Rebirth of top photographers

Chapter 192 The restless city is colorful
"Crack!"

Chen Pingsheng looked at the picture in the camera and nodded. There was no problem.

It is already his sixth day of shooting along the Yellow River, but technically he only shot for five days.

Because one day God was not kind, even though I prayed for cloudy weather, it failed.

It rained heavily the next day, and all the shooting plans were soaked in the city's muddy puddles.

Obviously, changing the original bad weather is also a very restrictive thing.

However, after shooting day and night in the past few days, he has completed more than a dozen photos and is now taking the last few photos of this journey.

For example, this one is the exterior wall of a chemical factory, with a landscape painting on it, which is very majestic.

However, that was an effect that only existed before. Now, as the air outlet above continues to emit oil, black oil stains have infected the entire painting, dividing the wall into several different sections, making all artistic conceptions suffer. To the destruction.

Not to mention that there are many large gray areas left by wind and sand on the unmaintained wall, which also makes the painting look dirty.

It complements the row of no-longer-transparent glass above it.

Putting away the tripod and camera, Chen Pingsheng drove the car and continued forward.

During this period of time, he basically never entered the city center, and rarely went to even the suburbs. He had been wandering near the Yellow River.

It's like two worlds, two landscapes.

You will never see such a desolate and poetic scene in southern China.

Chen Pingsheng drove the car with the windows open, facing the dusty breeze.I feel that this society has invisibly segregated different people into prescribed circles, just like the circle Wukong drew on the ground with his golden cudgel.

It seems simple, but in fact it is extremely powerful.

So sometimes if you go out and take a look, you can have a clearer understanding of where you are.

Soon, the car reached the edge of the city.

From a distance, Chen Pingsheng saw the properties being built.

"Repairing a house here." He raised his eyebrows, parked the car on the side of the road, and walked forward slowly with his machine.

Not far away, a huge artificial rockery is being repaired surrounded by workers.

"Hey! Who are you!" A dark-skinned worker stopped Chen Pingsheng who wanted to approach.

"Brother! Come, have a cigarette!" Chen Pingsheng smiled and skillfully pushed open the cigarette case, pointed the cigarette butt towards him, and asked the workers to take it.

The worker brother was a little moved when he saw this, and looked back around.

"It's okay! Brother, I'm just here to take a picture! Do you know the photographer?" Chen Pingsheng spoke with an accent that was not very fluent. He could tell that this elder brother was not a local.

"Photographer?" The worker brother looked him up and down. After seeing the big camera, he asked curiously: "Lin Haf?"

Chen Pingsheng was surprised. He didn't expect that this person actually knew about large format, so he nodded: "Absolutely, they are all large format."

"I've seen other people take pictures before." The worker brother smiled proudly, picked up the butt of a cigarette, and lit one for himself with a lighter.

Then he looked at the young man in front of him with messy hair, wearing a black sweater, boots, and dark skin and waved his hand: "Be careful! Just don't interrupt your work."

"Okay, brother." Chen Pingsheng responded with a smile, and then set up the camera opposite the rockery.

It was a grey-blue rockery. Seeing it, Chen Pingsheng thought of the legendary Wuzhishan.Because its shape is like three fingers standing tall.

Outside the rockery, workers built layers of shelves out of wood. Workers in red clothes stepped on the shelves and carefully painted the rockery.

The place is surrounded by a wall. Low-rise residential buildings can be seen in the distance, and next to it is a building that has not yet been built and has an empty structure.

It can be seen that the specifications are different from ordinary residential buildings. Maybe this rockery was moved here for the building and is an artificial landscape in the community.

This is very interesting, Chen Pingsheng thought to himself. Placing an artificial rockery in the center of all human buildings sounds like it already contains some profound meaning.

He waited for a while and took a photo of the rockery just before the workers left the frame.

Coming out of the community and continuing to drive along the Yellow River, there are buildings under construction along the way. It seems that this place is undergoing development.

After turning a corner, he saw another strange building.

This was a scene he had never encountered before.

He didn't take a camera, but instead walked to the bottom of the building first. Looking at the rectangular shape made of densely packed steel pipes around it, he felt a faint sense of uneasiness.

It’s the unease about the possibility of accidents happening to human structures.

Going further, there are two workers sitting on a suspension bridge built with wooden frames. The suspension bridge leads directly to the top of the building, making it easier for the workers to enter for construction.

And the bridge is covered with green gauze, which is more eye-catching compared with the dark red steel pipe.

"Master!" Chen Pingsheng came closer, greeted the two of them, and handed over the cigarette in his hand.

Without any surprise, both of them took cigarettes. One of the young men took two cigarettes, and was glared at by the older worker next to him.

