Tips on how to shoot in Gannan Tibetan area;

When shooting in Gannan Tibetan Area, it is best to have an old driver with experience in shooting Gannan to lead the way, so as to avoid misunderstandings caused by national habits, and at the same time provide more professional photography guidance and find some unique photography perspectives.

Panorama of Labrang Temple

The shooting point is located at the commanding height of 50 meters in Tainan, Sun Buddha, Tarnum. It is suggested to use a wide-angle lens and tripod to take a panoramic view of Labrang Temple surrounded by Daxia River.

Labuleng temple cloister

When shooting the corridor of turning meridian, Tibetans should be the main body, and the composition method suggests using the convergent line composition method, and using the straight line guidance in the image to highlight the piety of turning meridian.

Langmusi

Early morning and evening shooting in langmusi is the best shooting time. A good photo needs not only careful preparation, but also a suitable seat.

Above: The composition puts langmusi at the golden section on the right, which makes the ratio of the sky to the ground very comfortable (recommended).

Below: langmusi is placed in the middle of the bottom, and the sky remains too much, which makes the bottom look heavy (not recommended).

In summer, langmusi is prone to fog. When fog and smoke rise at the same time, it is a magnificent shooting scene under the sunlight. Because it is located on the plateau, the cloud flows very fast, and some towns can be covered by the shadow of the cloud, which makes the picture more rich in light and shadow levels. The relationship between foreground, middle scene, foreground and fog has a great influence on a good fog painting. Due to the large scene, attention should be paid to the composition distribution of the distant mountains in the town when shooting. The next step is to wait for the moment when the cloud just covers the edge of the ravine and the house in the ravine just lights up.

Zagana

Above: The best shooting point at sunset is located at the end of the sightseeing wooden plank road in the upper scenic spot of Fairy Beach, which makes the village and distant mountains visually balanced, and the composition of the ground and sky makes the picture more harmonious.

Bottom: The best shooting place at sunrise is on the high platform of the wooden plank road in Murata, Yeri. The rape flowers in the foreground, the village in the middle and the mountain peaks in the distance constitute a full composition, and the clouds in the sky give the whole movie a sense of mystery.

ruoergaihuahu

Huahu photography recommends symmetrical composition, which is intended to show the reflection of the sky in the water. In order to make the reflection clearer, it is necessary to use a polarizer to eliminate the reflection on the water. The best shooting time of Huahu Lake is from late June to July. At that time, wild flowers and mandarin ducks were everywhere, which was the most beautiful moment of Huahu Lake.

Tangke Yellow River has nine bends and eighteen bends.

In the process of shooting the Yellow River with nine twists and eighteen bends, different metering modes can be used to create an unreasonable tone.

The above picture uses the whole area metering mode, which makes the reflection of the Yellow River more obvious, while the rest of the scenery is dim.

The following picture was taken in spot metering mode, and it was found that the sky in the picture was overexposed and there was no sense of hierarchy. Full-area photometry makes it easier to capture the best moment of a vibrant sunset.

Seda shooting

Location: Jingangtan Temple goes east through the banner.

Best shooting time: you need to arrive half an hour before sunset to shoot the night scene.

Shooting skills: Buddhist colleges can shoot panoramic views before sunset, and "magic blue" will appear half an hour after sunset, because it is not completely dark at this time. Due to the color temperature, the overall tone of the photo will be cool blue. When the street lamp of the Buddhist College is turned on, the contrast between cold and warm will create a different beauty of the Buddhist College. You can record the taillights of cars going up the mountain by slow door shooting, and the combination of static and dynamic makes the Buddhist College full of life at night.

Buddhist college street shooting

Best shooting time: two hours before sunrise and after sunset.

Shooting skills: Buddhist College is the best place to shoot humanities. In order to avoid disturbing the practitioners, we can shoot from a distance with a telephoto lens. If shooting is allowed through communication, the facial furrows of the yogi can be shown with a fixed-focus lens, which can make people feel awe. Street shooting is relatively mobile, so it is recommended to capture every moment with AV or TV files. When encountering dharma meeting and extreme weather, the magical Tindal phenomenon will appear when the light changes at sunrise and sunset, which is also the best moment to set off the characters.

Humanistic photography in the temple

When shooting works with humanistic themes, communication with the subjects is one of the important shooting skills, but sometimes we will encounter many special situations. The Labrang Temple belongs to a place where Tibetan lamas listen and think hard, because the local people are disgusted with the camera because of customs and habits. How to shoot smoothly while respecting local folk customs requires us to use some special methods and skills.

Sometimes, if the subject is far away from the photographer, you can use a telephoto lens to shoot, because the distance will not interfere with the subject, which is more conducive to capturing the natural state of the subject.

Some temples or buildings can be photographed on location, but they are not allowed to visit temples. You can use a half-open door or window fence as the foreground, and the hidden picture inside makes the work more imaginative.

In addition, we can make a breakthrough from the children outside the temple. Children are pure by nature. Candy and stationery are very popular among Tibetan children, but cash is not recommended. After getting on well with your children, you can take some photos of them. Many adults will not interfere with your shooting at this time, and you can also bring them into the camera by the way.

Note that there are many natural landscapes in Gannan that have not been developed and destroyed by business, and there are a lot of natural wonders. When you come, you must leave a lot of photos to keep your memory. How can I make a good work and stand out among my friends?

Equipment: Gannan photography route is mainly composed of plateaus, canyons, lakes and other landforms, so the focal length of shooting equipment should be comprehensive. Preparing a more comprehensive focal length is not only to avoid "zoom basically depends on walking" to save physical strength, but also to obtain different perspective effects. It is best to carry a camera, tripod, lens and, if possible, a drone.

Attractions: From different angles, most of the scenic spots in Gannan can be photographed from high places, which can capture the panoramic view of villages and scenic spots, and can also capture the picture of clouds from different angles, which is very shocking; Don't be afraid to get close to your subject when taking cultural photos, but please say hello to him sincerely in advance, which will make you gain more. In a complex shooting environment, you need to observe keenly, find out the contrast, and look for "contrast elements" or people you find interesting in the scene to shoot; When shooting natural landscape, it is necessary to use typical three-dimensional composition to form a stable picture. You can use the outline of the scene to divide the picture into three parts horizontally, and put the main body on the golden section line, so that the object effect and composition effect are the best.

Note: Some monasteries or buildings in Gannan can be filmed on location, but visitors to temples are not allowed. You can use a half-open door or window fence as the foreground, and the hidden picture inside makes the work more imaginative. In addition, don't sneak shots without the consent of others to avoid conflicts.
