What are the outdoor photographic equipment?

Outdoor photography, since the word outdoor came into being, is naturally outdoor-oriented, and photography is one of the ways to record outdoor sports. Nowadays, both photographers and outdoor enthusiasts enjoy being close to nature. Of course, having a good set of equipment is the icing on the cake and the best. This is not a small series. This is a guide to outdoor photographic equipment. Let's have a look. Outdoor photographic equipment What outdoor photographic equipment should be equipped with?

I. Preparation of equipment

Nowadays, when travelers go out to travel, they are no longer satisfied with simply taking a walk and taking some commemorative photos of "visiting here". Instead, they want to combine tourism photography to photograph the great rivers and mountains, scenic spots and historical sites and customs of the motherland through tourism. So this involves the problem of photographic equipment, mainly including cameras, lenses and various accessories. So what kind of camera do you bring? What kind of lens does it match? What accessories do you need? Here, Bian Xiao gives some advice to my friends:

(1), digital camera

1. Small portable card machine.

If you are a simple donkey friend and just want to take some commemorative photos of "coming here" when you travel? Take some scenic photos by the way and enjoy yourself at home. Then Bian Xiao suggested that you bring a small and portable card machine.

As the saying goes: an advanced camera hangs on the chest, and it depends on fools to grab the lens. The card camera is small and exquisite, easy to carry and low in price, which is very suitable for ordinary tourists.

2. Economical and applicable SLR.

If you are a travel photographer who is interested in photography, besides traveling around the mountains, you also want to do some photography creation and shoot some scenic figures, then Bian Xiao suggests that you take an economical SLR.

Although SLR digital cameras are heavier and more expensive than ordinary card-type citizen cameras, they are not so convenient to carry. The SLR digital camera has the advantages of large photosensitive element, high imaging quality, better imaging, more powerful function and better maneuverability, and can change different lenses. All shooting parameters can be set manually, and the camera can be viewed directly through the reflector, so there is no error between the viewing angle and the actual photo, which is more convenient for creating and shooting personalized photos.

3. High quality Quan Huafu or medium format camera.

If you are an "enthusiast" of tourism photography, you want to take photography as a career and become a photographer in the future, and there is no shortage of money at home. The main purpose of traveling photography is to create photography and shoot works. Then Leader Outdoor Bian Xiao suggests that you bring a high-quality Quan Huafu digital camera or medium format camera, which is both "pie" and "cool" in your hand, enough for you to play for several years.

(2), choose to carry the lens.

When hikers decide what brand and model of digital SLR camera to carry, they should consider what brand and focal length of lens to configure. So, what focal length lens is more suitable for you?

1, self-entertainment macro lens.

Macro lens is a special lens for macro photography. Most macro lenses have a larger focal length than standard lenses and can be classified as telescope heads, but the optical design is not as good as ordinary telescope heads, which is not completely suitable for general photography.

Features: In order to focus the subject correctly at a very close distance, the macro lens is usually designed to be longer, so that the optical center is as far away from the photosensitive element as possible. At the same time, in the design of lens group, we should also pay attention to the control of close-range deformation and color difference.

Classification: Different manufacturers use different standards to name macro lenses. First, a macro lens refers to a lens with a reproduction ratio of 1: 1; Second, the micro-focus lens refers to the lens with the reproduction ratio of 1: 1.2- 1:2; Third, the close-focus lens.

Uses: It is mainly used to shoot very tiny objects and tiny natural scenery, such as flowers, insects, still life, retake photos, etc. Will give you a wonderful visual experience of entertaining yourself.

2. Wide-angle lens with strong visual impact.

Wide-angle lens is a photographic lens with shorter focal length, larger viewing angle, longer focal length and smaller viewing angle than standard lens.

Features: the lens has a large viewing angle and a wide field of vision. The range of scenery observed from a certain viewpoint is much larger than that seen by human eyes at the same viewpoint; And the depth of field is long, which can show a fairly clear range; It can emphasize the perspective effect of the picture, be good at exaggerating the foreground and express the sense of distance of the scene, which is very beneficial to enhance the appeal and visual impact of the picture.

Classification: Wide-angle lenses are divided into ordinary wide-angle lenses and ultra-wide-angle lenses. 135 camera's common wide-angle lens has a focal length of 38-24 mm and a viewing angle of 60-84 degrees. The ultra wide-angle lens has a focal length of 20- 13mm and a viewing angle of 94- 1 18 degrees. Because the wide-angle lens has a short focal length and a large viewing angle, it can shoot a large area of scenery in a short shooting distance. 10- 17mm is super wide angle, and 17-35mm is wide angle.

Uses: widely used in relatively small rooms, more suitable for shooting large scenes, such as landscapes, grasslands, deserts, oceans, buildings and so on.