"What are you doing?" Chen Pingsheng put one leg on the bridge and leaned forward slightly to make himself more relaxed.

"The government's work is a landmark." The old worker responded. The green clothes on his body were covered with dust, and the safety helmet was not fastened tightly, but was worn diagonally on his head.

"Landmark?" Chen Pingsheng felt a little ridiculous when he heard this.Looking around again, as far as the eye can see, it is all white, with light yellow sand covering the entire field of vision. Wherever there are any traces of human beings, they are all natural landforms.

What landmark should be built here?Show it to ghosts?

But when I asked the master workers again, they had no answer. They just said that they didn't understand it either.

After all, they are all working people. They just work hard and don't have so much curiosity.

After chatting for a while, Chen Pingsheng picked up the tripod and camera from the car and found a place to set them up.

"Click!" Another photo was completed.

Chen Pingsheng looked at the weather and felt that he could take 1-2 more photos.

But just as he was cleaning up, the old worker next to him came over and talked to him.

"This thing of yours is quite expensive, isn't it?" He was smoking, and the smoke obscured his face, making it difficult to see his expression clearly.

"It's okay, not too expensive." Chen Pingsheng didn't tell the truth, but just replied vaguely.

The old worker looked at his car again: "It's such a good car, so be careful on the road."

"What do you mean?" Chen Pingsheng asked.

But the old worker shook his head and said, "There are some bullies and road thieves who like to rob you the most."

"There are still road bandits now?" Chen Pingsheng frowned. He knew that road bandits were rampant in the 90s, and people often blocked roads and robbed them.

Some people even dare to rob openly on the highway.

It was only later that after state governance, it disappeared and traces were found.

Didn't expect this place existed?

"Then I don't know, I'm just reminding you." The old worker looked at the cigarette and said.

Then left.

Chen Pingsheng sighed. After being persuaded like this, he now felt that there were seeds of uneasiness buried everywhere.

I continued on the road with an uneasy heart.

As the car continued to move forward, the scenery along the way became more and more desolate, and the appearance of the countryside continued to appear outside the car window.

At this time, an object displayed outside a dilapidated house attracted his attention.

"Snapped!"

After getting off the car, Chen Pingsheng looked at these tall sculptures outside the house.

They are all gray and white and come in different shapes. There are monkeys eating peaches, dogs roaring up to the sky, eagles on tree sculptures, and tigers with their mouths open to reveal sharp teeth.

Behind them, there is actually the roof of a Buddhist building placed there, which seems to have been randomly discarded here after being dismantled.

Religions, sculptures, statues, everything is placed here like garbage, no one cares about it, and no one worships it.

Coupled with the brick building next to it that had been abandoned for an unknown period of time, he felt that the place looked decadent and poetic.

Turning on the camera as usual, Chen Pingsheng stood by the tripod with his hands on his hips, waiting for the camera to turn on.

During this time, he has discovered many shortcomings of LG810, such as slow startup, loud shutter sound, strict lighting requirements, etc.

Although Linhaff's large-format camera also has its own shortcomings, it is not as expensive as Feiming's!
Chen Pingsheng really felt that this camera was not a good idea. Maybe it was a bold and pioneering attempt in the photography world, but it was indeed a bit too risky.

He didn't know how many units Feiming had prepared, or whether they could only make them to order.

If it is the latter, then at most it will be a loss of R&D funds. If it is the former, then it can only be said how much it will be lost.

Anyway, Chen Pingsheng himself had no intention of purchasing this camera.

Just kidding, what could you do with so much money?
Chen Pingsheng pulled out the camera and pointed it at the abandoned things. As soon as he pressed the shutter, he heard the uncontrollable cheers of children.

He turned around in confusion, only to find a group of children standing next to his car, taking things out of his car window!

"Hey!" He shouted, and the group of children immediately looked at him, with a certain cold calmness in their black and white eyes, and then everyone turned back and continued to get things.

"Fuck!" He picked up the tripod and hurried to the car.

When the children saw him coming so quickly, they had no choice but to give up trying to get the contents inside and choose to flee the scene.

Chen Pingsheng frowned and did not chase. He put the camera into the car first. Then he found that a large bag of food and drink was missing from his car, and some scattered tools were also taken away.

The ornaments in the car also disappeared. Fortunately, he put the camera and accessories under the seat and they were not taken.

Then he got out of the car and continued to check, and then he discovered that someone had scratched the car several times with stones.

"Gan!" Chen Ping, who was disgusted by the naughty child, breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that he was going to pay the car dealer now.

It was not a good place to stay for a long time. He originally wanted to continue shooting and immediately set off back to the city.

It’s time to start heading towards the start of the next leg.
