Chapter 20 Meet new people and learn to take pictures for a living!
After the incident of Teacher Ang, there is no more beating and scolding students in the school!
Teachers don't talk about those empty truths in class!
Xiaoda and I also started to study hard.
The day after Ms. Ang left the school, Ms. Tao became the homeroom teacher of our class.
Yanfang told me that Mr. Tao has a long salary, and in the future, he can get more than a dozen yuan every month!
Teacher Li Juxiang has also officially become our Chinese teacher.
Cai Jinghua began to become good friends with me, Xiaoda and Yanfang.
We often talk about learning issues together and talk about other things.
Through conversation, I know that Cai Jinghua's sister is called Cai Meixin, and Meihua's sister is Jingtiange's classmate.
Now, Sister Meihua and Brother Jingtian are also classmates in the middle school in the county, they are very good friends, Brother Jingtian also went to Cai's house to play and eat, and Brother Jingtian sent wild boar to their home some time ago.
Because of this relationship, I have a basic sense of trust in Cai Jinghua.
Cai, who is as tall as me, has clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, is a steady person, and is a very calm person.
Once, when I played Go with Mr. Cen, I learned from him about the situation of the Cai family.
Teacher Cen smiled and said, "Oh! I know, Cai Jinghua's father is called Cai Jiaxing! It used to be a big family in Daling Town! The Cai family used to have a lot of fields and real estate! Their family immigrated here from the mainland, there should be dozens of generations! We are a big local family, and our family has always had a good relationship with theirs! Ahh Making friends is mainly to make friends, everyone must be of the same mind in order to be friends! The road knows the horsepower, and the people will see it for a long time! Let's take your time! ”
With Mr. Cen's approval, Xiaoda and I began to let Cai Jinghua play with us.
Cai Jinghua is a year older than me, but he asked us to call him "Ah Hua", and he said that his family also called him that!
Since then, in addition to normal study, Xiaoda and Ah Hua have often gone together to walk horses, catch birds, fish, swim, run and climb mountains.
I, Yanfang, Xiaoda and Ah Hua often went to Ms. Cen's house to ask Ms. Cen and Ms. Tao about junior high school mathematics, physics, chemistry and biology, and the Cen family became an extracurricular learning base for the four of us, and Ms. Cen and Ms. Tao also enjoyed teaching the four of us students.
......
After October, our town enters winter.
Uncle Lan, Uncle Big Tiger, Brother Lan Feng and others often bring mountain goods to the town market to sell.
Every time they came to sell mountain goods, me, Yanfang, Xiaoda and Ah Hua went to the market to help them sell them.
Of course, Uncle Lan and Uncle Dahu also sent a lot of fresh mountain goods such as rice, sweet potatoes, shiitake mushrooms and fungus to the Cen family, the Qin family, the Tao family and the Cai family!
Once, when the four of us went to give gifts to the Cai family, it happened that Ah Hua's father Cai Jiaxing was at home.
Cai's father said happily: "Ah Cai! Xiaoda! Yanfang! What a blessing Ah Hua has made friends like you! From now on, you can play, learn, and do things together! Several of Ah Hua's older brothers and sisters have grown up to do things, only Ah Hua and his sister Meixin are still studying! ”
I said, "Yes! Daddy Cai! Now, we and Ah Hua are brothers! In the future, if there is anything in your family, we will come to help! If you have something to do with your old man, you ask Ah Hua to tell us, and we will definitely come over! ”
.......
Soon after, Mr. Cen asked Xiaoda to call me to Cen's house to discuss things.
In the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, Xiaoda and I were talking with Teacher Cen playing chess.
Teacher Cen smiled and said, "Ah Cai! Now, it's the end of the year! Your semester is coming to an end! I bought you a camera in the provincial capital! In the future, I will let you learn photography from Uncle Six! When you grow up, you open a photo studio! In this way, you have a serious thing to do! Now, this is the way of the world! Don't expect people and society anymore, they can't control your food problems in the future! ”
I was chatting when the sixth master came in with a camera.
Teacher Cen smiled and said to the sixth master: "Sixth uncle, in the future, Ah Cai and Xiaoda will be your apprentices!" You take the time to teach them how to take pictures! In the future, you will take pictures for everyone during the New Year's holidays, and you also have a helper! ”
The sixth master smiled and said, "Master! Thank you for giving me two apprentices! That way, my craft won't be lost! This craft of mine was also specially taught to me by a foreign master when you were in Shanghai! I will do my best to pass on my craft to them! ”
......
After that, the sixth master took the camera and took me and Xiao Da to his room.
In the sixth master's room, he introduced me to the imaging principle of the camera, as well as the basic operation.
He made us hold the camera and taught us what the lens, viewfinder, aperture, exposure time, focal length, framing, focus, stabilization, shutter and other operational problems were.
