"Sorry, I really don't have time."
Li Shi shook his head and smiled, ignoring the other party's subsequent reply for the time being. He directly logged out of the "Level 3 Photographer" WeChat account, got up, and drove the Volvo to the nearby CapitaLand Plaza.
I first went to the mall to choose two autumn clothes for my mother. When I passed a skin care store, I remembered that my mother's hands were prone to cracking after the cold weather, so I went in for consultation.
The shopping guide recommended a moisturizing hand cream, and also reminded Li Shi that hands and feet are prone to dryness and cracking in winter. It is most likely due to a lack of certain vitamins in the body. It is best to go to the hospital for a physical examination. You can do this under the guidance of a doctor. Corresponding additions are made below.
Li Shi knew that after his mother's major surgery, he went for a review one year. Li Shi remembered this and went to the internal medicine department and asked her to take a blood test to check for trace elements. From then on, he bought some vitamins for his mother every year.
But I still thanked the male shopping guide for the reminder and bought two sets of the hand cream he recommended.
The other party wanted to add a WeChat message to say that there would be any good products in the future that he could recommend to him, but Li Shi declined.
I bought clothes and hand cream, then went to the supermarket to buy a bunch of things. I returned to the rental house and turned on the computer. After a while, at three o'clock in the afternoon, I started online classes.
Today Xiao Yuan is talking about "Practical Practice of Natural Scenery Photography".
He talked about it in detail, and specifically based on Li Shi's needs, he used actual shooting scenes to analyze the basic shooting techniques, such as shooting waterfalls and streams, shooting the skyline of the sea, grasslands, etc.
…
At five o'clock, the online class ended. Li Shi hung up the video and did not leave the desk in a hurry. Instead, he reviewed the content of the class just now and made some summaries before finally ending the study.
I checked Weibo, Douyin and Bilibili on my mobile phone. There was no change in the data and there were no new comments.
“If we don’t release new stuff, that’s it.”
Li Shi shook his head, put down his phone, and began to think about his next photography practice plan.
“This time I want to take pictures of natural scenery, so I have two goals: mountains and forests and starry skies.”
“Where are we going to shoot?”
"I'm going back anyway. The scenery of the mountains and forests in my hometown is beautiful, and it's a good shooting target."
"The rest is the starry sky..."
Li Shi searched online for "Where in the country has the best starry sky?" The results came out in a variety of ways, saying that they are everywhere, but most of these places have a common feature, which is high altitude and close to the sky.
He checked the posts on 20 or 30 different websites, and he had an idea in his mind, and he selected a place that was not only suitable for photographing the starry sky, but also suitable for photographing lakes, and even suitable for practicing ecological photography - Caiyunzhinan.
"Let's go after the National Day!"
After confirming the follow-up practice plan, Li Shi went to QQ to communicate with Xiao Yuan, hoping that he could advance the course schedule tomorrow.
"Of course, no problem. Let's add a class tomorrow morning. Let's not talk about it for now. It's dark!"
Xiao Yuan agreed immediately.
Five blacks? Li Shi was a little surprised. It seemed that he hadn't played a game with anyone in a few years.
“When you upgrade your camera photography to (proficient-), you can slow down the pace a little and take more time to enjoy life next time you learn.”
Xiao Yuan is just a tool to supplement learning and answer questions at any time.
Li Shi quit QQ and began to sort out the "ecological photography" knowledge he had learned.
I was busy until about nine o'clock when I suddenly felt something.
"In fact, you don't need to pay too much attention to the so-called classification, but treat them as different themes. The same model can take photos of different styles according to different themes, and the same landscape can be the same."
"Even the same news scene can be photographed with two completely opposite expressions according to the set theme. Some reporters photograph it as a happy event, and some reporters photograph it as a funeral event..."
All classifications are based on the application of basic technologies!
"Just transfer the delicacy of my photography of women to all other categories, or in other words, themes. As long as the basic skills are improved, the final battle is aesthetics and imagination!"
With this realization, Li Shi feels that his overall photography theory level has improved a lot, and he is full of confidence in improving to (proficient-) as soon as possible!
"It's time to upgrade some equipment. Apart from anything else, let's get a few types of lenses ready first."
After watching photography equipment reviews on several video platforms, Li Shi suddenly remembered that he rejected Ms. Wu during the day. He logged into the "Level 3 Photographer" WeChat ID with his mobile phone and took a look, and found that she had sent two WeChat messages later.
"How about doubling the labor fee?"
"If you really don't have time, forget it."
This was sent when we first started chatting, and more than an hour later, she sent another one.
"By the way, Teacher Li, it's my birthday next month and I want to take some photos of my life. Can I ask you to take them again?"
Li Shi thought for a moment and typed back: "I've been busy and I just saw WeChat. Sorry, Ms. Ha Wu, I don't have time next month."
After more than ten seconds, the other party replied: "Nowadays, very few young people don't look at their mobile phones for several hours. Isn't this your WeChat account?"
Li Shi replied: "It's not a trumpet account, it's my work account."
Ms. Wu: "Then can I add you on WeChat, which you use daily? I think you are a good person. Let's make a friend."
Li Shi blinked, making friends?
The scene of filming the milk bath yesterday came to his mind. The bathtub was very big, and the milk in the bathtub was very white.
Ms. Wu seems to be a very warm-hearted person. Not long after we met, she thought it would be good to introduce her to her girlfriend, introduce her to business, and make friends.
Li Shi sent his WeChat ID, and after a while, a female account named "Wu Yuan" sent a friend request. Looking at the notes, it turned out to be Ms. Wu who had been personally instructed on the photo poses by Li Shi.
this?
Li Shi couldn't help but smile. It turned out that the "laughing bun" was also her trumpet.
Sure enough, everyone nowadays has several vests.
Friends passed.
Wu Yuan: "I didn't expect that, that one is also my trumpet, haha!"
Li Shi replied with a (touching the back of the head) emoticon, clicked on her Moments, and browsed through them casually, and found that they were all advertisements for a Hunan restaurant chain.
Wu Yuan: "Let's not talk anymore. It's time for me to practice yoga in the evening."
Li Shi was not happy about the conversation at first, so he directly replied: "Okay, let's talk later."
After logging out of WeChat, he continued to watch the evaluation video. Gradually, he had a purchase list in his mind. He searched directly on the JD.com app and placed orders one by one.
I have to say that the cost of learning photography is really high. Just buying a few things can cost you tens of thousands.
The next morning, Li Shi was taking online classes, and Ms. Wu Yuanwu sent two WeChat messages.
He was immersed in the practical study of ecological photography and did not look at his mobile phone. He waited until twelve o'clock when the online class ended, and reviewed and summarized the study as usual before unlocking it.
"Teacher Li, can I ask you a question about taking pictures?"
"When taking selfies of your whole body, how can you prevent your thighs from being so thick?"
