What's interesting about Badain Jaran Desert? What can you shoot? How to arrange the route?

The desert is far from our life. This is a sea of death, where life is extinct and should not be welcomed. However, in recent years, the desert has become a popular tourist resource, attracting many people to visit.

It's a two-hour drive to Jinchang this time. I went to Badain Jaran Desert specially.

The gate of this desert scenic spot is next to the second-class highway, but the theme of the play is to drive inside for half an hour. This section is getting more and more desolate until it is full of sand dunes. The destination is a hotel. Surprisingly, there are two lakes not far away. Open the satellite map and find that there are more than 1000 such lakes in this area. It turns out that there are parks and oases in the desert, which reminds me of my first enlightenment in the desert. I read the Desert written by Gu Long in junior high school.

There are too many things to shoot in the desert for a photographer. That evening, we climbed over a sand dune and photographed angular light and shadow. As the sun sets, the desert turns from yellow to gold, from orange to red, and finally disappears into the night.

After dinner, drive to a place where there is no light pollution to shoot stars. The sky in the Badain Jaran Desert is so transparent that the wind that started blowing almost one afternoon actually stopped. It doesn't take much effort to photograph the night sky in the Badain Jaran Desert. Even the APS frame with 4.0 aperture can get good results. Little friends play a mobile phone special effect or something, and there are many tricks.

The desert morning scene should not be missed. It is always quiet in the morning and there is no wind. When the sun just rises, shoot a delay, then lift the plane and shoot the back of the sand dune. At this time, both portraits and landscapes have very good effects.

Pay attention to windy days when shooting in the desert. Very fine sand particles enter the equipment and are difficult to clean. Therefore, you should be very careful when walking with a machine. When shooting, it is best to use a sand cover dedicated to the camera to protect the camera.
