Rebirth of top photographers

Chapter 266 In Qingchi

Hokkaido, Qingchi.

Many local people in Japan who have a desire to explore the beautiful scenery gather here. They come here as a family, or they stop by alone when traveling in Hokkaido.

What Chen Pingsheng wanted to shoot was the scenery in the clear pool, but it was just more difficult to capture than the scenery seen by tourists.

What he wanted to shoot was the scene of trees in a clear pond covered with fresh snow under the first snow. It is said that this photo can only be taken once a year.

If you miss it, you have to wait until next year.

Therefore, Chen Pingsheng had to rush to Qingchi as soon as it started snowing and capture this critical moment.

This undoubtedly requires more patience and luck.

Although snow has begun to fall in other places in Neon, it has not snowed in Qingchi this year, so after arriving at their destination, Chen Pingsheng and Huang Liao went to see the filming location with their own eyes.

Qingchi is not a tourist attraction, and there are no rules for charging tickets. As long as you stand on the bridge on the roadside, you can see rows of trees neatly lined up in the blue pool.

The reason why there is only one opportunity every year is because after snowfall, it will quickly freeze and accumulate snow, and the blue pool will no longer be visible.

So if you want to get the best shot, you need to capture the first snow.

Huang Liao had already checked the weather in the car. It had been sunny for the past three days, so the two of them were in no hurry.

Chen Pingsheng first took out the camera, took a few sample photos of the clear pool, then adjusted the parameters and put it back in the car.

Then the two returned to the town and entered the reserved hot spring hotel.

"Welcome!" The proprietress in kimono greeted them at the door and took them to the corresponding room.

"Wow." There was only the sound of the wooden door sliding in the room. Wooden furniture, warm-toned tatami mats, and a double bed could be seen everywhere.

The most surprising thing is that on the balcony, there is a large bathtub with a view of the yard through the glass.When taking a bath, you feel as if you are in the woods, which is undoubtedly comfortable and comfortable.

Chen Pingsheng changed his clothes and went to the hot spring.

After all, going to Neon and not taking a hot spring bath is as strange as going to Shanghai and not seeing the Oriental Pearl Tower.

There are many types of hot springs here, but the one where Chen Pingsheng lives is separated for men and women, so all Chen Pingsheng can see are some elderly uncles in the pool.

This is very similar to the bathhouses in the Northeast. They are soaked in a large pool and even have things like scrubbing.

Walking into the pool, Chen Pingsheng sat down slowly, letting the hot spring gradually bury his chest. Then he raised his head and saw the star-studded sky.

The silence, comfort, and worries disappeared in an instant, and only the sound of rushing water in his ears reminded him of where he was.

And just when Chen Pingsheng was about to close his eyes and rest his mind, he suddenly saw a little more white in the sky.

These white elves were like naughty troublemakers. They suddenly appeared at the most unexpected time, shocking Chen Pingsheng.

"Is it snowing for the first time?" He immediately stood up from the steaming hot spring. The uncle beside him also sighed after seeing this: "It's finally snowing."

"Yeah, it feels like the last time it snowed was still far away."

"Hey, the city is going to turn white again."

Chen Pingsheng walked back to the house, changed out of his clothes, and then checked the weather forecast.Sure enough, this snow is the first snow, and the software prompt will last all day.

But now he can't believe the weather function of the software, because there was no warning of snow before.

So Chen Pingsheng looked at the dark sky outside and decided to drive to Qingchi at night and wait until early tomorrow morning to take photos.

And just as he was planning to take the photo, there was a sudden knock on the door.

"Creak." The door opened, and Huang Liao was standing at the door.

She was wearing the kimono given to them by the store, and her neat short hair had reached below her earlobes, which seemed to make her entire face much gentler. Although there was no pink on her face, her delicate and fair skin made her look purer.

If he hadn't known her age, Chen Pingsheng might have thought she was a 16-year-old girl from Neon.

"It's snowing, do you want to go filming?" Huang Liao raised her head and asked.

"Let's wait until we finish eating. I plan to stay in the car until tomorrow. You can just rest in the hotel." Chen Pingsheng picked up the bag at hand.

