Take a picture of the starry sky with the camera, and then put Van Gogh's starry sky together in the circle of friends, or make a card in the blog of station b.

He said that he had been to the places where Van Gogh had been. He thought he had a great idea. But how could he be alone in thinking of such a thing?

There are so many photographers standing in this small square who don't leave, all of them have the same thoughts as Chen Xing, but they just come early or late.

Chen Xing came a little earlier and took the lead in occupying the best position. Set up the tripod and wait for both of them to sit on a bench next to them.

Because the place is really famous, there are people who admire Van Gogh all the year round, or some vassal elegance people come here to check in, and 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 filled with photographers waiting for dark, without moving their nests for half a day.

It is possible that you stand up on your front feet and want to take two steps to move, and immediately after that, someone will come and sit on the seat you just got up, and then show a smile to 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 had seen so many photographers. Tourists don't even come closer, they gather in the distance, and take pictures of this rare sight with their mobile phones.

There are not as many foreign photographers as the Chinese people think, so they rarely see this kind of camera after row.

In China, it is different, in the park of any big city, you may see a group of photographers shooting birds by the river.

But not as much as there is now. Even the bearded brother on Chen Xing's right said: "I have never seen so many photographers taking the same scene." "This person is very enthusiastic, and when he first sat down, he introduced himself to Chen Xing Hedwig, who is a photography enthusiast in Norway, and of course came here for this exhibition of photos in Arles.

Forty or fifty years old, one meter nine taller than Chen Xing, with a scruffy beard. Some people have beards and they seem to be very handsome.

There are not only photographers but also a few painters, who wanted to sit in front of the camera before but were boycotted by the photographers, and everyone used a wide angle or even an ultra wide angle to shoot the starry sky, no matter how they sit, as long as they were in front of the camera, they would enter the frame.

The night finally came in anticipation of countless people. Today is as cloudless as Chen Xing guessed, even if there are a few, 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 of the clouds, there is no visible, only a pure night sky.

There are two types of photographers taking pictures of the starry sky, one is the Milky Way and the other is the star trail. Chen Xing has photographed the Milky Way, and this time he is also preparing to photograph the Milky Way, and he personally thinks that the Milky Way is the most beautiful thing in the starry sky at night.

And more people here are ready to shoot star trails, and if there is a drag of stars in the photo, it will undoubtedly be closer to Van Gogh's paintings.

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

The house in the distance may have been trying to imitate the light in that painting, the lights were turned on as soon as it was dark, and the warm yellow light shone in the river, stretched by the sparkling river water for a long time, this picture must be beautiful if you only took a night scene.

But it also affects the filming of the galaxy. Shooting the Milky Way requires high sensitivity and a large aperture, and the light damage in the external environment is very small; The shooting of star trails is relatively low sensitivity, the aperture can also be smaller, and the requirements of the external environment are not as high as those of the Milky Way.

Since this point cannot be avoided in the early stage, it can only be slowly adjusted through the later stage. The surrounding photographers were very excited, and Brother Hu, who was sitting on the right side of Chen Xing, didn't know if it was the first time to shoot the starry sky, his eyes kept staring at his camera, and his eyes reflected the light in the river, looking very energetic.

Hedwig dozed off, leaning on Chen Xing's shoulder and breathing evenly. Chen Xing woke her up and said, "Let's go back, shall we?" ”

"Gone? What time is it. ”

"It's almost early in the morning." Chen Xing also said to Brother Hu Zi, and wanted to take Hedwig with him when she turned around, but she kept looking at the Darona River after she stood up.

"Beautiful, isn't it?" Chen Xing said in the past.

"Hmm."

"You can go out more in the future, don't you also pay attention to sketching when painting oil paintings? Just like a few of them. Chen Xing pointed to the painters who had come with their own benches and easels.

All young. If you are not young, you probably can't stand staying up late like this. The photographer set the parameters and just waited next to him, but the painter was different, Chen Xing also saw that they brought a small lamp to hang on the top of the painting, which was used for lighting, and by the way, he could also see the color grading clearly.

Light damage, light damage, I guess many photographers here don't like them. But when he said it, Chen Xing felt that it was inappropriate, and instructed: "Don't do it, don't come out alone at night." Hedwig thought Chen Xing was so handsome and romantic, and when she heard him shake her head and say this, she laughed out loud and said, "Didn't you bring me out?" I've never been out at night. ”

"Then go back and see what Arles looks like in the middle of the night." The streets are still very bright, although there are fewer street lights, but many houses will install a small lamp under the eaves to illuminate passers-by.

