What are the skills to shoot the sky?

Shunt shooting

There is a rule in the blue sky tour. The sky photographed along the light is the bluest, followed by the side light. When shooting against the light, it is often almost white. Therefore, the color saturation of the blue sky photographed along the light angle is quite high, especially the sky above the photographer's head is particularly bright and rich. Therefore, as long as you pay attention to the angle of light in shooting practice, you can generally get a brighter blue sky. In addition, we should choose the right place and the right weather to shoot. Because the color of the blue sky is also closely related to the clarity of the sky, the reason why we can often photograph the blue sky in mountainous grassland and other places is also because these places have less industrial pollution and high air transparency. Therefore, when shooting in a big city, you might as well choose a sunny day after the rain. After being washed by the rain, the dust in the air has settled, and the color of the sky is particularly clear and transparent, making it easier to shoot the blue effect.

With the aid of a polarizer

Polarizers, also known as polarizers, are used for sidelight positions. When it rotates to a certain angle, it can eliminate polarized light in the air and use a polarizer to improve the saturation of blue. Polarizers can be divided into circular polarizers and linear polarizers, which can rotate freely when used and will not hinder focusing. After installing a polarizer on the lens, rotate the polarizer properly and pay attention to the viewfinder during the rotation. You will find that the brightness of the scene in the field of vision, even the details and colors have changed.

Pay attention to exposure control

Accurate exposure can get better color reproduction, but in some specific cases, proper reduction of exposure can get better results. For example, when using color reversal film or digital camera, appropriately reducing the exposure of 1/3 or 1/2fv will make the blue sky more colorful, and when shooting in backlight, the exposure to be reduced may be more! Of course, it should also be fully considered in the specific implementation. If other important contents in the picture will be obviously affected, it is not appropriate to attend to one thing and lose sight of another. In some cases, good photos can be taken only by silhouette. When shooting, you can take more photos with different aperture shutter combinations, or use the peripheral exposure function provided by the camera, and then choose the most ideal one.

Qinghai, a vast area of 720,000 square kilometers, is still full of wonders. It is a world with four seasons rotating, or a movement played by people and scenery.

Every year, every season, every month, different Qinghai, the most beautiful Qinghai!

Qinghai Lake

It is as blue as the ocean, but purer than the ocean; It is as blue as the sky, but deeper than the sky.

Qinghai Lake is 3196m above sea level. As far as seasons are concerned, the best time to travel in Qinghai Lake is spring and summer.

Among them, birds stay in Qinghai Lake in May and June, which is the best time to go to Bird Island. In July and August, the weather gets warmer and rape blossoms are in full bloom. 15 1 The scenic spot is like a fairyland.

Erlangjian Scenic Spot in Qinghai Lake is the main scenic spot in Qinghai Lake and the only 5A scenic spot in Qinghai Lake, which is the above-mentioned 15 1 scenic spot.

Heima River is the best place to watch the sunrise of Qinghai Lake. This section on the way from Heima River to Qinghai Lake is known as the most beautiful section of Qinghai Lake, which presents different beautiful scenery in different seasons: in May, wild flowers are in full bloom, birds are singing and flowers are fragrant; In August, 10,000 mu of rapeseed bloomed brilliantly by the lake; 10 in the prosperous month, the Heimahe grassland is calm, and Qinghai Lake also presents the most simple beauty.

About 20 kilometers around the East Lake of Qinghai Lake, there are golden sand dunes on both sides of the road. This small desert area is Jinsha Bay in Qinghai Lake.

Purity and reflection

A mirror reflecting heaven and earth

A piece of pure white blue, a mirror that can look at the sky, see the world clearly and see yourself clearly. Walking in the vast salt lake, I can't help but want to jump and feel the purity of nature.

The salt water on the lake is clear and transparent, as crystal as snow, as always.

Chaka Salt Lake in Qinghai is known as "the mirror of China sky"!

Count the stars, twinkle

How can you not talk about the starry sky here when you mention tea cards? I believe you must have seen it in countless travel magazines or guidebooks more than once.

At night in Chaka Salt Lake, the sky is high and the clouds are light, the milky way is vast, the meteors are bright and the stars are shining.

Coupled with the mirror-like reflection of the salt lake, the starry sky and the lake are integrated and complement each other. The scene of the stars in the water and the moon in the mirror is displayed in front of us, and the ancient rhyme of "hands can pick stars" seems to have a new explanation.

Be sure to take a good shot!

I know you and I can't escape the customs in the end. Taking beautiful photos must be the eternal pursuit of tea card tour.

Even if you don't like being photographed or appearing in the camera at all, when you arrive at this dreamlike place, you will be moved and moved by the beautiful scenery.

Then the question is, how can we take "other people's travel photos"?

Let's start with something professional-

1. Wide-angle lens is the best choice to shoot the whole salt lake;

2. Because of the refraction of light, thinning mirror or polarizer is essential;

3. The white balance should be slightly cold when shooting, which will highlight the blue of the sky;

4. When shooting the starry sky, strong flashlight, cable and tripod are golden partners.

Say something that everyone can do—

1.10am and 5pm are the best time to shoot the sky. At this time, the soft light is easy to make a reflection, which can describe your beauty just right;

Please watch the weather forecast carefully, eat and recite Buddha quickly, do more good deeds and don't be impatient. Sunny and breezy weather is 90% successful.

Please be more patient, more fairy, stand more steadily, dance more lightly, and look more natural and beautiful.

4. Repeat: People are more beautiful.

Best season: around June.

Precautions:

1. There is no place to eat in the scenic spot, please bring your own rations or eat directly or go on a diet to lose weight;

2. When walking in the lake, be careful of those large and small black holes, which are called brine pits. Heavy people will fall when they step on it. Remember to watch your step when taking pictures.

3. Traveling barefoot is an unforgettable experience, but it is inevitable that there will be coarse salt crystals on the shore, which will not stick to the heart and feet;

4. Salt Lake is 306 1 m above sea level, which is also considered as plateau. Don't do strenuous exercise, beware of the dragon's high reaction;

5. You need to know the climate in the plateau, and you don't need to bring sunscreen if you are not afraid of sunburn. You don't need to bring rain gear if you are not afraid of getting wet;

6. Have a nice trip.

First of all, if you want to photograph a person, this person had better wear bright colors, such as big red! Secondly, the best shooting time is around 4 pm, or when the sun is not very strong in the morning! In fact, many good photos will be retouched later! Personally, I'm not a professional, but I said it according to my feelings when I went.
