picked up the camera, the lens was already aimed at Xiu'er, and the latter also cooperated to make beautiful movements.
When everything is ready, it's just the lights.
Tong Man glanced back at Xiao Yi.
Xiao Yi made an OK gesture and smiled.
Tong Man didn't have any expression, turned his head, and slowly pressed the shutter.
Just as the shutter was about to fall completely, suddenly, a strong and dazzling white light shot out from the flash in Xiao Yi's hand.
The white light was intense and focused, a beam of light, like it came from a super-powered flashlight.
The smoker on the side widened his eyes, and his mouth was about to be stuffed with an orange: "This kid...... This kid actually changed the flash to a continuous light? ”
The flashes have analog light, but the light is very weak and completely does not meet the requirements of continuous light required for shooting.
But when such a thing fell into Xiao Yi's hands, it seemed to have become a super flashlight.
So how could the light be so strong?
The shutter was pressed, the picture froze, and Tong Man quickly checked the photo, his expression slightly frozen.
The white light shone on Xiu'er's body just right, and it also formed a butterfly light.
Butterfly light is under the nose of the subject, forming a butterfly-like shadow, the more beautiful the nose, the more beautiful the butterfly shadow formed, this kind of light is very simple, only need the light above the character.
In this environment of the seabed, butterfly light is the most suitable and logical, because in the seabed, the light is thus down, if it is Sea&SeaMDX-5DmarkIII. comes with the flash, the effect must be flat light, that is, there is no light and shadow effect at all, it cannot highlight the outline of the character's facial features, and it is not so attached to the logic.
Tong Man turned his head suddenly, and found that Xiao Yi had swam to a position about two meters above everyone at some point, holding a flash in his hand, but the flash was like a super flashlight at the moment, emitting a beam of intense white light the size of a tree trunk.
Of course, Tong Man didn't notice that the white light did not come from the flash, but the index fingertips of the hands holding the flash.
From afar, Xiao Yi smiled.
The smoker, who had been thinking and meditating for a long time, finally came to his senses, turned his face, and gave Xiao Yi a thumbs up, but the thumb soon fell, and was replaced by the shaking index finger of his right hand.
From afar, the corners of Xiao Yi's mouth twitched, secretly thinking that he shouldn't have let him know these secrets in the first place, otherwise, how could he still be like this who saw through everything now.
Tong Man took a deep breath, although he didn't understand what was going on, but now he couldn't allow her to think about it, turned around and raised a fleeting smile on his face, and then concentrated and began to shoot.
Xiu'er is a model and doesn't understand these things, she is only responsible for all kinds of beautiful movements, but she doesn't think about it so much.
Another round of filming began.
Xiao Yi has changed from an idler just now to an indispensable role, because without him, the photos taken would definitely be pitch black and have nothing to do.
Soon, the fifth ventilation was done.
It is estimated that after this air change, the shooting is almost over.
After this breath change, Xiu'er's first gesture was to fold her hands and make a prayer gesture.
Xiao Yi's heart moved, and the light weakened a little, highlighting the sense of mystery.
At this moment, the sea water rippled, and it became more and more violent, as if something was stirring in this sea, and later, Xiao Yi was almost unsteady.
Suddenly, his face changed dramatically, because an incredible scene had happened.
