It’s okay to stop chatting. Chen Xing thought about how to colorize this photo.
Chen Xing likes to make good preparations for photos in the early stage, but if he wants to make a landscape work more attractive, then post-production is unavoidable. After all, the landscape photos he takes are not humanistic, so there is no shame in post-production.
A few more people came to their small shooting spot, and two of them were friends of the Nikon guy next to them. One was about the same age, and the other was a little younger, probably in his mid-twenties or older.
The beautiful woman who was behind Chen Xing while riding the camel also came over with her friends.
The two girls were no more than twenty-five years old. The one who chatted with Chen Xing was wearing sunglasses and was dressed like an urban lady. The collar of the windbreaker was also opened, revealing a little bit of black tights underneath. I didn’t know she was like this. Can it play a role in preventing wind and sand?
The other one is just the opposite of her. She wears a pink sportswear, looks very thin, wears a very cute hat, and has round eyes... If a beauty like this becomes an anchor on Bizhan, she will have tens of thousands of followers. ?
Chen Xing doesn't follow any platforms in China. He just likes to browse Beep. He is very aware of the habits of those LSPs.
"Handsome guy, let's have dinner together?"
"Okay, AA."
Chen Xing does not refuse to eat with strange female tourists. It can even be said that people like Chen Xing rarely travel. If they can have a meal together, they can have a meal together. After all, there are too many delicacies in one place, restaurants and hotels. There are also several signature dishes at every turn.
If you eat alone, you can order only two or three dishes at most. When there are more people, you can taste more dishes.
They also brought a camera, a very compact card camera. Chen Xing couldn't tell the brand and model, but it looked pretty and was suitable for girls to bring.
It’s just that Chen Xing feels that using a card machine is better than using a mobile phone.
Just for that little sense of ceremony?
After using the camera more, Chen Xing sometimes feels that the mobile phone is more convenient. After all, if you hold the mobile phone up, the person captured will not immediately think that you are taking a picture and then come to trouble you.
For many social workers, this is the greatest convenience.
In less than half an hour, everyone returned to the camel team with a tacit understanding, and Chen Xing also rode on the little camel.
I wonder if there are taller varieties of camels, otherwise how would you ride them if they are so short?
Others thought it was okay, but Chen Xing was used to the feeling of riding a horse and galloping. Sitting on the back of such a short camel always felt like an adult driving a bumper car.
Chen Xing just complained about the feeling of riding. Generally speaking, sitting on a camel and walking in the endless desert, listening to the sound of camel bells, the atmosphere is something that ordinary people cannot experience.
One hundred dollars, worth it.
He knew that scooters in some tourist attractions also had this price, but the scenery he visited was completely the same as walking. Compared with that, the camel that cost 100 yuan was so much better than them.
From where we stayed before, everyone can see the Crescent Moon Spring below the hillside.
But the downhill slope does not mean going directly from here. This slope is too steep. If any camel falls, it is not the problem of one camel, but may be the problem of the entire team.
After all, these camels are connected by ropes and are a whole.
So we took a little detour and approached Crescent Moon Spring step by step from a gentle place.
Crescent Moon Spring is very small.
Before seeing it, Chen Xing had never thought that Crescent Moon Spring was so small. It was only one hundred meters long from north to south, and only twenty-five meters wide at its widest point. This place only looks beautiful from a distance, because Seeing such a beautiful oasis in a desert environment is really eye-catching.
Several tourists who came in the same group as Chen Xing were a little disappointed and had no desire to travel and take photos. Chen Xing saw someone and took a random photo and started complaining to the people in his group.
"Isn't this just a small pond in a park?"
Don't tell me, they really look alike.
There is such a park in any third- or fourth-tier city. You can follow the cobblestone path to the edge of the pond. There may be a group of koi carps in it. There must be a pavilion next to it. Maybe you can still see it here. A rare folk musician.
Why are there so few people practicing folk music, such as flute or erhu, in the city?
Only by actually encountering it can you know the penetrating power of traditional Chinese folk music. The sound of you playing the bamboo flute may be heard in another building far away in the community.
So they usually go to the park to practice.
But this is Crescent Moon Spring, is that really all there is to it?
Chen Xing feels that there are always advantages here that others have not discovered, but there are too many tourists. Chen Xing searched for a long time but could not find a clean composition. What he heard in his ears was always noisy, and he could not calm down to listen to the sounds of this scenic spot. .