3. Easy-to-operate zoom lens.

Zoom lens is a kind of camera lens that can change the focal length in a certain range, so as to get different field of view, different images and different scene ranges.

Features: Without changing the shooting distance, changing the shooting range by changing the focal length is very beneficial to picture composition. Because a zoom lens can also serve as several fixed-focus lenses, it not only reduces the number of photographic equipment to carry when traveling, but also saves the time for changing lenses.

Classification: People usually divide zoom lenses into three types: medium focus zoom lenses, long focus zoom lenses and telescope heads. Generally, 35- 135mm is a medium focus zoom lens, 135-200mm is a telephoto zoom lens, (28-300mm is a large zoom lens) and 300mm is a telescope head.

Usage: medium focal length, mainly used for shooting humanities and portraits. (The focal length of 85mm in this focal length is especially considered as the best focal length for taking portraits, so friends can often see that the lens of 85mmF 1.8 is called portrait head). Long focal length, more suitable for shooting people, close-ups, stages, etc. Round head, specially used for shooting wild animals, birds, astronomy, etc. The large zoom lens of "one mirror goes all over the world" is especially suitable for travel photographers. It is easy to carry and use, and can meet the shooting needs in various environments.

Second, bring the necessary accessories.

Take your favorite camera and some necessary accessories when you travel for photography. Don't underestimate these accessories, they will bring a lot of unexpected help to your travel photography creation. So what accessories do you need to bring?

1. Tripod is a must.

A tripod is used to fix the camera. You can take clear and high-quality photos, especially in rainy days, indoors and at night. There are two things to consider when buying a tripod. First, it should be firm and stable. Second, it should be light and durable, because we have to carry a tripod across mountains and rivers, which is too heavy and inconvenient to carry.

2. Cable release is essential.

Cable release (remote control) is an accessory used to control the shutter opening. Mainly used for slow, long exposure and night shooting, which can prevent camera shake and ensure the clarity of photos.

You should bring more memory cards.

The memory card is used to store the photos taken. You must take more memory cards when you go out for travel photography, so as not to take too many photos and you don't have a memory card, then you will be "stupid".

Memory cards are divided into SM card, CF card, MMC card, SD card, XD card, memory stick and micro hard disk. Although the appearance and specifications of these flash cards are different, the technology is the same. As for what card to buy, it depends on what camera you use.

4. Prepare more batteries.

The battery mainly supplies power to the camera. Digital cameras go on strike as soon as they run out of power. At that time, even the best scenery could only be seen. So you must bring more spare batteries when you create travel photography.

5. The charger is a complete set.

Chargers are used to charge batteries, and usually refer to devices that convert alternating current into low-voltage direct current. Without a charger, the battery can't be charged if it is dead. You must bring it when you go out for travel photography. Don't forget.

6. Color filters should be selective.

Color filter (filter) is an optical device, which is mainly used to correct the color temperature of light source, compensate color and selectively absorb (or pass) light according to different bands in color photography. It consists of a mirror ring and a filter, usually installed in front of the camera lens.

7. The flash is used to fill the light.

Flash is a kind of light supplement equipment, which can ensure that clear and bright pictures can be taken in dark conditions. When shooting outdoors, the flash can also be used as an auxiliary light source to emphasize skin color and create special effects according to the photographer's ideas.

8. You can't forget the card reader.

The card reader, as its name implies, is the device used to read the contents of the memory card, that is, the intermediate device for data exchange between the computer and the memory card. After inserting the memory card into the card reader, you can transfer photos by connecting the computer.

9. A digital companion is a backup.

Digital Companion is a digital storage device that combines high-speed and large-capacity mobile hard disk with various card readers, and can realize data transmission on digital memory cards. The mobile hard disk with liquid crystal display has a card reading function, so that the contents of the digital card can be directly stored on the mobile hard disk.

10. Notebooks are for effect.

Notebook computer (NB for short), also known as laptop or laptop, is a small, portable personal computer, usually weighing 1-3 kg. Its development trend is smaller and lighter, but its function is more and more powerful, which is also commonly known as netbook. The main difference from PC is that it is easy to carry. In particular, today's tablet computers are more compact and exquisite.

1 1. Cleaning tools are maintained.

Most places where travelers go to create travel photography are bad weather and poor conditions, so they have to sleep outdoors. Cameras often get dirty by dust, get wet in the rain and get into the sand. The leading outdoor editor thinks it necessary to bring some cleaning tools with him. Regular cleaning and maintenance of the camera can prolong the service life of your beloved camera.

Commonly used cleaners include: lens paper, lens cloth, hair dryer, brush, lens cleaning liquid, etc.
