Rebirth of top photographers

Chapter 267
Just like Boss Iwata's words, the snow started to fall on the sixth day after Chen Pingsheng came here.

Different from the pattering of snow before, this time the snow was obviously heavier, falling from the sky like goose feathers, directly covering every corner.

Chen Pingsheng got up at 05:30 in the morning, which was the alarm clock he set for himself every day.

Because if it snows in the middle of the night, you can only shoot after dawn, so if you get up at this time, you won’t miss the key scenery of Qingchi Pond.

Sure enough, he guessed right.

The snow started falling at one o'clock in the morning. Because the snowflakes were bigger, the ground was already covered with a thin layer of white.

For Qingchi, this is undoubtedly the best state.

"Dong dong dong!" Chen Pingsheng knocked on Huang Liao's door.

After that, he got into the car first. He planned to wait for 10 minutes. If Huang Liao didn't catch up or didn't wake up, he would go and finish the photo of Qingchi.

But it was obvious that he underestimated Huang Liao. The girl rushed out of the door in only 3 minutes.

She tied her hair in a braid at the back of her head, wore pajamas and a down jacket, opened the door with a device in her hand, and sat in the passenger seat.

It's strange to say that although Huang Liao and Chen Pingsheng have only known each other for half a year, sometimes the same ideas make the two people feel as if they have been working together for more than ten years.

No need to say anything, both parties can understand what the other person means.

If it had been someone else, they might have heard the knock on the door and wondered if it was a waiter.Or if you don’t see Chen Pingsheng after you come out, you might think he is still sleeping in the house.

But Huang Liao didn't. She immediately realized that only Chen Pingsheng would knock on the door at this time. Plus it was snowing, so he must be ready to go out at any time, so she went directly to the car.

Sure enough, I saw Chen Pingsheng who was ready.

The two people drove straight to Qingchi.

On the way, Huang Liao tidied herself up briefly in the mirror, and then took stock of the equipment she needed.

However, there is really no need to prepare anything at Qingchi. After all, it is impossible to light up such a large scene and can only rely on skylight.

So just grab your camera and shoot.

Huang Liao checked the battery power and SD memory card. After finding that there were no problems, he looked out the window.

If there is any mistake that photographers are most likely to make when shooting, it must be losing the lens cap and forgetting to bring the memory card. It is also something that will most likely happen if you don't bring the battery with you.

Especially when going out to shoot, once the memory card is not brought, everyone has to wait for him to get it.

This has also led to similar memes or videos in the photography circle, and there are even more funny clips.Chen Pingsheng had seen one before. It was in a studio. The director and actors were all ready, and they even started shooting a few sets of shots.

The director kept saying that this was his most satisfying performance and that he must keep it well. However, he turned to the photographer and said that he had no card.

Gee, it can be said that the director was so angry that he even wanted to kill people.

After Chen Pingsheng told Huang Liao the joke, the vehicle also arrived at the Qingchi.

There was still no one on the bridge, maybe because it was too early, or maybe because everyone was insensitive to this time.

Chen Pingsheng picked up his tripod and camera and came to the bridge.

The clear pool has changed a lot compared to before. The bare branches are all covered with white snow. The blue pool also forms a sharp contrast with the snowflakes. It looks crystal clear and beautiful.

There are no precautions for this kind of natural beauty. As long as the parameters of the machine are correct, it will look the same no matter who takes the photo.

"Crack!"

"Crack!"

Chen Pingsheng took a photo every 10 minutes, just to select the best photo. Huang Liao was on the side to help him synchronize the transfer to the computer, and also picked up the camera and took a few photos himself.

As time went by, more and more people began to gather, and the sound of vehicles gradually filled this quiet place.

In just an hour, Chen Pingsheng and Huang Liao saw the clear pool gradually freezing. The originally blue color of the pool had begun to become blurry due to the ice layer.

"It seems that the best shooting period has passed." Huang Liao sighed. This was the first time she had seen such a short window period.

Like an epiphyllum, it only blooms at specific times.

"Yeah, let's go, it's done." Satisfied, Chen Pingsheng returned to the car with his camera and returned to the town.

"Are we leaving now?" Huang Liao asked.

"No, wait until I finish adjusting the photos and send them to Apple to finish the work. Anyway, Mr. Sakamoto hasn't sent me a message yet, so there's no need to leave in a hurry." After finally living in such a peaceful and beautiful place, Chen Pingsheng didn't want to leave quickly.

