Recording instantaneous prose in life with a camera

I've been playing with my camera for more than forty years, but I'm not getting ahead.

Contact photography was taken in the summer of 1982. That year, I got married in Xi 'an and lived in my uncle's house. Qin Sheng has a small camera of model 135, which is a toy at best, but the photos are very clear. I bought developer and fixing powder myself, put them in two containers according to the proportion and temperature, turned off the light in the room, took the film out of the camera with the faint light of the red light and put it in the developing water for three minutes, so that I could see the negative clearly. Long time or high temperature will affect exposure. Therefore, it is necessary to take time to develop and fix, finally develop, clamp one end with a clip, and put it in a ventilated place to dry, and the negative will come out. When the negative is dry, you can develop the photos.

The photo developer is a self-made square wooden exposure box. There is an exposure light bulb in the box. There is a layer of frosted glass above the bulb, and the light becomes soft. At that time, there was no frosted glass, so a piece of white paper was covered on the glass, and there was a switch button outside. The operation is simple: put the negative close to the printing paper, put it on the transparent glass, press it with the box cover, start the light bulb switch, and decide the exposure time according to the thickness of the negative. The photographic paper exposed by the exposure box can be developed and fixed. At that time, there was no amplifier, so there was no amplification. However, the effect is very good.

After returning to Xinjiang, I mailed a camera. Coincidentally, soon after I returned to Xinjiang, I saw an advertisement for Changzhou camera in the newspaper, so I contacted and bought a "Hongmei" 120 camera, bought film and began to learn photography. I also read and wrote professional books such as Light and Shadow, Amateur Photography Creation Guide and Portrait Photography Magazine. For a while, I bought developing powder and fixing powder, made exposure boxes and photo molds, borrowed a magnifying glass, and often went out to take pictures.

Fool machine was very popular at that time, and I bought a second camera of 135. The renewal of the camera is basically five years. I bought a SLR camera in the 1990s. The electronic products arrived, and I bought a Sony camera and a Canon 750d camera for 20xx.

Photography is an art of running out of light and a technical activity. What is reflected between light and shadow is the photographer's thought light. Aperture, shutter and sensitivity are all familiar skills. To truly understand portraits, night scenes, scenery and silhouettes, we need certain theoretical basis and practical experience. In addition, it depends on the photographer's inspiration and understanding. A good blockbuster is the release of the photographer's understanding of his photography technology. Many photographers are equipped with hundreds of thousands, and ordinary photographers are around 100 thousand. For example, I can only play with cameras, not to mention photography. I took photos for many years, just to promote the unit, and I really didn't get much, because there were still many things I didn't know at that time. When digital numbers swarmed in, mobile phone photos spread all over the world, and photographers were everywhere, I felt that photography was beyond people's imagination. The function of portability, convenience and rapid communication makes people sigh, and the scenes of mobile phone photography can be seen everywhere, which once again subverts people's understanding of the mystery of photography. It seems that photography has become concise. In fact, as photography, it is an art and cannot be compared with mobile phone photography.

Keep the years, keep the moments. A camera is an indispensable travel accessory in your journey. It records the process of growth and every moment of travel. When we are old, when we open the photos of that year, how many happy memories come to mind, and how many family ties are comforted in the memories, because we have recorded the best moments.

I went to Beijing in 20xx, using a 135 camera, and went to Tiananmen Square, Summer Palace, Yuanmingyuan and other places. The photos in the store were developed that day, and a roll was more than 30 yuan. I bought a Sony camera when I went to Beijing for the second time. Unfortunately, the ds card was broken when I took photos in white pagoda park, so I had to format it. In this way, I lost all the photos I took in Tiananmen Square a few days ago. I taught a lesson. I carve one every two days. It's not expensive. I carved it with five yuan. Later, at work, whenever possible, I carved it into a disk and kept it properly. Who knows that even if it is carved into a disk, it will go wrong after a long time. Bought a mobile hard drive and copied all the photos. Unexpectedly, the disaster struck and the mobile hard disk could not be opened. I found it after sale and replaced it with a new one. I went to Beijing for the second time, and the photos of my first trip to Shenzhen and Xiamen have never been found.

Since I learned ps, I have learned to listen to music and movies, and it is basically insurance to make photos of each trip into albums or videos and save them in Youku.

Finishing the photo album is also a technical activity, that is, how to express the theme of the photo album, how to select photos, conceive the theme, sort and combine the photos, which photos need post-processing, what kind of opening and closing credits to make, what kind of audio to use, and do it after thinking about it. Commonly used software can be applied, that is, it is done according to a pattern, which is fast and beautiful, and it is also good as entertainment. Radish and cabbage have their own love, as long as they can express a mind, nothing should be overdone.

Life is not easy. If you want to remember clearly, you have to remember it often. The happiness of memory will make us happy. Examining life in memory is an inspirational process with no regrets. Every step measures the ups and downs we have experienced, including success and disappointment. But it's all gone, a cloud of smoke and a memory. Now we stride from the beginning, from the beginning, Cangshan is like the sea, and the sunset is like blood.