"I'll go with you too." Huang Liao rejected Chen Pingsheng's proposal. As an assistant, she could not allow herself to be idle.

"Okay." Chen Pingsheng hesitated, nodded, and agreed to follow her.

After that, the two people found the waiter at the hot spring hotel to order food. The room they booked brought their own dinner, so there was no need to order extra.

The waiter quickly brought the corresponding meals to the room. Across the table, Chen Pingsheng and Huang Liao looked at the plates of Japanese dishes in front of them.

From sushi to sukiyaki, to tempura and sashimi.

The dinner seemed both light and sumptuous.

Chen Pingsheng picked up a piece of sashimi and put it in his mouth. The soft texture and sweet taste captured him immediately.

In fact, in terms of deliciousness, he thinks domestic pickled food is better. Both in terms of seasoning and texture, it is more layered than Japanese food.

But I don’t dare to eat too much of this stuff for fear of parasites.

Therefore, Chen Pingsheng only ate two slices of sashimi before he started working on the sukiyaki pot.

This is his favorite thing in Japanese food. As for other tempura or roasted birds, after trying it, he felt that there was no comparison with Northeastern barbecue. The gap was too far.

Chen Pingsheng eats relatively quickly, but Huang Liao eats very slowly.

Like most girls, it takes a long time to chew one bite.

But Chen Pingsheng ate a lot, so they both finished almost at the same time.

"Let's go!" Chen Pingsheng took the necessary items and got to the car first, waiting for Huang Liao.

There were gradually more snowflakes outside. Opening the car window, Chen Pingsheng stretched out his hand and let the snow fall on his palm, feeling the cold temperature.

Unlike in China, the density of buildings is very low.Because the hot spring hotel is on the top of a slope, Chen Pingsheng looked around and could see thousands of lights in the town below. There was a short distance between them, and there were very few pedestrians on the road, making it look unusually quiet.

"Pah." Huang Liao got into the car after changing her clothes.

Chen Pingsheng took his hand back, then drove to Qingchi.

The road conditions near Qingchi were much cleaner at night than during the day. The waiting vehicles also returned to the town. There were only two or three vehicles parked here, but there was no one inside. It seemed that they had gone to camp elsewhere.

There was no one else next to Qingchi. Chen Pingsheng and the two of them directly occupied the best position, parked the car, and faced the bridge with a view of Qingchi. "We have to wait until the sunrise in the morning." Huang Liao's tone was still a little excited, as if he had never experienced such a thing.

Chen Pingsheng nodded: "That's right, shooting can't be done until at least after sunrise."

"There are still a few hours..." Huang Liao picked up the pillow he brought and rested his chin on it, speaking in a lazy tone.

"Yes." He turned on the radio, and melodious music immediately came from the radio.

"When you close your eyes, you can never go back. The world that was colorful until just now is now like an phantom."

A gentle and magnetic voice immediately sounded in this small space. This was "Midsummer Showers" from Uda Tamitsu's new album, and it was also Chen Pingsheng's favorite album.

Accompanied by the warm yellow roof lights, Chen Pingsheng adjusted the seat back, lowered it, and leaned on it.

Turning your head, you can see the pattering of light snow outside. They fall on the leafless branches, quietly changing everything into a white world.

Huang Liao followed his example and put down the back of the chair, then hugged the pillow, closed her eyes, listened to the song, and enjoyed the quiet moment.

"If you feel uncomfortable sleeping, go back." Chen Pingsheng advised again. The reason why he waited here was because of his personal preference.

A closed and small space feels more secure to him, but Huang Liao does not necessarily.

But she didn't agree, and just said in a small voice: "I want to try."

"Okay." Chen Pingsheng put his hands behind his head and looked out the window quietly, enjoying this rare moment of leisure.

Unknowingly, the black on the horizon slowly faded, turning into a rich orange, and the sky brightened immediately.

"Snapped."

Chen Pingsheng closed the car door quietly without disturbing Huang Liao, who was sleeping soundly in the back seat. He got out of the car and went to the bridge alone, looking at the azure blue pool.

Unfortunately, it only snowed for half the night, which was far from what the software suggested.

Therefore, there were not many white traces left on the branches, which did not match the picture in Chen Pingsheng's imagination.