"Let me renew your accommodation fee for you." Chen Pingsheng was worried that Huang Liao didn't have enough money, so he took the initiative.

"No need." Huang Liao shook his head: "I'm not short of money."

Chen Pingsheng looked at her and asked curiously: "Speaking of which, what does your family do?"

"In my home?" Huang Liao paused for a moment and said, "My father is in the leather factory business, and my mother is in the nursing home business."

"Sounds good." Chen Pingsheng joked: "Jiangnan Leather Factory?"

"Yes, Boss Huang, they all call him that." Huang Liao laughed.

"Are you going to take over in the future?" Chen Pingsheng turned the steering wheel in his hand and turned a corner.

"If I don't take over, my brother will take over." Huang Liao shook his head: "I just want to be a photographer."

"My parents actually wanted me to go abroad when I was young, but I didn't agree. At that time, I couldn't bear to leave my friends in China. Later, I accidentally learned about photography, and I started to collect albums and photo albums by myself. I didn't find a professional teacher to learn from during the art exam. What, I just took the exam myself."

"Then you are very good, you passed the exam directly." Chen Pingsheng praised.

"Hey, it's okay, although my test score is actually average. The main reason is that I don't want to repeat the exam, and to be honest, I won't delay my future life no matter what school I go to." Although Huang Liao's words were very true, they were also more Versailles.

"It's sour, it turns out she's a rich woman. How disrespectful!" Chen Pingsheng smacked his mouth: "It seems that the little Bodhisattva in my temple is big."

"Haha, no, I was hoping to learn from you." Huang Liao rolled down the car window and let the snowflakes fall on his clothes.

"Then do your parents know that you come to work at my place?" Chen Pingsheng turned on the windshield wipers. The snow was getting heavier and heavier, and it had begun to block his vision.

"I know, but I didn't tell them to run around the world." Huang Liao replied.

"Well, it always feels like I kidnapped and trafficked you." Chen Pingsheng teased with a smile.

"I volunteered." Huang Liao's smile was deep, and two pear dimples appeared.

"Chen Sang, you take your work very seriously!" Boss Iwata said with emotion as he looked at Chen Pingsheng, who comes here every day to drink and mix colors on the computer.

"Haha, Mr. Iwata, your wine is so delicious. So I had to bring my computer over." Chen Pingsheng ordered another wine that he often drank before, and continued: "But I have to leave tomorrow. , I plan to go to the surrounding snow-capped mountains to see." "Really, you must be careful then."

"Don't worry." Chen Pingsheng nodded, sat down and began to make final adjustments.

"Dong." Boss Iwata put the wine glass in front of him and turned to leave.

Chen Pingsheng drank a big sip neatly, feeling that the slightly cold beer should not match too well with the snowy scene outside the window.

After the photo was adjusted, he immediately sent an email to Apple.

Foreign companies handle things through emails rather than through office software such as Feishu and DingTalk, so the response efficiency cannot be compared with domestic ones.

Chen Pingsheng also has obsessive-compulsive disorder. He doesn't like other situations to suddenly occur within the prescribed tasks, so he can only sit in the bar and drink while waiting.

It wasn't until 10 minutes later that Apple responded, saying that the photo was very good and I was very satisfied.

Seeing this, Chen Pingsheng stood up and planned to say hello to Boss Iwata and leave.

Unexpectedly, Boss Iwata handed him a paper bag.

"What is this? Mr. Iwata?" Chen Pingsheng looked at the bag in his hand doubtfully and found that there were two bottles of sake inside.

"This is the sake I brewed for you." Boss Iwata said with a smile.

"I'm really sorry, Mr. Iwata, I can't take it for free." Chen Pingsheng was about to pay him, but Boss Iwata refused directly and said he would not accept the money.

"There is no selling price for these two bottles of wine. My family has not put them out for sale yet, so they are not for sale. Chen Sang, just accept them."

"Thank you very much." Chen Pingsheng couldn't resist the hospitality and could only accept it, and then left the bar under the eyes of Boss Iwata.

Although there is no human touch in the metropolis of Tokyo, a small place like Qingchi gives Chen Pingsheng a passion he has not felt for a long time.

He took the wine and returned to the hot spring hotel. Huang Liao had already packed his luggage.