I just don't know if these small lights were installed by the owner of the house himself or by the government. Europe at night is peaceful.

The French people basically don't go out at night, and it's not a safety problem, but the main thing 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 in Huaxia. The French, or Europeans, are more comfortable, it is enough to earn a little money for a few hours during the day, and when they retire, they will naturally have a lot of pensions, and they don't have to get up early and think about what business to do.

Hedwig was a little scared when she walked like this, and she held Chen Xing's arm all the way.

"I want to go to your country to see, if you want to change nationality, is it easy to get a Chinese nationality?"

"It's hard to take." Chen Xing said. At present, the most difficult thing in the world to get is Chinese nationality, rich and talented are not good, many foreigners who have lived in China for a long time, you think he has a nationality, but in fact, there is only one residence permit, or even a residence permit, it is illegal immigration.

But...... There are some tricks.

"Then I'll ......" Hedwig was a little nervous, wanting to say how about marrying Chen Xing. But when Chen Xing looked over, she flinched.

"Let's go back quickly." After arriving at the hotel, Hedwig went back to the room to sleep, and Chen Xing took the photo and posted it to the news.

And then immediately a fan commented at the bottom: "That's it? ”

"Why don't you post a video!! It's another day of being pigeoned by Grandma. Chen Xing had just sent out the news at this time, and they appeared in a refresh time.

Do you live at the Beep Station? Chen Xing's last video can be regarded as a good advertisement, but this Hasselblad review is popular on the travel channel and the photography channel, with excellent editing and color grading, a suitable soundtrack, and the appearance of Foguang's work.

The number of views has reached the highest in the history of Chen Xing's works, and now it is close to four million views. It can be called the treasure of the new generation of town station.

The fans who have not moved for a long time have risen by more than 200,000. It can only be said that carefully editing videos will always pay off, and by the way, it has also boosted the popularity of photography in China.

Chen Xing flipped through the comments of the video for a while, touched his chin and thought - is Hasselblad's advertising fee less?

……………… The next few days were nothing special, except that there was an extra photography partner for street photography.

The photography partner is the partner of street photography, and the two can chat when they go out together, and the shooting has become much more interesting.

Hedwig's camera was bought in the second-hand market in Arles, and at the suggestion of Chen Xing, she bought a Fujifilm X70.

The straight-out effect of the Fujifilm camera Chen Xing is very greedy. Chen Xing shoots people, Hedwig shoots back, shoots buildings, and shoots everything.

As long as the composition is found, it is very good to shoot anything in Fujifilm's film style. Seth also returned to Arles this weekend.

Chen Xing went to Perena Gallery to find him, and the boss behind the scenes, Hercule Abbott, was also there. The door of the office was opened, Chen Xing knocked slightly, and Abbott immediately said with a smile: "The big photographer is here, come and let us see, how did you shoot the Buddha statue, is there really so much beautiful scenery in China?" Seth was also very happy and prompted: "Boss, it's not a Buddha statue, it's "Buddha Light""

"It's all 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, and now what I'm looking forward to most is hanging your latest work in our gallery. What about the day after tomorrow? I can dedicate a floor of the gallery to your photography exhibition. ”

"I'm sure I'm fine, I've done everything I need to do." Chen Xing shook his neck from side to side and said tiredly.

Originally, these few months should have been his vacation, but as soon as he was on vacation, he went to Africa with his professor to endure hardships, and then he took photos everywhere in order to improve the amount of work, and the photos could only be said to be used.

Fortunately, I finally took a work in Wuyuan that Chen Xing was very satisfied with. Seth crossed his hands and listened to the boss say a lot about how much he liked Chen Xingxin's works, and then reminded: "Many collection institutions have already bidd, in addition to our country, the United Kingdom, India, and even China. Chen Xing's ears pricked up when he heard Huaxia and asked, "Huaxia?" Who wants to buy? ”

"It's a contemporary art museum in Shanghai, and the price they give is so low that you don't have to think about it. But if you don't care about the price, you have another piece that I think fits them perfectly. ”

"What is it?" It is definitely a good thing to have works abroad, to enhance fame and make money, but after all, Huaxia is its own country.

"You have a picture of the old man in the countryside......" He looked it up on the computer and turned out the old Tibetan old man who turned to the mountain.
