Rebirth of top photographers

Chapter 191 The Uneasy City Monthly Ticket will be updated
When a man dressed in black appears, the last piece of the uneasy puzzle is finally completed.

He stood not far from the monument, looking up quietly.

Chen Pingsheng didn't know what he was looking at, he only knew that the silence could not be broken.

In his paintings, buildings are tall and majestic, while humans appear extremely small.

People are no longer the subject, but just an integral part of the composition.

So strictly speaking, what Chen Pingsheng photographed was not the scenery of the Yellow River, but the landscape, including both natural and man-made landscapes.

After finishing the shooting, Chen Pingsheng continued to drive forward. Today's shooting ends here for the time being, because the sunset in the distance has entered the afterglow stage.

But he continues to look for suitable places to shoot.

At night, he would use the prayer music box and pray that the area would be cloudy the next day.

Shooting during the day and finding locations at night, this is the shooting method planned by Chen Pingsheng.

"It went pretty well." At 11:30 p.m., he finally marked the area he wanted to shoot on the map.

Using the car's interior light, he drew a rough outline of the area and nodded, thinking that there should be no problem within this range.

Then he took out the prayer music box, placed it in front of the windshield, and wound the clockwork.

Chen Pingsheng clasped his hands together and prayed for the weather the next day.

After a while, the exciting music representing victory sounded, making him sigh in relief.A good start is half the battle, all you have to do now is rest.

His current location is around JN City. In order not to delay his trip, he found the nearest express hotel.

After a good night's sleep, he continued filming.

"call!"

The strong wind today was very noisy. When Chen Pingsheng rushed to the shooting location, he felt that his eyes were blown open and he could not open his eyes.

There are also fine sand and plastic bags blown up by the wind. In this remote suburb next to the Yellow River, there is no greenery at all, everything is barren.

In front of me are all white uniform street lights, evenly distributed along the river.If you look at them from directly above, you can see that they are so rigorous. The distance between each one seems to have been precisely calculated and completely consistent. There is no protruding one or missing one.

And there was nothing around them except overturned mud.This orderly yet densely packed scene is really a bit unsettling.

It seems that there is some unspeakable surge hidden behind it, and it also seems to be some kind of reflection of modern society.

"Crack!"

After completing the filming of this scene, Chen Pingsheng quickly came to the next area.

The photo here looks a bit more urban than before.

Large round chimneys stand silently all around, all legacy of old industry. Even now, they are still breathing and lingering.

White smoke floated in the sky, and then was swept down by the strong wind, making the huge round chimney seem to be covered in mist, like looking up from the foot of the mountain to see the clouds halfway up the mountain.

But that wasn't the reason why Chen Pingsheng decided to take the photo. He chose this place because he saw two fake deer.

The two white deer used for decoration were placed in front of the chimney, one with its head raised and the other lying on the ground.Although it is a man-made thing, it feels quite dynamic when viewed from a distance.

All in all, there are more or less traces of animals in his photo albums, whether they are crows, prehistoric animals, or photos taken at the zoo during the decisive moment.

These animals seem to imply that human society cannot completely isolate them. People and animals are always accompanied. Even if steel buildings break the original pattern, it does not mean that they can be driven away.

Natural selection, survival of the fittest.

In the process of human beings trying to defeat nature and conquer nature.Animals are actually adapting to human life in another way, occupying the human world, and conquering humans from another perspective.

Who says cuteness can't be eaten?
Cats and dogs were the first to disagree.

After an unknown amount of time, Chen Pingsheng yawned and leaned against the car, feeling that the surroundings were so quiet.

It was so quiet that it was even scary.

When a person stands in the deserted wilderness, the uneasiness in his heart will be aroused.

Human beings are naturally social animals. Even the most autistic person can hug each other on the Internet to stay warm without leaving the house.

But once you realize that no one exists around you except yourself, the first thing you feel is freedom, and then you feel panic.

The same was true for Chen Pingsheng. He originally thought that someone would pass by here during the day, but it was completely different from what he thought. There was only the sound of wind, the sound of small stones rubbing against each other and the sound of his own soothing breathing.

Other than that, nothing.

Even the giant thing breathing mist in front of him couldn't give him the feeling that he was alive. On the contrary, it made people can't help but think of it.

Are there really people in these industrial parks?
Do these creations just follow the procedures prescribed by humans and move mechanically repeatedly?
At this moment, Chen Pingsheng began to consider the possibility of doomsday.

Fortunately, this uneasiness was broken by a confused deer.

