Rebirth of top photographers

Chapter 33 Looking for a Crow
In the blink of an eye, Chen Pingsheng had been on the mountain for four days.

He couldn't take a shower these days, so he could only wash his face with mineral water and wash his hair with water from the river every day.

There are only instant noodles and self-heating pots for meals. Although there are many flavors, eating too much fast food will still make you feel boring.

At night, he thought he would lie in the tent, look at the stars, and sleep peacefully.But after living there, I realized how harsh the crows were. Unable to endure insomnia, Chen Pingsheng had no choice but to get into the car, play hypnotic music or the sound of rain, and then turn up the volume to block out the noisy cries.

But there is also a good thing, maybe the crows are used to Chen Pingsheng's existence.When he was filming now, the crows didn't even run away in a swarm.Even the flashlight can't disturb them.

This made the filming progress much faster. Chen Pingsheng calculated that probably one-third of the content had been filmed.

And when I think about it, I thought I could finish the filming in a week. It was so naive.

In the past few days, Lin Zishan, Professor Li and Wei Seya were also asking about his shooting progress, but Chen Pingsheng didn't talk much. He just replied that it would take some time and stopped talking.

Even the notification messages from "Shadow Circle" have accumulated to 99+ again, but he has no time to take care of it.

He spent all his time photographing crows without even giving himself any time to rest.

During the break in shooting, he looked at his character panel again.

"Name: Chen Pingsheng"

"Photography: 23"

"Photography inspiration: 11"

"Photography field of view: 11"

Before coming to Songyuan, he submitted the photography book task last week, but the rating was only A-, because the photos he submitted were all from funerals, and he did not have time to take any photos alone, so the rating was not high.

Naturally, an A- rating can only allow him to draw 3 times. Fortunately, he was lucky and got Photographic Inspiration*1 and Photographic Vision*1. As for the extra point of Photographic Inspiration and Photography Technology, he got 1 more point in the past few days. Natural growth.

Chen Pingsheng didn't expect that taking a picture of a crow would improve his attributes, and he didn't regret his increasingly vicissitudes of face and dusty clothes.

It seems that this week’s photography book task cannot be taken alone. Fortunately, the photos of Wei Seya that Chen Pingsheng took before are available.

He planned to go back to the city on Saturday the day after tomorrow, tidy up, and then color the photos and submit them to the task.

After reading the panel, Chen Pingsheng stood up from under the tree and walked towards another forest.

"Dumb~dumb~" After listening to the crows for a week, Chen Pingsheng has become accustomed to this sound. Although he still can't sleep well at night, at least he won't be woken up as easily as before.

The sky at this time was very clear, without any clouds blocking it, although it looked gray, like the light in a studio being blocked by a hood.

Chen Pingsheng walked to an open space where there were several wooden piles, which should have been cut down by villagers before.He was looking for the pictures in his mind and wanted to capture some close-ups of crows, but he had not been able to capture very satisfactory pictures in the past few days.

Putting one foot on the wooden stake, Chen Pingsheng raised his eyes and looked around. There were some withered yellow leaves hanging on the scattered dead trees, giving them a chilling atmosphere.The weather has been getting colder and colder these days, and you can actually see the breath coming out. The temperature is dropping as fast as a girl falling out, which is a bit surprising.

Just as Chen Pingsheng was looking into the distance, looking for what to shoot next, a crow suddenly landed on the treetop.

Acting on a photographer's instinct, he picked up his camera and pointed it at the crow.

"Dumb~dumb~" the crow screamed sadly, the voice was louder than usual, as if it was expressing something.

Chen Pingsheng zoomed in on the camera, and through the viewfinder he could clearly see the crow's beak opening and closing. Its feathers were smooth, and the color was as black as a mass of rich ink. Under the gray-white sky, it had the beauty of an ink painting.

He pressed the shutter button and was about to put away the camera when he suddenly saw the crow lift its feet.

Chen Pingsheng was shocked, and his whole body tensed up and entered a state of preparation.

Immediately afterwards, he saw this scene: The crow was standing on a branch with one foot and one foot raised.The three claws are separated, and the sharp nails are like curved moons.His beak and talons are on the right side at the same time, and his body is straight. Under the gray-white skylight, it looks like the ink colors painted on the painting paper.Chen Pingsheng couldn't help but press the shutter button, then adjust the angle and take another picture. His heart was full of joy.Not only because he captured some scenes that are difficult for ordinary people to see, but also because the entire photography collection finally has a home page photo.

This will be the first photo of "The Crow" that all viewers will see.

After stretching its body, the crow spread its wings and flew away from Chen Pingsheng's lens.

This made him feel that the bird seemed to have come to fulfill him on purpose. During the photography process, he would always encounter various accidents and surprises. Many things could not have been anticipated by the photographer before they happened. They can only be said to be God's fault. arrange.

Chen Pingsheng waited for a while, and when no crow appeared, he walked to the other end of the mountain.

He has not been here before, and today he thinks he can go down the mountain from here and then circle back to his ancestral home.

Chen Pingsheng always felt that he could encounter something else.

But until he got down the mountain, he didn't see anything worth photographing, so he started walking around the mountain.

There are dirt roads here, and there are some iron poles standing on the ground on the roadside. I don’t know what they are used for.

As he was walking and thinking, he was stunned by the sight in front of him.

Because he saw exactly the same scene as in his dream. A lonely crow had one foot entangled with a thin rope on an iron rod. It was swinging back and forth with the cold wind, swaying and swaying.

This was exactly the same as the death of the crow in his dream!
The air fell into silence.

The silent Chen Pingsheng looked at each other a few meters away from the swaying crow.

He could see that the crow's dark eyes had long since lost all life, and they were just faithfully reflecting the things around them.The sharp beak is no longer scary, and the smooth feathers have lost their luster, looking withered and dull.

Taking a few steps closer, Chen Pingsheng seemed to see himself through its eyes.

He raised the camera and with a click, Chen Pingsheng completed the shooting.

But he didn't feel how happy he was. Instead, he was suddenly surrounded by a strong emotion. He didn't know what it was, but he just felt that he felt very lost at this moment.

This emotion was unreasonable and made him feel as if everything was meaningless and empty.

So he simply sat on the ground and looked up at the sky.

High in the sky, a plane flew over his head.In the woods, a crow flew under the plane at the same time.

"Crack!"

Chen Pingsheng subconsciously captured this moment.

He let go of the camera and looked at his hands, feeling a little dazed. In just a few seconds, he couldn't remember how he captured the photos with the camera.It was as if everything he had experienced was false.Maybe when he wakes up from a dream, he will find that he is actually the crow.

The hanged crow.

He seemed to see black feathers growing out of his hands, and the soft beak turned into a hard beak.It feels like my body is becoming lighter and I am about to fly to the horizon or another world.

The weather is getting colder and colder, and there are even flakes of white snow falling on Chen Pingsheng's mouth.

With a slight move of his mouth, the snow melted away and turned into a puddle of water that flowed into his throat.

Stumbling to the lake at the foot of the mountain, Chen Pingsheng knelt down and wiped his face with water, trying to get rid of this illusion.

But he didn't expect that at a glance, he saw a figure reflected in the lake. It was clearly a huge crow.