It would be nice if he was the only one in this small oasis in the desert, Chen Xing thought.
Time was limited, so Chen Xing quickly left Crescent Moon Spring and went hiking on Mingsha Mountain on the side.
The full name of Crescent Moon Spring is Mingsha Mountain Crescent Spring. Next to the spring is Mingsha Mountain. This is a huge sand dune with accumulated yellow sand in the desert. It is similar to the mountain they took pictures of before, but not as steep and dangerous.
From the top of the dune, a helicopter-like ladder is lowered, and tourists can slowly climb up to the top of the mountain on this ladder.
There were a lot of people going up the mountain at this time, because after a while they would be able to take pictures of the sunset at Crescent Moon Spring. The entire team looked like a long snake at the foot of the mountain or on the mountain. Chen Xing suddenly felt that it was interesting to take pictures of people going up the mountain.
He followed the group for a while and felt that the people in front were walking too slowly. He saw an old man carrying a seven or eight-year-old daughter running down the mountain on sand, so he walked out of the group.
But he didn't go up. When he saw the father descending safely, he looked back with relief.
Although it is not too steep, it is soft sand. It doesn't matter if you run down from it alone. It is indeed a bit dangerous if you are carrying a child on your back.
At this moment, Chen Xing saw another girl running down the mountain screaming...
Chen Xing understood.
It's not that the father wanted to run down the mountain. Maybe he only ran the first few steps of the whole journey and couldn't stop at all.
The sun hadn't set after Chen Xing went up the mountain, so he was waiting here with a group of people.
Someone was sharing photos he had taken, and Chen Xing went over to join in the fun.
"This is a model I made an appointment with in Dunhuang a few days ago. Although it is a mutual exemption, the quality is too high. The girls in Dunhuang are so beautiful!" This man was about thirty years old, with a clean beard and a rough and crazy look like a northwest artist. .
I feel like the kind of person who can sing Blue Lotus with just a guitar on his back.
"Brother, the photo was well done."
"Why does it look so good when you take it directly? Boss, look at my camera..."
There were many people watching, and Chen Xing also squeezed in to look at a few photos.
It's a Canon, and it looks like the settings have been adjusted, so no wonder the photos look so good.
Canon is famous for taking portraits.
Famously fake!
There are too few Canons used in Chen Xing’s school. This has nothing to do with the fact that the color of Canon is biased toward magenta. When taking portraits, the color bias towards magenta will make the portrait’s skin white and rosy, which should be a good thing.
But his screen is a little weird.
If you take a photo directly and show it to a girl or other people, it will look very beautiful, soft, and eye-catching. But if you export it to a computer, you will find that you no longer have the feeling of looking directly at the camera screen.
So few people in their school use it.
But when you take it out to take pictures with girls, people don’t think so. They just think it looks good when you take pictures like this.
The thing that Chen Xing remembers most clearly is that a professional photographer took Sony out to take photos of girls. It was not a mutual encouragement, but it was the kind where the model paid for the photographer. Then when he was in the park, the photographer discovered his Jobs were taken away by amateurs with Canons.
Chen Xing had forgotten who told him this, but he could remember it for a lifetime.
Fortunately I switched to Hasselblad.
"It's going down the mountain, it's going down the mountain!"
"The fire cloud has come out, it's so beautiful! Wow, this light!"
Chen Xing looked up and found that the sun was about to set. The best time to take pictures of the sunset was within half an hour.
The Crescent Moon Spring under the setting sun is not as bright as during the day. As it dims, it suddenly appears with a simple beauty. Chen Xing is thinking that if he is a lost person, he can walk up this mountain and see the oasis below. What a mood.
Beautiful, beautiful...
The only drawback is that there is a small oasis park next to it that is too modern.
He knew that repairing it would allow more tourists to have a place to rest, shop, and buy souvenirs, but as a landscape lover, Chen Xing did feel that repairing it was a bit redundant.
"Hey, handsome!"
Someone tapped Chen Xing on the shoulder, and the voice was very familiar.
Looking back, he saw that it was indeed the beautiful girl who was dressed very fashionably. Chen Xing subconsciously looked around and found the cute girl again.
To be honest, Chen Xing is more attracted to cute girls.
