Middle age: leisurely life in the entertainment industry

Today is September 30th, and tomorrow is the National Day holiday. Yu Dongqing drove straight to Houhai in the afternoon. Yesterday, he received a call from his mother-in-law, asking him to come over for dinner tonight.

The car stopped at the entrance of Yanzi Hutong, and Yu Dongqing entered Hutong No. 18.

"Dad." My daughter Yu Tongtong came back from school and was playing with the puppy in the yard. When she saw Yu Dongqing coming in, she immediately jumped up to her with a smile. Yu Dongqing hurriedly picked up her daughter.

I haven’t seen you in over a week, I miss you so much.

"Dad, the National Day is coming soon, you have to take me out to play!" The daughter snuggled into Yu Dongqing's arms and made the request immediately.

"Okay, daddy will always be with you. Dad will take you wherever you want to go!"

"And my aunt, and my grandpa and grandma!"

ah?

At this time, Mingliang also came out of her boudoir and greeted her with a smile. When she heard Yu Tongtong's words, she explained the whole story.

It turned out that there was a seven-day holiday during the National Day, and there was no point staying at home. So Mingliang suggested that the family go to a beautiful place around Yanjing to spend two or three days.

Of course Yu Tongtong was happy. Later, Mingliang persuaded her parents, and finally they agreed.

"Okay, have you agreed on where to go?" Yu Dongqing asked as he walked.

"We haven't discussed it yet. We won't wait for you to come and discuss it together."

The three of them entered the living room. Yu Dongqing saw her mother-in-law Liu Huiyan busy with something, so she greeted her, but found that her father-in-law Ming Hanwen was not there.

"Where is my dad? In the study room?" Yu Dongqing asked.

"No, I went to Shahe Reservoir to take pictures!"

"Going so far to take pictures?" Yu Dongqing was surprised.

"Yes, your dad has recently become obsessed with photography." Liu Huiyan explained.

Ah?

However, Shahe Reservoir is indeed a great place for photography enthusiasts. It is located in Changping. It is a river basin-shaped reservoir. Although it is not big, there are no complicated buildings around it, and the water surface is relatively wide, so it is a good place to shoot sunset.

Especially in autumn and winter, the waste hot water discharged from the General Logistics Base will cause water vapor to rise on the lake surface. Together with the reeds in the water, it feels like a dreamy wonderland. The scenery in spring is not inferior, and watching the sunrise in the early morning with light fog is also very beautiful.

Yu Dongqing also went there to take photos.

Just as he was talking, he heard the gate of the yard open, and saw his father-in-law Ming Hanwen rushing in excitedly carrying a tripod, carrying a camera bag, and wearing an khaki fisherman's hat on his head, looking like a professional. .

Yu Dongqing hurried over to help take the tripod and camera bag. Liu Huiyan also came out and said that since she was back, she quickly changed her clothes and washed her hands before getting ready to eat.

Ming Hanwen waved his hand: "Don't worry, Dongqing, Meimei, what do you think of the photos I took today?"

"Okay. Dad, let me help you put it on the computer to read." After saying this, Meili took the camera and walked to the study.

"Slow down, be careful, that camera is quite expensive, be sure not to break it!" Ming Hanwen quickly reminded.

Yu Dongqing took a look.

Ah.

Canon digital SLR, model EOS-1D

Yu Dongqing remembered that he had bought one in the original time and space, but later bought a more advanced one.

Meili turned on her computer and imported the photos from her camera into her computer, admiring them one by one.

Yu Dongqing looked carefully and took a photo of the reeds in Shahe Reservoir. As a beginner, the overall effect was pretty good.

Although the photos did not completely capture the feeling of a dreamy wonderland, they looked poetic to a certain extent, but some of the photos were slightly blurry.

This is a common mistake made by beginners in photography, mainly because the shutter speed is not fast enough.

The longer the shutter is open, the more movement is captured, so with a slow shutter speed, even the slightest movement by the photographer can result in a blurry photo.

"Holly, Mei Mei, tell me how my photo was?" Ming Hanwen looked very interested.

Yu Dongqing looked surprised: "Dad, I didn't expect you to take such good photos! You don't look like a beginner. When others look at this photo, they think you have been doing photography for several years."

"Haha, really?" Ming Hanwen's face suddenly lit up after hearing this.

Flattery!

Meili pouted.

She is majoring in directing and has also studied photography. It is obvious that her father's technique is not skilled enough, and the blurred shots are caused by the insufficient shutter speed.

Also in this scene selection, the reeds are too close to the bottom and top of the picture, which makes the picture look very abrupt and has a "top of the sky" feeling.

It's obvious that he is a beginner at first glance.

Meili remembers that Yu Dongqing once took a photo of her with a mobile phone. It was much better than this, and the photo looked like a professional camera!

But, the most important thing is that Dad is happy!

So I also imitated Yu Dongqing and praised him a few times.

Ming Hanwen smiled, but he was quite modest, saying that he had only recently started to learn slowly, and there were many shortcomings. If you have any opinions, feel free to mention them. You're welcome!

"It's time to eat. If you don't come out, the food will get cold!" Liu Huiyan shouted in the yard to urge her.

"Here we go."

The three of them turned off their computers and left the study.

The nanny had already prepared the meals and put them on the table in the living room. The family ate with the nanny and chatted while eating, naturally discussing where to go during the National Day.

"Mom and Dad, I want to go to Kulon Nur Tourist Resort in Zhangjiakou. There you can take a boat ride in the Swan Lake, and you can also ride horses and shoot archery in the grassland playground!" Meiliang immediately put forward her own opinion.

"My classmates have been there and said it was very fun."

When Yu Tongtong heard this, her eyes immediately lit up: "Okay, okay, auntie, I want to ride a horse!"

"No, no." Mother-in-law Liu Huiyan immediately objected: "It's too far to go to Zhangjiakou, and riding horses on the grassland is too dangerous. Also, it's almost autumn, and I heard it's quite cold there at night. It's better to go to Xiangshan or Gu Take a look around Beishui Town."

"Going there again? I've been there several times and it's not interesting at all." Mingliang was unhappy and persuaded her mother: "Mom, we have a car and we have a seven-day holiday. Why are we afraid of being far away? I can live in a yurt and bake in the evening. A bonfire?”

After saying that, he looked at Yu Dongqing sitting opposite: "Brother-in-law, what do you think?"

"I have no objection." Yu Dongqing said with a smile: "You can go anywhere, I will be responsible for driving."

"Dad, what do you think?" Meimei had no choice but to ask her father again.

Ming Hanwen pondered for a moment and surprised everyone when he opened his mouth. "Since Mei Mei and Tong Tong both want to go to Kulonnur, let's go. It's good to spend time with the children."

He didn't like to travel far in the past. He always liked to stay at home, reading, practicing calligraphy, walking around the back coast, and sometimes picking up his granddaughter.

But what he said immediately revealed his purpose.

"I heard it's very beautiful to take pictures of the sunrise on the grassland."