"Are we going to climb a snow mountain?" Her tone was very excited.

"Yes, there is a small snow mountain nearby. It is not difficult, but I heard from the locals that the scenery above is particularly good."

The reason why Chen Pingsheng suddenly wanted to go to the snow-capped mountains was actually not to see the scenery, but to overcome his own psychological barriers.

In his previous life, he was buried in a snowy mountain. An avalanche caused by extreme weather caused his death.

So now whenever he sees the snow-capped mountains, he feels a chill that penetrates his heart and spreads from head to toe.

Of course, he could avoid the snow-capped mountains and never set foot in them again, but Chen Pingsheng was somewhat unwilling to do so. He didn't want to live in the shadows for the rest of his life.

So he wanted to break his restraint in facing the snow-capped mountains, at least not to be so afraid.

Of course, he would not deliberately seek death. He just wanted to get rid of his inner demons, not to start his life over again.

And who knows if he will have another chance.

Therefore, he deliberately found a low snow-capped mountain that most locals had visited, and the route was certain, so there was no danger.

After Huang Liao heard about the snow mountain, she also begged Chen Pingsheng to climb it together. She had never climbed a snow mountain before or camped in it.

Chen Pingsheng thought for a while and agreed, but he asked Huang Liao to follow orders.

After the two people arrived at the foot of the snow-capped mountains, they started buying the necessary items in a nearby town, such as trekking poles, ice axes, jackets, ropes, tents, etc.

They are sold in nearby towns. Because many people from the surrounding areas come to climb snow mountains, a cluster effect has been formed here.

Everything for snow mountain climbing is available here, and every store owner knows the snow mountain well. After Chen Pingsheng purchased the supplies, he chatted with the boss and wanted to learn some useful skills.

In fact, there are many things to pay attention to, such as climbing skills and terrain selection, as well as paying attention to the climate and camping on a leeward slope.

But Chen Pingsheng also understands this. After all, he has been to several snow mountains in his previous life, and there is no problem with the basic operation.

Mountain climbing will only be faster and easier now than before, and the muscles you have built for so long are not in vain.

He mainly asked the store owner about the route selection and viewing location of the snow-capped mountains.

"This snow mountain, if you want to find the best viewing position, is on the right side of the established route. When you go up, you can see the wooden sign inserted on it. There are three roads, and the road on the far right has the best scenery. .”

When the store owner saw that he had bought so many things, he began to share his experience with him. Chen Pingsheng and Huang Liao listened and took notes, and soon they had a clear understanding of what he had learned.

In the evening, the two people prepared the necessary things one by one and put them in the room for inspection.

"Flashlight, survival box." Although this snowy mountain is not dangerous, you still need to be fully prepared and not be careless in the slightest.

"Can you see the starry sky at night in the snow-capped mountains?" Huang Liao looked forward to it.

Chen Pingsheng nodded his chin: "I'll definitely see it. I can take some photos then."

"Use my camera to shoot a group of time-lapses." Huang Liao's camera is from Canon, which is more suitable for shooting time-lapses than Fei Ming.

Feiming's machine is a little more delicate. If you put it on a snowy mountain to shoot time-lapse, it would be scrapped halfway through.

"Okay, but we still have to check the weather. If it's too cold, forget it." Chen Pingsheng put things into his backpack one by one, and then put on his clothes. In order to be able to climb the snow-capped mountains, they need to train a few days in advance. Find out Feel.

The next day, "It's so cold!" Even though Huang Liao was wrapped in thick clothes, she was still penetrated by the coldness of the snow-capped mountains.

After they followed the climbers for half the distance, they returned to the car and summarized the problems they encountered so far.

Naturally, Chen Pingsheng would not directly climb the mountain and then spend the night. That would be courting death.

You need to try it at least a few times and get used to the process and environment before taking the next step.

Huang Liao put her hands in front of the hot wind and sighed: "Snowy mountains are really difficult to climb."

"Yeah, at first you wanted to go up directly." Chen Pingsheng thought it was okay and he had enough energy.

"I was wrong, Master Xueshan!" Huang Liao took a sip of hot water to warm up her body: "I need to add a few more clothes."

"Well, let's stop here today and continue trying tomorrow."

"Then when are we going to climb the mountain?" Huang Liao looked up at the towering mountain peaks.

"Depending on the weather, if everything is suitable, then climb the mountain in three days!"