Then, let us learn and experience the basic methods of photography such as framing, focusing, adjusting aperture and exposure time in the courtyard of Cen House, he taught us very carefully, how to press the shutter, turn the film and so on, he also taught us, and let us take a few photos repeatedly.
After we finished the operation, the sixth master took us to the darkroom of the Cen family, prepared to develop the photos, and gave us an evaluation of the effect of the photos.
The sixth master said: "Children! This is the darkroom! Only red lights can be used in the darkroom! Otherwise, when you open the film, the film inside is completely exposed! In this way, all the photos we just took are nullified! Therefore, as soon as we enter the darkroom, we must turn on the red light! Close all doors and windows! Can't let outside light in! ”
After we operated the darkroom according to the requirements of the sixth master, the sixth master opened the back cover of the camera on a table and took out the film.
The sixth master held the film in his hand and said, "Children! Film is a delicate thing! Photographic negatives, also called films! It's packed in this sealed iron cylinder, and there are 36 sheets of film in this film! It was the camera that automatically sorted it out for us! We pressed the shutter 36 times and turned the film into place! In this way, the film in one roll runs out! I took the front of this film, and you took the back of this film! The film has run out! Let's rinse this roll film now! ”
The sixth master began to arrange the potion for the processing of the negatives in two rinsing pools, one with the words "developing pool" and the other with "fixing pool".
After configuring the potion, Liu Ye slowly pulled out the negative from the film, and used a small metal tweezer to soak the negative in the development pool and the fixing pool successively.
During the soaking process, the six masters all looked at the clock on the wall and counted the time.
Then, the sixth master took out the negative from the last pool, and after the negative was slightly dry, let us put on rubber gloves and hold the negative to observe the red light.
The sixth master said: "Children! After the film passed the development and fixing, we just shot and printed it on the film! The blurry film is caused by the shaking of our hands when we press the shutter! These films are counted as invalid! Now, we've cut out those clear, perfectly framed and composed films! I'm going to teach you how to take photos and edit photos! ”
According to the requirements of the sixth master, we cut out a few negatives that the sixth master thought were better.
Then, the sixth master took us to the photo room, ready to take photos and make photos, there are cameras, dryers, photo cropping workbenches, etc.
The sixth master taught us to follow the photographic paper and negatives on the camera, and then, turn on the exposure light.
The sixth master said: "Children! Now let's get to the photos! There is a set of magnifying lenses on the sunken camera! You can make adjustments and post photos of different inch sizes! You can see this on the picture board! The size and clarity are adjusted! Press the Develop button! The photo paper began to develop! The development of the photo paper is 10 seconds to 15 seconds! This process is very important! It takes a lot of practice and experience! to get a high-quality photo! ”
After the sixth master gave us a demonstration operation, after the development, the photo paper was soaked in the fixing pool, and when the time was taken out, it was dried and glazed on the dryer. Then, crop the photo out on the cropping table!
In the end, the sixth master smiled and said, "Children! A photo is made! You need to practice for a while to master the content and operation details of these processes! In the future, if you don't understand something, ask me immediately! I'll tell you the right way! There are no shortcuts or tricks to learn photography, you just need to practice, learn and think more to fully master this craft! ”
Then, the sixth master handed me the camera that Mr. Cen gave me, as well as a dozen films, and taught me and Xiaoda how to install the films? How to remove film from the camera and other operating techniques.
The sixth master said, "Okay! The children! Let's get practiced! You do what I say! Go and do what you want! Then, come back here to develop the film and make photos! ”
......
In this way, for more than a month, Xiaoda and I used our spare time to take pictures of everyone, and took scenic photos in the bazaar and the Daling River.
After taking pictures, in the evening, let the sixth master guide us to film development, photographing and photo making.
Through more than a month of practice and repeated operation experiments, we have mastered the recipes of various potions in the darkroom, as well as the operation time of each process and other operational details!
In terms of the operation and use of the camera, we have reached the strict requirements of the sixth master in framing, in different ambient light conditions, in the use of aperture, exposure speed, etc., and in terms of anti-shake!
Finally, in front of us, the sixth master said to Teacher Cen, "Master! Ahh Xiaoda! These two apprentices can be discharged! Later, we can hand over the camera and the darkroom to them! ”
Teacher Cen smiled and said, "Okay! Wait until they graduate from elementary school! Let them open their own photo studio! Just be able to support yourself! ”
Everyone laughed!
After that, the sixth master handed me all the books on photography he had read in the past, and asked me to read them carefully, continue to practice, and seriously experience the principles, formulas and techniques in the books.
Mother, Wei Ma, Jing Di and Lilan were all very happy when they found out that I had learned to take pictures!
Both Mother and Mother Wei said that this is a good craft to support a family! Let me practice hard, and in the future, you will definitely help me open a photo studio.
Listening to them say this, I am also full of hope for life!
