God's Palette

"What about the filter?"

"Filter?"

Xia Xun rubbed his ears. If a phone call lasts too long, it will always make the ears and head uncomfortable, especially if it involves a lot of bargaining.

Just like having sex with two people stripped naked would be very boring, it would be better to use various costumes and props, the photographer and the lens work together, in fact, various props are needed--the props are various filters.

They can bring changes to photos to a great extent, and they are an absolutely indispensable part of photography creation.The word filter has even been used in the era of smartphones. Young people only know that various filters can make photos weird, but they don't know the origin of the word.

All in all, buying various filters is also a photography expense that cannot be underestimated...

Now that the old monster mentions the filter, he probably wants to cheat again?Xia Xun guessed so.

"Do you want a filter?" said the old shop owner's wife.

"I remember that the filter of this lens is a plug-in type... It's expensive, please don't trick me."

"What are you talking about? When did I cheat you? This lens has some filters that are original accessories from Zeiss. I can't sell them alone. If you want them, I will give them to you together."

"...Give it?" Xia Xun suspected that he had heard it wrong, and asked hesitantly, "Give means... no money?"

"Don't forget it."

"I want what I want!"

……

On the way out of the old equipment warehouse, Xia Xun felt a lot more at ease. Although he always suffers from the old monster, but every time there is a reward corresponding to the effort, it is actually quite interesting.

It is difficult to estimate the value of these filters, but at least it is extremely difficult to get them. It saves such a lot of trouble. The money is not in vain. She is happy and looks forward to the day when the grandmother brings the lens back.

Mian Yu followed behind, helping Xia Xun to wrap up - it was on Xianyu's chat window.

"Actually, you are very honest in your business. If you say it outright, the deal will probably be done from the very beginning, right? But why do you still do business in this way? I mean...it feels a bit like teasing a child. "

"It's just to add some fun to the rest of my life. I met an interesting little girl and I just want to talk a little more. And I have always been honest, otherwise this store wouldn't be open until today, you won't suffer, and the transaction will be equal. ,That's it."

"Well... Speaking of this store, I'm curious. Do you mind if I ask, why do you have such a large warehouse of old equipment?"

Mian Yu has been curious about this question for a long time, because the old lady's business method is very strange. It seems that she just sells lenses at will, but she is very concerned about them and takes care of them daily. This is a bit contradictory in itself.If it is a memorable thing, a collection that you don't want to sell off, then even if it is just a matter of chance, you shouldn't sell them...

The old shopkeeper's wife didn't think it was some kind of ulterior secret, and there was no secret she didn't want to talk about.

"love."

She answered.

"A long time ago, I fell in love with a man who was a photographer. For this, I bought every style of photographic equipment in the world...lenses, cameras, lights, everything, just to use This gift woos him."

"You, you old..."

Mian Yu didn't know what to say, praised her for being romantic?Surprised by her financial resources back then?No no no, compared to these, there are more things that should be asked——

"Have you succeeded?" Perhaps, this will become a success story worth learning from.

"Haha, if it works, why are those old antiques piled up in my warehouse to collect dust?"

"...I'm sorry to poke your heart."

"It's okay, it's just a boring past. In short, since then, I have developed a habit. Once all new photographic equipment is on the market, there will be an order for me. This is like collecting cards and making achievements in games. I can't stop."

"You... are so cool."

While Mianyu was inquiring more about the past of the old shopkeeper's wife, Xia Xun was at the front, communicating with the young shop assistant, asking her to give him Sony's 55 1.8 ZA - but it was not an easy process, because the latter did not Too happy.

As a salesperson, there is a commission for selling things, which is their source of income.

The young clerk originally thought that this was a valuable deal with a generous commission, but who knew that the two customers directly contacted the boss and even made a deal with the boss directly.According to the rules, there is no commission here - this makes her feel that she has been busy for a long time.

Therefore, no matter how good-looking Xia Xun was, she still felt unhappy and had a bad attitude since she didn't belong to her anyway.

"By the way, little clerk, I still have a job for you." Xia Xun's face was bright.

"What job? Be respectful."

"It's about printing an estimated [-] photos."

"Oh, okay." She pouted and looked at Xia Xun sideways, thinking about what photo she wanted to take.

This customer is really strange, young and handsome, but not like those young people who are easy to deceive and have no brains, but has a strange and deep breath, and looks very familiar with the old shopkeeper's wife... But Photos can't fool anyone, maybe it's just a few sugar water tablets?

When the time comes, just make some sarcasm. After spending so much money on equipment, it’s not a bad shoot.

She has seen this kind of person a lot.

So, taking the USB flash drive, she opened the image——

"Hmph, a portrait?" the young clerk blurted out.

"Well, most of them are portraits." Xia Xun folded his hands at the side, with a leisurely look, silently listening to the discussion of the two men at the Nikon counter next door.It seems that they want to go out to take pictures together, in order to save money, they plan to share a tent.

But just when I heard the interesting part - an unrepressed exclamation pierced my ear: "...Wait, fuck, this portrait? Isn't it the one from the XD conference...Rayle?"

"Oh? You also watch the BB station?"

"How...how did you get the original film? Could it be..." She was full of astonishment.

"Of course it was filmed."
