Hui elderly mobile phone photography

Usually walking in a small village, you can always see old people sitting together. They seem to live a happy life and live a good life every day.

Once upon a time, I always felt that getting old was a terrible thing.

Old age, the skin is no longer smooth, the whole body wrinkles, slow response, poor physique, and so on. Maybe I will get some diseases. Maybe the children I have raised for most of my life are not around, and my wife and I support each other.

When I am old, I can't walk. Maybe I can only stay in that comfortable little place all the time, holding a small bench, looking at the sky at night, thinking about many things that I once said I wanted to do with great ambitions, and forgetting all these things. No time, no physical strength ....

At that time, I felt that everything seemed to pile up into my twenties, such as career achievements, marriage, travel, surfing and so on. It seems that if I don't do these things when I was young, I won't have much chance in the future. ...

However, some recent events have changed my mind. It's not just nursing homes and square dances that wait for the elderly. What kind of life you want depends on what choice you make.

Last week, I had a night filming class, and about 50 people were present. Surprisingly, there are very few young people, and middle-aged and middle-aged people account for the majority.

The lecturer of the course is an experienced photographer, about 60 years old. In the first theoretical class, the teacher shared some of his shooting skills and experiences with us. Teachers have been to many places, such as Dubai, Taipei, the United States, northwest China, Xinjiang, Finland and so on. His purpose is pure, that is, to take pictures.

In order to shoot the mysterious starry sky in Xinjiang, the SLR needs to be kept at MINUS 10 degrees. Because it was too cold, the teacher went back to the tent to stay, but the teacher who went back to the tent to sleep was worried about the SLR. So, every hour or two, he has to get up and investigate.

When I went to Taipei, I couldn't take pictures aboveboard because of the political sensitivity at that time. In order to shoot the 10 1 building I've always wanted to shoot, the night before I left, my teacher and several friends took a taxi to Xiangshan in the middle of the night to shoot the night scene.

In the northwest of the United States, in order to get the desired picture, I returned to the city sadly until the battery was dead, but I finally got unexpected results.

Two hours' course, time flies. The teacher is humorous and often laughs at the photographers present. Listening to the teacher's story about the shooting process of that year, I feel that I have experienced it and want to be interesting.

At that time, the teachers were nothing like the middle-aged and elderly people, young people in their twenties, and full of passion.

It seems that there are many old people present. They all took their own cameras and listened to the teacher carefully. They pick up the camera from time to time, capture some knowledge points and record them in the SLR. Their earnest and focused eyes are the same as when I took the college entrance examination five years ago.

At that time, I found that there seemed to be many middle-aged and elderly people who loved photography. Some people have taken photography as their hobby since childhood, and some people have developed this hobby only later. In either case, they are even more active than young people in this matter.

In the later practical class, everyone came to a lake with their own tools, such as SLR cameras, tripods and cables. From 5 o'clock to 8 o'clock, we witnessed the setting of the sun, the lighting of the first lamp, and the harassment of mosquitoes around us. Everyone took photos of their night scenes seriously, patiently waiting for the camera exposure, and asked the teacher immediately if there were any small questions. People you don't know can also communicate happily on some problems of photography.

Here, regardless of gender and age, everyone is a classmate in the photography class, and it feels good.

A few years ago, I went to the ancient town of Huangyao. The night view there is particularly beautiful. Before dusk, you can see many tripods standing in some classic positions. Many tripods are owned by middle-aged and elderly people. They are shooting sunsets and night scenes together in groups. They ran around with heavy cameras and huge tripods just to capture the beauty of that moment. At that time, I knew nothing about night shooting. I don't have a tripod, and the photos I took are a little blurred. Fortunately, I bravely went forward and asked an old man, who helped me adjust the parameters of my camera and added that I must bring a tripod when I go out to shoot the night scene next time. ...

That night, I not only gained beautiful scenery, but also gained some new knowledge. I don't know why, just like this, I played photography with some grandmothers and grandfathers and thought it was a wonderful thing.

Although these grandmothers and grandfathers who play photography are old people physically, they are still a group of young people who love life and like to run around. ..

Nowadays, many young people are clamoring for boredom, chaotic life, upside down day and night, and addicted to mobile phones, games, TV dramas and so on. And their mental state is not good. They squander their bodies and youth like walking dead every day. What's the reason you ask them? "They will all answer, my ideal is not to go to work." You ask them what they want most, and the answer is simple: "money." Such an answer is simply rotten to the ear.

Some young people live worse than the elderly; Some people are old, but they don't seem to be old.

These things changed my original idea. Not only nursing homes and square dances are waiting to get old, not everything has to be done in the twenties.

I used to think getting old was a terrible thing, but it wasn't.

Although my body is aging, I am who I am. As long as I exist in this world, I can do what I like. Travel, photography, running, painting and so on. ...

Just like the famous grandma Moxi, she started painting in her 70s, and held an exhibition in new york at the age of 80, which was a sensation.

For example, my grandmother once read an English article in English Weekly. She is seventy or eighty years old and is trying to do what she always thought she wanted to do-skydiving. ..

Old people can also live a free and easy life, and old people can also live an elegant and decent life. As long as I don't leave this earth, we still have many opportunities to do many things. Don't limit the possibility of your life because of your age. ...

Although we will walk slowly when we are old, we may be a little deaf and our eyesight may not be very good. None of this can be a reason for us to waste our lives. There is no reason or excuse to do what you like.

When I am old, I will wear the most eye-catching skirt suit, hat and sexy lipstick, March in the city like a work of art, and be an old man with a drag bottle; I also want to travel around the world, leaving all the beautiful scenery in my camera and in my heart. ..

Being old is not terrible, but being old without a hobby is terrible.

I like what Grandma Moses said: Some people always say: It's too late. Actually, now is the best time. For a person who really pursues something, every period of life is young and timely.
