Chapter 69: The camera is a little complicated...
Chapter 69
"Sister, this box is so delicious!" After praising it, Lin Muli took a big bite, as if to prove that what he said was true.
Lin Mujin added, "Leek box. Can you bite a wooden box?"
Lin Muli laughed heartily, "I can't bite a wooden box. The money box my brother made won't break even if it's dropped. Even if my teeth were broken, I wouldn't be able to bite it."
Lin Mujin rolled her eyes at him and said, "Hurry up and eat yours."
I had lunch a little late today because I was making soup, and this kid kept talking nonsense.
"Sister, did you go shopping this morning?" Lin Muli started talking again without even a minute's silence.
Lin Mujin hummed, "I bought the denim jacket you asked for."
Immediately warned, "Watch it after dinner, the clothes don't have long legs."
Lin Muli was reluctant to give up the delicious chive dumplings, so he ate two more before putting down his chopsticks.
"Sister, why did you buy so many thin sweaters? Who will wear them?"
Lin Muli took out each item one by one and gestured in front of himself.
Lin Mujin said, "My brother and sister have to go to the morning market at 4 o'clock. The temperature is so low. And my uncle had surgery and was injured. They all need to wear clothes. I was also thinking about going to the beach one day. It's very cold and windy at the beach. I don't know if I can withstand wearing a thin sweater. As for you, you can wear it if you want."
Lin Muli hurriedly said, "Put on, put on, put on! Sister, I have a day off the day after tomorrow, let's go fishing together."
Lin Mujin didn't object. Someone helped carry the bucket, but she asked, "Aren't you going to the pharmacy?"
Lin Muli scratched his head with a confused expression.
Lin Mujin raised her eyebrows. "Why, are you tired of studying?"
Lin Muli waved his hands, "No, no, I just want to go out and have some fun."
Then he sighed and said, "Forget it, let's go on Christmas."
Lin Mujin didn't say anything else.
She went to the beach not just to pick up a lot of seafood, but also to get some oysters.
The oyster sauce at home can only be used for four or five days at most, so you need to make fresh one.
But I haven't come across anyone selling oysters recently.
So she planned to pry some out herself, and if she couldn't, she wanted to hire someone nearby to do it. In short, the oyster sauce must not be out of stock.
This is the family's secret weapon.
Besides, I’m used to adding oyster sauce when stir-frying vegetables.
Lin Muli tried on both the thin sweater and the denim jacket, and they both fit perfectly. "Sister, you have great taste!"
Lin Mujin raised the corner of her mouth. She had to admit that her little brother was good at sweet-talking. He would have no trouble finding a wife in the future. "Okay, keep it to yourself."
These two items are not close-fitting clothing, so there is no need to rinse them with water.
Denim jackets are easy to deal with, but sweaters will shrink and deform if not washed properly, and their warmth retention will also decrease.
Lin Mujin also put her and her cousin's sweaters and windbreakers into the bedroom closet.
"Sister, what is this? Ah! A camera! Sister, you bought a camera!"
Lin Mujin rolled her eyes. Her observation skills still needed to be improved. She had just left it there openly, so how come she only just saw it?
I could still hear him muttering, "It's real, right? It's not a toy."
Lin Mujin hurried out, fearing that he would damage it. "Give it to me. It's over 2,000 yuan. Don't mess with it."
Lin Muli put on his denim jacket again and struck a pose, "Sister, take a picture of me quickly."
Lin Mujin wanted to slap him, "You're everywhere!"
Lin Muli hurriedly urged, "Sister, hurry up, I can't hold on any longer."
Lin Mujin could only say unhappily, "We haven't played the film yet. There's no point in getting anxious."
Besides, she had to fiddle with it.
The boss taught her how to use it when she bought it, but she had never used it before, so it always takes some time to get used to it for the first time.
If only I had a point-and-shoot camera.
"Go wash your face and comb your hair." Lin Mujin sent him away to avoid being bothered.
She went back into the house and pulled out a piece of paper from her bag with the key points she had written down on it.
A good memory is worse than a bad pen.
Start loading the film according to the notes.
"Make sure the film is free of creases and tears... well, no. Next is to open the bottom cover."
Lin Mujin carefully rotated the crescent-shaped lock on the bottom of the camera counterclockwise 180 degrees. "Oh, it's open! Now comes the important installation."
Place the film cassette into the left film compartment with the film leader facing right.
Carefully pull out the film leader about ten centimeters and insert it into the gap on the right side of the film take-up shaft.
"The boss emphasized this point. You have to manually turn the film advance lever. If the film moves, it proves that the film was installed successfully. If it doesn't move, then... try again. Bless me, I can pass it in one try... Haha! It moved! It moved!"
Lin Mujin was about to praise herself when Lin Muli came back and asked, "What moved?"
Lin Mujin just wanted to roll her eyes and said, "Get out of the way."
Close the bottom cover.
This is not the end yet. Turn the film advance lever twice in a row and press the shutter release button at the same time until the counter points to "1".
Lin Mujin wiped her forehead exaggeratedly, "It's so fucking complicated."
Lin Muli saw that the film was finished and asked, "Sister, can we start shooting now?"
Lin Mujin wanted to curse, "Fuck you!" and said, "Wait!"
Set the parameters, adjust the shutter to one hundredth of a second, as well as the aperture and focus...
She adjusted it according to the usual data given by her boss.
The best thing to do when you don't have photography skills is to follow the crowd.
Next is metering, on a sunny day the setting is f/16.
The boss said this is the 16 rules of sunshine, and it is guaranteed to be reliable.
Listen, the rules are all out, and you can’t go wrong by following them.
"Okay, strike a pose!"
Lin Mujin picked up the camera and held it in front of her eyes.
Lin Muli couldn't wait, "Sister, wait a minute! This background is not good, the dishes haven't been taken away yet, I'll change the place."
He ran to the sofa again and said, "Sister, can I sit here?"
Lin Mujin was speechless, "I'm taking a picture of your profile."
Let’s play!
Lin Muli stood by the windowsill and said, "This place should be fine."
Lin Mujin half-knelt down to adjust the angle.
She is not completely ignorant about photography. She knows how to compose, beautify the pictures, and how to create a sense of atmosphere and make the legs look longer.
But that was with a mobile phone, now it’s a professional camera.
As for the final effect, she didn't know. "One, two, three, smile, don't blink! Okay."
Immediately manually move the film advance lever to the end point to complete the shutter winding so that you can press the shutter smoothly next time.
This kind of camera setting basically means saying goodbye to continuous shooting.
"Would you like another one?" Lin Mujin asked.
Lin Muli asked back, "Can I still take a photo?"
Lin Mujin rolled her eyes and said, "When have I ever done that?"
She didn't want to be photographed before because the camera was difficult to use, not because she was afraid of wasting film.
Lin Muli immediately changed his tone, "Sister is the most generous, my most kind, beautiful, and generous sister. I want to take another picture. Wait, I'll go get my hat."
Lin Mujin thought to herself, this is something I learned naturally, who said boys don’t want to have their pictures taken.
Boys are also vain.
