Chapter 248 Second-hand cameras cannot be bought

When I arrived at Uncle Meow's house, Uncle Meow was cooking at home.

Yes, it’s not the method, but the cooking.

Luo Feng was anxious, so he took out Er Miao's action camera and handed it to me, asking me to quickly let Uncle Miao take a look.

Uncle Meow turned off the gas stove, wiped his hands with his apron, and then picked up the camera.

After looking at it for a while, Uncle Meow shook his head and said, "Is this a digital product? I don't understand?"

Luo Feng and I looked at each other?

I scratched my head and asked, "Uncle Meow, it was Taoist Master Qian who said there was something wrong with this second-hand camera. He said you were a professional and could you see the problem?"

Uncle Meow frowned, looked down again, shook his head and said, "Yes, I have done some research on mechanical cameras before, and I can also repair antique cameras, but this is just a digital camera, all with integrated chips, and

You’re still so young, let alone seeing any problems, even if you ask me to fix them, I can’t even do it!”

At this time, Ermiao muttered behind us: "There's nothing wrong with this camera. It captured a ghost image. Maybe it's just a coincidence..."

Uncle Meow suddenly cheered up when he heard that Er Meow had captured "ghost images" with this camera. He turned on the large desk lamp on the workbench and looked carefully with a magnifying glass, mainly looking at the lens.

After watching for five or six minutes, Uncle Meow took off his magnifying glass and said to us: "There must be nothing wrong with this camera and the lens. I don't know why my brother said there is something wrong with this thing. However, the camera you mentioned can take pictures."

Such things as ghosting are not entirely groundless. There have indeed been many in history..."

Obviously, there is something in Uncle Meow's words...

Luo Feng and I are very curious and want to hear more from Uncle Meow...

At my instigation, Uncle Meow told us that in fact, many of the so-called supernatural photos that can be found on the Internet were taken when cameras were just invented, and the subjects of those photos were mainly European aristocrats.

In fact, photography technology had just been invented at that time, and the processing equipment and shooting techniques were very unprofessional.

Sometimes, due to exposure, development and other issues, you can see some ghost or ghost images in the photo.

In addition, people were quite superstitious at that time. When they looked at those undeveloped photos, they thought they had captured ghost images or something. In fact, it was because the photos had not been developed well.

Of course, this is not comprehensive. There are indeed special cameras that captured real supernatural scenes.

If the photos are true, Uncle Meow personally believes that the reason why the camera can capture things that are invisible to the human eye is mainly due to the lens.

The main component of the lens is optical glass. High-end lenses are hand-polished glass. Each lens is polished by hand. Sometimes, there will be some surface layers of different colors left on the lens. Those surface layers may be naturally formed after the glass cools.

It may be formed by grinding.

There is not one piece of glass inside the lens, but many pieces combined together, so a three-dimensional and mysterious refraction space is formed inside the lens.

Because the formation process is very subtle, you may be able to take pictures of some different dimensions or dimensions. These are so-called supernatural pictures.

However, that kind of lens is rare. Even with such a lens, you have to go to places with complex dimensions to shoot in order to get the photos you want.

This means that even if the camera is very powerful, it is impossible to take "supernatural photos" in ordinary places.

Uncle Miao emphasized that the possibilities mentioned above are mainly concentrated on high-end fully handmade lenses and mechanical cameras. Low-end camera lenses are glass injection molded, which is completely incomparable with handmade lenses.

For example, Ermiao's second-hand action camera costs only two to three thousand yuan, but it is also a low-end digital product. The lenses and chips are all produced on the assembly line, and it does not have any special functions...

but……

Listening to what Uncle Meow said, I suddenly remembered a story I had heard before, and I just wanted to tell it casually...

It is said that a wedding company bought a second-hand camera, mainly for shooting wedding scenes.

Later, I discovered that the faces of the bride and groom in the photo were very red, the kind of blood-tinged red...

At first I thought it was because the color tone wasn't adjusted properly, but unfortunately, I couldn't adjust it back.

It turned out that in order to save money, the wedding company bought a second-hand camera that was an old equipment replaced by the traffic team.

It was the early 2000s, before digital cameras became popular, and cameras were very expensive, with second-hand ones costing tens of thousands of yuan.

Later, when I asked someone about it, I found out that this camera was specially used to record traffic accidents, so...

This is just a story. I have heard it before. I don’t know whether it is true or not?

Since Uncle Meow said there is nothing wrong with Er Meow’s action camera, I still believe it.

Because although Uncle Miao is a bit of an underwhelming person in terms of ability, his character is trustworthy.

Since he said it was no problem, it must be no problem.

Could it be that Old Man Qian was mistaken, or was he deliberately lying?

I recalled Old Man Qian’s expression at that time. He was holding the camera with one hand, raising his sword finger and circling it with the other hand. His expression and movements with his eyes closed were indeed very exaggerated, very much like he was performing...

But why would he lie to us?

I didn't understand it at first, but I soon understood it!

Old Man Qian did this on purpose. He passed the blame to his junior brother. His purpose was to send Luo Feng and me away quickly and leave his stall, so as not to delay his business and make a lot of money.

Uh-huh……

With a character as smart and cunning as old man Qian, he can definitely do this kind of thing!

Since there was nothing wrong with this second-hand camera, Ermiao wanted the camera back, so Luo Feng returned the camera to Ermiao. After all, the police can't just seize people's personal belongings, right?

Ermiao was naturally very happy when she got her camera back.

Luo Feng was leaving, saying he was going to investigate the identity of the deceased, that is, the man with a big belly. The guy seemed to be a rich man, and with some background, it should be easy to find clues.

I didn't continue to follow Luo Feng, but stayed at Er Miao's house.

Uncle Meow continued to cook in the kitchen, and then I naturally had a meal at Uncle Meow's house.

After eating and drinking, Ermiao and I returned to his canteen.

On the way, Ermiao said that he used the video materials taken at the beach villa to make three short videos. After posting them online, he earned more than 2,000 yuan.

Hearing that Ermiao has such great achievements, when compared with others, I feel like I am wasting my time.

My classmate Ermiao has so many fans, yet she works so hard and is so dedicated. As a little video broadcaster, I have just started, but I have done nothing and made no effort at all. I really feel extremely ashamed!
