Photographic story prose

It is unrealistic to say that everyone in China can take pictures now, because some old people and children can't use mobile phones. It should be said that people with mobile phones in China can basically take pictures. How many people hold mobile phones? An authoritative data shows that from 2065438 to February 28th, 2008, the number of users in cmnet reached 753 million. Is there a mobile phone that can surf the Internet? I didn't do any research. But there must be some people who don't use mobile phones to surf the Internet, and I am one. Therefore, it is conservatively estimated that people with mobile phones should have a population of 654.38+0 billion. That is to say, there are 1 100 million people who can take photos in China, which means that there are 1 100 million people in China who take photos more than10.40 billion people.

The first photo of a Chinese was taken by Jules Egyptian, a Frenchman, to an old man in the Qing Dynasty in 1844. In other words, the 1837 camera was the first photo taken by China after it came out in France. This shows that there were no cameras in China at that time, let alone people who could take pictures. Why did Senior Citizen become the first person to take photos in China? Because Yule came to China as the Attorney General of French Customs, the Qing government received him. When Yule proposed to take pictures of court officials, no one dared to take them, because no one in the palace had seen the camera at that time. "Senior Citizen" has a close relationship with foreigners and is well informed. Will naturally play an exemplary role, thus becoming the first person to take photos in China.

When the camera was introduced into China, there are different opinions. According to Zhou Shouchang's "Siyitang Daily necessities" in Qing Dynasty, Daoguang lived in Guangzhou in the afternoon and saw the description of the camera. Therefore, it is inferred that the year of Daoguang Bingwu is AD 1846, which is the fourth year when treaty of nanking was signed between China and Britain. At that time, more and more people traveled to China. The camera that Zhou Shouchang saw was brought in by westerners who entered Guangzhou. This camera has been introduced to China at the latest 1846. After photography technology was introduced into China, it was regarded as "the smart thing in the west" by the conformists. People thought that photography could take away people's souls and hurt people's lives. Therefore, it was not until 1903 that Yu Xun's mausoleum in the Qing Palace began to take pictures of Cixi, and of course, the emperor, the empress dowager and other royalty. This was 100 years ago. It should be the earliest mobile phone played by relatives in the Qing Dynasty, but the people have never seen it or heard of it. In the folk, when I was a child, I often heard people say that taking pictures is sucking (swallowing) human blood, so I dare not take pictures.

The first photo I came into contact with was that of my grandfather. When I was eight years old, my grandmother took me to my mother's house. I found a photo hanging next to my uncle's idol. I was curious and stared at it. My uncle said, "He is your cousin. He gave me a piece of wood in the Northeast Forest Farm. Do you want to see it? " So Uncle Biao got up and took the photo of Uncle Biao, put it in my hand, and went to talk to grandma again. In a short time, my cousin went to cook, leaving grandma and uncle and their brother and sister to chat. I also focused on the photos in my hand, and found them a little dirty, so I rubbed them with my little hands to get rid of the stains. I couldn't wipe it off, so I dipped a little saliva and continued to wipe it. I finally picked up the black stain, but there was white underneath. The more you rub it, the bigger the area, and you dare not rub it again. The place to rub again is not in the face, but in the lower left chest.

After dinner, my cousin came to the hall and saw me rubbing the photo. She comforted her and said, "Never mind, put down my cousin's photo. It's time for us to eat." I was embarrassed to give the photo to my aunt and bowed my head. Until a few days later, my uncle came to see my grandmother and said that my uncle was injured when he cut down a tree. Grandma said with concern, "Where did it hurt? Is it heavy? " My uncle and grandfather said, "It is said that it hurts the lower part of the left chest, which may not be light. Otherwise, how can you say that you can go to work after a few months of rest? " Grandma said, "When did this happen?" My uncle and grandfather said, "It was the morning of the eighth day of this month. When I was about to get off work, when the last tree was cut down, I didn't have time to avoid it and was hit by a branch. " Grandma said in surprise, "Isn't this the day I went to your house on the eighth day of this month?" My uncle and grandfather said, "It seems to be that day." But I have been playing drums after listening to it: "Is it because I let go of the blood in the lower part of my cousin's left chest?" It was not until several years later that I realized that this was a coincidence. My cousin's uncle's injury has nothing to do with my ruining his photo.

The first photo I took was an inch when I graduated from high school. It is said that the diploma should be posted with photos and stamped with a big stamp. At that time, I was studying at my grandfather's house. Our school is more than 30 miles away from the county seat, and it was taken by someone from the city photo studio invited by the teacher. Remember to pay fifty cents for three copies. When I came back to my grandfather's house after school, I said to him, "The people who took pictures in the city this afternoon are still there. The teacher said that parents can take pictures at school if they want. If no one takes pictures, the people in the photo studio will go back to the city. " I don't know if it's because grandma just died for three months or other reasons. The master said, "It costs money to take a photo, so you don't take it!" I didn't persuade grandpa to take pictures again, but it turned out to be a lifelong regret. I left my grandfather alone after I entered junior high school. Unexpectedly, he died suddenly a few months later. If only I could leave a photo, I often think so. One of my three photos at that time was posted on my diploma, and the other two were exchanged with my best classmates Li Zi 'an and Huang Ruxi as souvenirs. The only thing I have left now is the one I took off my diploma.

