Chapter 54: The Milky Way Travels, and the Stars Turn
Soon Chen Xing returned to the tent, picked up the camera, picked up Mu Qing's tripod, and walked towards Otaina Snow Mountain alone.
The coach said that if you want to act alone, you have to tell him first, but at this time, Chen Xing doesn't want to disturb people's dreams, and he won't go too far, he just wants to find a suitable place to borrow this snowy mountain to shoot this starry sky.
Shooting the starry sky, the feedback from ordinary photos is relatively average.
Time lapse is also a technique often used in photography, similar to making stop-motion animation, where multiple images with the same shooting interval are combined to form a dynamic video.
This kind of video is searched on the Internet, and the keywords are starry sky, and there are a lot of them.
But those are other people's starry sky, and what Chen Xing wants is his own.
That is, it is about to be filmed.
Generally speaking, people who shoot starry sky will come to step on the test shot during the day, look for the camera position, and test the composition, because many places where the starry sky is photographed can't see anything at night, which is the lesson of many photographers' blood and tears, and when the time comes, you can only shoot by feeling.
But Chen Xing felt that it was okay, he could see the road clearly.
Now there was no evening mist, he could see far away in the snow, at least the yellow lights of his team's camp and the Sanao base camp were as bright as the lighthouses on the sea in his eyes.
And pay attention to the following.
It's best to shoot at the beginning or end of the month, so that the light of the moon doesn't overwhelm and the starry sky looks better.
Secondly, if there is not too much light pollution in the shooting environment, why is it not good to shoot the starry sky in the city? It's because there's so much light pollution.
Secondly, the air quality should be good, just like tonight, the wind and snow just now blew away the clouds in the sky, forming such a cloudless clear night sky, this is the best time to photograph the starry sky.
Chen Xing found the best compositional point.
The snow-capped mountains form a triangular composition in the viewfinder, the starry sky is above the snow-capped mountains, and the Milky Way is like water in the sky, pouring pure ice and snow into the snow-capped mountains for thousands of years.
Chen Xing set up the tripod, turned off the stabilization, and focused manually.
The ISO is set to 3,002, because Chen Xing feels that the current environment is okay, there is no darkness in the suburbs of the city, the shutter speed is set to 20 seconds, if the shutter speed is too slow, the starry sky will go offline, and the final product will be a bit like Van Gogh's oil painting.
Hey?
Chen Xing suddenly stood up straight, a little puzzled.
Wasn't Van Gogh a man of the 19th century? How can you draw such a modern and imaginative starry sky?
What a great painter!
Realizing this, Chen Xing was amazed by the imagination of his predecessors, and then continued to tinker with his camera.
The aperture is naturally as wide as it is, and then click on the interval function. There are no cameras with a slightly lower price for this function, and the A7M3 is more than enough than the previous one, just on the dividing line between entry and professionalism.
After setting up the camera, Chen Xing glanced back at the base, which was already far away, took two steps back, sat down and lay on the snow.
It feels very comfortable to lie on the snow in a jacket, the dry snow will not melt so easily, and lying on such a snow for a short time is like lying on a large ball of cotton, which is definitely the best ergonomic recliner.
Chen Xing put his hands in his sleeves and pillowed under his head, looking at the sky.
The Milky Way is far away, and the galaxy is turning.
It's beautiful.
It turns out that there are so many stars in the sky, and the universe is so big, and my life is fleeting.
At this time, Chen Xing's heart was also very calm, and the very urgent idea of making money was covered up by this beautiful scenery, he only felt that compared to this universe, the life of human beings was too short, not to mention that he only had a hundred years.
A hundred years later, everything is dust.
A poem flashed through his heart, and he whispered.
"Sorrow comes, sorrow comes, although the sky is long, the earth is long, the gold and jade are not kept, the wealth can be geometrical for a hundred years, and everyone has ...... in life and death"
The right hand reached out in front of his eyes, and with a shake of his hand, a pair of slender, calloused hands that were a pity not to play the piano appeared in the moonlight.
"And you have to drink in a glass, alas, it's a pity that there is no wine now."
Or Li Bai chic.
Although he also had moments of depression, the poetry he left behind has become an indelible mark in human history.
Chen Xing, who is young and not yet twenty years old this year, clenched his right hand tightly under the stars, and thought to himself: "I must be famous, just like Li Bai's poems and Van Gogh's paintings, I must leave my own traces in human time." ”
Time passed, and in the early hours of the morning, Chen Xing returned to the base to eat two pieces of bread, put away the camera around two o'clock, and returned to the base.
At this time, Wu Chunchun had just gotten up and was about to stew beef for the students, and when he saw Chen Xing, he subconsciously said hello: "Brother Chen got up so early, he slept well last night...... Is it ??? You wouldn't have slept without sleep, would you? ”
She said in surprise.
She saw the snow on Chen Xing's body and the tripod in his hand, this guy won't go to take pictures last night, right?
Chen Xing smiled shyly.
"Didn't you really sleep? Do you still have the spirit to climb the mountain? And yesterday we said that going it alone is right with what we said, where have you been? ”
"I took some pictures, don't worry, it's okay if I don't sleep for a day or two."
He really tested it, some time ago he played Civilization 6 at home all night, and the next day he accompanied his parents to his grandmother's house, and he and his father fished in the fish pond for a day, and he didn't feel sleepy at all.
"Can this be the same? You ......"
A tent suddenly opened, and Coach Chen Zhibing also walked out and said, "Forget it, don't you know Chen Xing's physical strength, he is the same as no one after six hours of training, are you still afraid that he won't be able to climb Otina?" ”
"It's not about O'Tidena." She said a word, turned around and said to Chen Xing, "What we are going to climb today is just a small mountain, but if you want to climb other dangerous or higher snow-capped mountains in the future, you must pay attention to your rest at night and not stay up late." ”
Chen Xing thought in his heart - I only stayed up all night to avoid staying up late.
But before he could say anything, he nodded and said, "I see." ”
Wu Chunchun continued to stew beef with a stomach full of energy, the higher the altitude, the lower the oxygen, the greater the consumption of the body, she had to make this beef well, so that the students had enough physical strength in the next few hours.
Everyone got up one after another.
Chen Xing returned Mu Qing's tripod, she still stared at Chen Xing and asked, "Don't you sleep?" ”
"If I sleep, then now is the time when I am most sleepy, then I have no energy at all."
Chen Zhibing took out the Snickers frame from his bag, and said: "If you feel uncomfortable for a while, you can eat this, but don't eat it as a snack, Coach Wu made beef stew over there, with Wujiang mustard, everyone ate until eight minutes full, and we set off on time at 3:20." ”