It appeared from the other side of the fog, like a flash of light splitting the clouds, which made Chen Pingsheng's eyes brighten.

He originally wanted to wait for someone to show up, but he didn't expect that there was a deer here?
Even though this was the outskirts of the city, right next to the undulating mountains, Chen Pingsheng still couldn't believe it.

But he couldn't miss this opportunity. This was undoubtedly a God-given opportunity, a miracle that photographers only encounter occasionally.The deer's fur was brown-gray. After it came over, it looked at Chen Pingsheng and his camera from a distance for a while.Then he slowly walked to the fake deer.

It pressed its head against the head of the statue deer lying on the ground, and seemed to be communicating, asking why it didn't move or bark.

At this moment, "click!" The sound of the shutter resounded throughout the space surrounded by fog.

The deer stood up in panic, shook his head and looked for a few times, then immediately took up his legs and ran back into the mist.

Chen Pingsheng watched its back getting further and further away, and sighed, knowing that he had disturbed it.

He patted the performance monster beside him and said, "Look at you, you scared people away!"

The only thing that responded to him was the sound of wind in the air.
-
Today's shooting is not over yet.

Chen Pingsheng walked around the area covered by dark clouds, looking at the somewhat dark sky, looking for the next shooting location.

He looked through the glass and swallowed the caterpillar bread in his hands.

It took half a day to shoot just two pictures, which is enough to prove the difficulty of this photo album.

If it weren't for the Prayer Music Box, it would have taken at least three months of continuous filming to film this work.

It took Zhang Kechun longer, because he rushed to the city by plane, and then rode his bicycle around to find locations where he could shoot.

"Wow!"

The car tires ran over the deep ravines on the ground. In this land that has not yet been opened up, one can only follow the traces of the car in front, otherwise it is easy to get stuck somewhere.

Chen Pingsheng has seen similar situations in the past two days.

But he was lucky, he didn't encounter any trouble, and finally arrived at the place he had found in advance.

After getting out of the car, he lifted up his tripod, carried the heavy iron box, and walked up the slope.

I couldn't drive the rest of the way, so I had to rely on my legs.

Every time Chen Pingsheng took a step, he felt that all the muscles in his body were under pressure.

He had to walk and stop for a while, especially on the slope in front of him. There was no road, it was all gravel and dirt.

Chen Pingsheng was worried about slipping down accidentally.

So he could only pick up 120 points of energy and climb the mountain slowly.

"Ha..." After reaching the top of the mountain, Chen Pingsheng panted from exhaustion. He sat on the box containing the large-format camera and looked into the distance.

There is a factory surrounded by two symmetrical slopes. Of course, this is only because of the perspective relationship, so the factory appears to be very close.

In fact, the factory is very far away.

After resting for a while, he opened the box, put the camera on a tripod, adjusted the parameters and pointed it at the factory in the distance.

This was originally a mining field, and these slopes were formed by mining, so the tops of the slopes were very flat and there were no plants.

Because of this, when the camera picture included them and the factory, Chen Pingsheng felt that this scene was really interesting.

Various human traces and remnants at a close distance can be seen that have been abandoned for a long time, and there are still operating factories in the distance. Does this mean that this is how humans have transformed the world, constantly moving forward, but regardless of the consequences?

Chen Pingsheng was also thinking about this when filming, but he felt that the interpretation should be left to subsequent viewers.

He's just a recorder now.

Record it as objectively as possible without any emotion.

"Snapped!"

After putting the rack back in the car, Chen Pingsheng sat back in the driver's seat and closed the door.

He unscrewed a bottle of water and drank half of it. When he lowered his head and put the cap back, he found that his hands were covered in dust and there was some black dirt in his fingernails.

Then he opened the rearview mirror and looked at himself. His hair and beard, which he had no energy to take care of, began to grow wildly, and his whole body looked rougher.

In just two days, Chen Pingsheng's image has begun to deteriorate.

"But it's quite manly." He looked at the mirror for a while, then opened the map in his hand.

"The next thing is here, here and here." After Chen Pingsheng drew some marks, he stepped on the accelerator and drove to the next nice scene.

That night, he returned to the hotel in the city and took a shower. In the next few days, he would go deeper into the Yellow River Basin, and there would be no large cities along the way.

The most famous surrounding area is only the center of the universe, Cao County, Heze, Shandong.

But the journey between Caoxian and him was not smooth, so it seemed that he could not see the center of the universe this time.

However, going deeper also means that his shooting will be more difficult.

Therefore, Chen Pingsheng had prepared food and water in advance and planned to have a long journey without looking back.