When I was tidying up my study, I found some manuscripts from the early 1970s. One of them is called Thinking through an Album. The article wrote: "On holidays, people always look through their photo albums or albums, probably because they miss their parents more!" Nowadays, taking photos has become a very common thing. This kind of photography is not only a symbol of happiness, but also a symbol of happiness. It is a symbol of happiness, because photography also needs' economy'. You see, how common it is to take pictures: every holiday, people always send a photo to their relatives and comrades; Old people always take a picture of their children and grandchildren; Young parents always take the first photo of their baby who is just full moon, and then they will take photos of their baby who is one year old ... taking photos is so common, but it costs money. Will people who can't even eat go to a photo studio to take pictures? Will the photographers in the studio line up? Some people also bought their own cameras. This was impossible before liberation. Cameras have been introduced to China for more than 65,438+000 years, but it was after the founding of People's Republic of China (PRC) that people in China really enjoyed taking pictures. With the gradual improvement of people's living standards, taking photos has become a part of people's happy life. Isn't it a happy thing? "

Seeing this, I can't help laughing. Compared with today, it's really nothing. Now think about it, there were actually very few people who could take pictures as described in the article. Only a camera like me can really take pictures like this in the article. Still can't compare with today. One is that black and white photos are not mentioned, and the other is that imaging is troublesome. If you make your own film, if you don't have developing equipment, send it to the photo studio for development, and you won't see the photos. If you have your own printing equipment, you can of course develop it yourself. It's cheaper to develop and print by yourself. But it's more troublesome. First of all, there must be a darkroom, because the whole process must be operated in a darkroom: unlike the current mobile phone photography, you can see color images immediately. If you want to send them to your friends, click on the circle of friends, and you can see your photos immediately no matter where your friends are in the world. At that time, film had to be developed in a darkroom and dried before printing. When printing, put the negative into a magnifying glass or a black box as needed, and put the printing paper under it. Printing paper is generally divided into 1, 2, 3, 4 because of different sensitivities, and then the exposure time should be selected according to the thickness of the negative and the type of printing paper. The exposure time is calculated in seconds. After exposure, put the photographic paper into the prepared display liquid immediately. After the image is displayed, it is fixed in fixing solution. After fixing, it can be dried. You can also walk in the polishing solution, put it in the dryer to dry, and then cut the photos with a knife. Unlike now, only if you want to turn it into a paper photo can you send it to a photo studio for processing.

Speaking of old photos, there is an interesting story, which I call "A few flashes to meet a million soldiers". It happened in the unusual summer of 1967. Xu Zhendong, who graduated from Shanghai University, likes photography. He not only has his own camera, but also has a set of equipment for developing photos. One night, he developed photos in the cellar by the road. When he exposed the photographic paper, a flickering light came out of the glass window of the cellar, which was discovered by a member of a mass organization and immediately reported to the head. When the sheriff came to see it, Xu Zhendong's window on the ground crackled from time to time. In the dark, my head frowned and looked at the direction of the window. Isn't this the direction that organizations must strictly defend? Considering that Xu Zhendong is not from his own organization, this "flash" must be the contact signal of the other organization. Thought of here, the leader scared out in a cold sweat, similar to tens of thousands of troops in Enemy at the Gates. So he sent someone to monitor Xu Zhendong's pit; While mobilizing the people of this organization, fuck the guys and enter the pre-protected positions to prepare for the battle; While reporting the situation to the superior organization, he asked for support. The superior organization called back and said that it had not found the information of the other organization's actions, and asked him to continue monitoring. Minute by minute, I didn't see anyone suspicious. The players who are ready to fight are impatient. Knowing that it must be another false alarm, they want to go home and sleep. And the leader thought: "What didn't find the information? The information is clearly here! I should make meritorious deeds, and I must persist until dawn! " Just thought of here, a team member suddenly reported: "The flash of the pit is not flashing!" ""don't flash, is in contact. Hurry up, your opponent will rush up soon! "As soon as the first sentence was finished, the door of Diwozi creaked open." How about a touch? The snake is finally out of the hole, and you will soon understand! "The boss said, and goes to the ground snap. Seeing standing on the side of the road to pee, he asked, "Is technician Xu still awake?" Xu Zhendong was startled. Seeing that it was the rebel leader, he put on his trousers and smiled: "I'm developing photos. I just finished washing them. I'm going to pee and get ready for bed." Commander Ma is still awake? " The boss snorted and said, "develop photos?" "Who are you kidding? I don't know how to develop photos. Since it is' washing', it must be washed with water. Why does it shine? " Xu Zhendong explained: "Exposing photographic paper is an exposure, and of course the light will flash." "Who are you kidding!" The leader said, and several players got into the pit. Seeing many newly developed photos under the lamp, I turned my head off the ground in shame.

Why this kind of joke appears shows that people don't understand photography technology. To tell the truth, there were very few photo studios at that time, except one in the county and big town, because private ownership was not allowed at that time. After the 1980s, with the reform and opening up, the number of photo studios increased. Before 1980s, color photography was solved by color technology. Since then, color film has become popular and coloring technology has been eliminated. Unexpectedly, 20 years later, digital cameras replaced traditional cameras and films. What followed was that the whole people took photos with their mobile phones. Really realized when you want to shoot, when you want to shoot.

Photography is a small matter in people's lives. Without photography, people live as usual. However, photography has changed people's lives and brought people unlimited fun and happiness. Furthermore, photography technology is also an indispensable and important means of scientific research. For example, applications in the medical field, such as research and exploration of the universe, and so on. Without modern photography technology, can we see the true face of the earth, the moon, the solar system, Mars, Saturn, Jupiter and other celestial bodies? It is these photos taken by modern photography technology that show the real face of the vast celestial bodies to the world. From here on, taking pictures is no small matter. But the story of photography will get more and more exciting!

Photography can flourish today, which is the result of both scientific development and social progress. Both are indispensable.
