How to shoot photography at the top of the mountain

1, equipment: In addition to cameras, it is best to have wide-angle lenses and telephoto lenses. In addition, a tripod with excellent performance, a backpack with rain-proof function and sufficient batteries are also essential.

2, camera settings: it is best to choose a small aperture shooting, so that the shutter will slow down accordingly, thus obtaining a larger depth of field range; In order to ensure a clear picture, you need to use a tripod to stabilize the camera; Because the top of the mountain is often complex and windy, you should choose a tripod that is easy to carry and firm.

3. Aircraft location: It is best to choose a higher ground. When you climb to the top of the mountain to shoot, you can feel the majestic momentum of the whole mountain, or the feeling of continuous ups and downs, which reminds people of the poem, "Once you climb to the top of the mountain and peek, you will soon see that other mountains are dwarfed under the sky." .

4. Composition: It is recommended to combine horizontal and vertical composition. Shoot the banner picture of the mountain with a wide-angle lens, and the wide field of vision can show the ups and downs of the mountain vividly; Shooting the vertical picture of the mountain peak will greatly enhance the perspective of the mountain peak, thus producing a sense of height and depth, which well shows the majesty of the mountain peak.

5. Light application: it should be used flexibly according to different themes. Shooting mountain scenery along the light, the picture is bright, which can well express the colors of trees and blue sky, but the three-dimensional sense of mountains is poor; Side-lighting mountain scenery can describe the lines of the mountain, show the level of the mountain, and make the picture more stereoscopic. Through the contrast between light and dark, the picture is rich in layers and the visual effect is good. If you choose to shoot in reverse light, most of the scenery is in the shadow, and the effect of overlapping mountains can be highlighted by contour light or strong contrast between light and shade.
