202 1 A detailed introduction to tourism photography of Dongchuan Red Land

This piece of Dongchuan red land is a scenic spot in Kunming, Yunnan. It is suitable for traveling all year round, and it is also a paradise for photographers. So how to plan the route and itinerary from Dongchuan Red Land to road trip? Let's have a look.

The land in Dongchuan, Yunnan Province has developed into red soil in hot and rainy weather. This kind of soil contains more iron and aluminum, less organic matter, strong acidity and heavy clay. Yunnan is located in a warm and humid environment, and the iron in the soil slowly precipitates after oxidation, gradually forming a dazzling color. Yunnan Dongchuan Red Land is the most magnificent red land in China. It is rich in color, concentrated, typical and distinctive, coupled with blue sky, white clouds and unpredictable light, attracting many photographers to create.

Optimal travel time

The best seasons for red land photography are May-June and September-65438+February. You can see different scenery in different seasons. In summer, potatoes bloom and wheat matures, which is more suitable for play. Wild mushrooms, game and wild fruits are all acceptable. It's just that the weather in rainy season is hard to know. But there are often many climates in a day, and it is common for the sun to come out when it rains. In autumn, some red land has been ploughed for planting, while others have been planted with green barley or wheat. Yunnan's unique white rape flowers are also in full bloom and rich in color.

This land is very strange, and its color changes with time and climate. If the weather is fine, the color of the land will become lighter; If it rains, it will turn dark red The ideal shooting time is within one or two days after the rain, when the red land is the most beautiful. The land soaked by rain is more colorful in the sun. At this time, the air is fresh, the land is brightly colored, and the picture of the shooting place is also very good. After the heavy rain, the clouds dispersed, the sun was shining, the sky became bluer and more moving, the clouds changed their positions, and the light and shadow cast in the fields were sometimes illusory, and every second was a brand-new picture. If you are lucky, you can also see the rainbow and the red land as a whole.

1. Every May

After buckwheat is ripe, the whole land is golden yellow, and the land where wheat has been harvested has been ploughed by farmers. The soil is particularly red. If it rains the day before, it will clear up the next day, and it will be particularly red under the sunlight, which is simply a palette.

2. Every year from September to early October.

White rape flowers unique to Dongchuan are blooming everywhere. When white rape blossoms are in full bloom, you can see the spectacular combination of white flowers and red soil. White and red are very beautiful and special.

3. Every year from 65438+ 10 to 165438+ 10.

The red soil has turned up again, and the color is also very rich, full of harvest scenes.

Here, I will explain to you why there is no shooting time in winter. The red soil in Dongchuan is dry in winter, the soil color is dark, there are no crops on the land, and many other factors lead to the colorless red soil in Dongchuan in winter. Under such conditions, it is impossible to create a satisfactory film. The so-called winter red land photography itinerary or winter red land photography route on the Internet is just a route created by some non-professional photographers and travel agencies, which belongs to the lack of better shooting. Taking pictures on red soil in winter can only prove that you have been to red soil, not to mention the creation of color.