"I just sent you a WeChat message and you didn't reply to my message? I came up and saw how beautiful this place is. You must be up here." She smiled happily, and now the sun was no longer glaring. She also put away her sunglasses. Black eyeliner makes her eyes bright.
"I didn't notice, sorry."
"It's okay, I'll definitely call you then. I just want to ask you if you're going back to Dunhuang so late? How about staying here? And there's also a place to eat."
"Here?" Chen Xing looked down the mountain.
Doesn't it look like there are hotels and restaurants?
"It's not over there, it's outside the scenic area. There is a desert camp. There are tents to stay in, and there are also many dining cars, but the price is a bit expensive." She looked at Chen Xing, with her hands behind her back, and her upper body slightly closer to Chen Xing, and said: " But I said I’d like to treat you, not AA.”
Chen Xing had no time to look at her sudden temptation. He picked up the camera, pointed it over the girl's shoulder, and started to prepare for the sky in the distance.
He said smoothly: "That won't work. I'm used to paying separately."
The AA system is more popular in Paris, which is just right. Chen Xing doesn't like the default custom in China where strangers are not familiar with each other and the man has to pay for the treat. Why?
Neither can women.
Seeing Chen Xing looking at the viewfinder of the camera, the girl was speechless for a while and said:
"Oh well."
Returning to her best friend, she pouted and said, "Momo, I'm not attractive anymore..."
The cute girl giggled and said, "I'm such an old lady, what have you never seen before as a photographer?"
"I'm not bad either, okay?" She straightened up.
In fact, Chen Xing's guess is correct. This cute girl is indeed a small Internet celebrity. She sings in live broadcasts. She is quite popular on a certain fish. However, Chen Xing rarely goes to other live broadcast platforms, and he does not even do live broadcasts on Bizhan. How to see.
There was no shooting mission this time, I just took my best friends out to have fun.
Her name is Chen Mo, and her best friend is Yang Yingna.
Her best friend is like this. She has been prettier than her since she was a child and knows how to dress up. Recently, her micro-business business has been booming, and the two of them rarely find some free time to travel together.
Chen Mo recognized Chen Xing when he first saw him. Chen Xing's appearance was very recognizable. In the video, he only thought Chen Xing was handsome, but in reality, he found that what was more attractive than his appearance was the kind of speech he had. An unexplainable feeling.
Maybe this is the temperament.
In short, best friend Yang Yingna fell in love with Chen Xing at first sight.
"Then did he agree to have dinner together?"
Speaking of this, Yang Yingna nodded heavily and said, "I've already called to tell you that there is one more person in the desert dinner we have booked tonight. Oh, this is a candlelight dinner. It's so romantic, so shy!"
Chen Mo rolled her eyes, she was really speechless towards her best friend.
After knowing each other for so many years, who still doesn’t know each other? How can you pretend to be innocent in front of me?
What a difference!
It was almost seven o'clock when Chen Xing got the call. As soon as he came down from the hillside, he saw the beautiful woman dancing and waving. Chen Xing walked towards that direction, then suddenly stopped and looked at WeChat and remembered her name.
"Beauty."
"Just call me Nana. This is my good friend Momo. You can call her Mozi."
"Hi!!" Mozi also waved.
Chen Xing also greeted her and said, "Your clothes are so beautiful."
"Yeah, haha! I've been choosing it for a long time. This dress can block sand and is beautiful. Look, it can also block your face when you pull it up..."
"Really? No wonder your skin is still so good after blowing it all day."
"Huh? I noticed that it's the same with you. Are you a boy still studying skin care?"
Yang Yingna hung behind, narrowing her eyes slightly.
How did you guys start chatting?
She looked at the height difference between the two, as well as her and Momo's figures, and breathed a sigh of relief. I have a model figure of 1.7 meters, but the hair is on Chen Xing’s chest, and it’s a tablet. No one would like a tablet, right?
Maybe?
She thought a little frustrated, and the more she thought about it, the angrier she became, Mozi, you have a boyfriend!
So I walked up and prepared to quietly break the story.
But he quickly integrated into the chat.
Only then did she realize that Mozi didn't mean to have such a happy chat with Chen Xing, but that when he was close to this person, he would feel like a spring breeze. This feeling made them feel very comfortable, and naturally they would not resist chatting.
New month, updates as usual