So he got back into the car.

"Is the time up?" Huang Liao woke up at this time, leaned out of the car window, stretched out, showed off her beautiful figure to the birds on the tree, and then asked Chen Pingsheng.

"No, the snow has stopped, so today is not a suitable day." Chen Pingsheng started the car and drove towards the town.

"I thought I could finish filming directly." Huang Liao rubbed his hair, feeling a little sleepy.

"It seems it didn't go so smoothly." Chen Pingsheng smiled. There was no rush anyway. Since Qingchi couldn't take pictures, let's take pictures of this town first.

"Crack!"

Two hours later, after finishing their meal, Chen Pingsheng and Huang Liao came to the town and started taking pictures with their cameras.

It’s not for the purpose of creating anything, I just think this town is very comfortable and worth shooting.

Therefore, Chen Pingsheng did not follow the rules of the decisive moment to shoot, but made the picture look like the scene in the neon animation, with low snow-colored houses, orange-red notice signs, and pedestrians on the road. and a cheerful Shiba Inu.

"It's beautiful." Huang Liao looked at the world in Chen Pingsheng's camera and felt very healed.

Sometimes simple photos and a quiet environment can create an unparalleled atmosphere.This is the advantage of neon and many countries. Photographers often don’t need to think too much to take photos that are touching enough.

In comparison, domestic cities and towns appear too dense and lack design.

But in contrast, you can take many more humanistic photos in China, but it is not so easy to take such photos in Neon.

After all, people here only care about their own affairs, as if they are afraid of society, and never care about the lives of others.

Human interaction is really scarce.

Only in small places in the countryside, the human touch is more intense, such as the tavern here in Qingchi.

"Chen Sang, here we come again!" Boss Iwata greeted Chen Pingsheng happily, as if he saw a regular customer.

Chen Pingsheng and his wife have been here for four days, and since the light snowfall on the first day, it has not continued to snow here, so Chen Pingsheng had to find something to do in the town.

And the most suitable thing is of course drinking.

The wine here is all home-brewed, and the flavor is completely different from that in the city. The smell and taste are much richer.

Chen Pingsheng fell in love with it after drinking it once. He came here every day to order a glass of wine and some side dishes to go with the wine, and sit by the window and look at the scene outside.

Occasionally Huang Liao would chat online on the computer opposite, and occasionally he would sit here alone.

"Your friend isn't here?" Boss Iwata asked, then handed Chen Pingsheng a beer.

"No, she went to take pictures." Huang Liao has also been immersed in capturing the details of the town these days. He said that he wanted to take a few sets of selfie photos as souvenirs.

Once a woman takes a selfie, there is nothing for men to do.

So Chen Pingsheng went directly to the pub to drink.

"Mr. Iwata, do you think it will snow in the next few days?" Chen Pingsheng took the glass, took a sip, and asked with an admiration.

Boss Iwata looked out the window, took a sip of beer and said, "It's coming soon. I think it will snow in two days at most. If Chen Sang finishes filming, will he still stay here?"

Chen Pingsheng shook his head: "I will go to work somewhere else next."

"I'm so envious." Boss Iwata's eyes were full of memories: "When I was young, I also liked to travel around the world, but after I opened a tavern, I couldn't go out."

"Whenever Mr. Iwata hands over the pub to his children, he will be relieved." Chen Pingsheng has met his son, who is a 1.7-meter-tall boy who looks very honest.

Already this year.

Boss Iwata laughed: "Let him learn all my skills. I can't let the guests drink his rough beer."

"Hahaha, when I come here again in the future, I will definitely come here to drink." Chen Pingsheng took another sip, feeling the refreshing flow of the wine between his lips and teeth, and he was really reluctant to let go.

"That would be great." Boss Iwata chatted with him for a while about family issues. After the new guests came in, Chen Pingsheng sat back down.

Looking at the sky covered by clouds outside the window, it felt as if the marshmallow was gently wrapped in my dream, and I felt a foreboding feeling about something that was about to happen.

"It feels like it's really going to snow." Chen Pingsheng sipped his wine in small sips, stared at the sky, and sighed in the tone of a neon man.
