It's crisp in autumn and you like photography. Can you still stay at home quietly? Photography colleagues are gathered in this beautiful photography paradise, dam, this charming grassland, cattle and sheep in groups, blue sky and white clouds, where the colors are more layered and varied. Let's take a look at what surprises photography will have here.

In autumn, the forest on the dam is full of dye and rich in color; Sunrise and sunset, grassland and birch forest are the most worth shooting. Autumn scenery on the dam is so beautiful that you can take good photos with a broken camera! But autumn on Bashang comes early, quietly and goes early and quickly, so we should seize the opportunity.

Preparation of photographic equipment:

Take landscape photos, of course, the lens should be from wide angle to telephoto, such as 17-35mm, 28-70mm, 70-200mm.

Wait a minute. Magnifier will reduce the picture quality, so it is recommended to use it less. There are no flowers on the dam in autumn, so the macro head is not needed. If there are Canon G 10 and Panasonic LX3.

A camera like this, I suggest you take it with you and shoot tidbits at any time. Of course, be sure to prepare more camera batteries. You must bring a tripod. By the way, check whether the quick-loading plate on the Yuntai is brought. It is often found that after a movie friend brought the tripod all the way, the fast loading board was still at home.

Autumn Bashang climate:

The elevation on the dam is 1500- 1800.

About meters, the vegetation is well protected, and the temperature difference between dams is about ten degrees. There is a great temperature difference on the dam in autumn. At noon during the day, the temperature is about 20 degrees Celsius, and it will be as low as zero sooner or later. Especially when the film friends go to shoot the sunrise at 3 am, the temperature is very low, just like entering winter. Some film friends in the south are inexperienced, so they come to the dam in shorts and shorts, and they can't get out sooner or later. When you come to Bashang for photography in autumn, you must bring more clothes. According to the temperature in early winter, you need thick coats and trousers. Besides, don't forget to bring gloves. The best equipment is jacket, wool jacket and shoes. Generally, there is little rain and almost no heavy rain in autumn, but it is best to bring rain gear.

Famous scenic spots on Bashang:

Colorful mountain:

Colorful mountains are a must. In autumn, all kinds of leaves and shrubs in Cai Wu are colorful, so you can photograph their color contrast. The Grand Canyon is actually a circular valley under the colorful mountain. There are birch forests on both sides of the valley, and sometimes there are cattle in the valley. Suitable for panoramic shooting with wide-angle camera.

Beigou:

Here, you can shoot grassland scenery, red azaleas, or take close-ups of birch forests. When taking a close-up of birch trunks, choose the straightest trunks in rows. You can try virtual focus and secondary focus, and the works you shoot will feel a little like oil painting. When the opportunity is good, there are sheep and horses under the slope. In the morning, you can also shoot the sunrise at the top of Beigouliang. Sometimes the film and television base is shrouded in misty morning fog, and it is easy to make movies.

Princess Lake:

The scenery of Princess Lake in autumn is very good. The golden birch trees on the lake are reflected in the water, and you can take pictures of the lake scenery, birch trees on the lake, wooden houses and scattered sheep on the lake. In the evening, you can shoot the grassland sunset in Hou Liang, overlooking the undulating horizon, rows of birch forests and grazing sheep.

Sanguaizigou:

The only place for cinematographers to take photos is a place where they can shoot autumn grasslands, birch forests, sheep in the forest, villages and other scenery. In the evening, the shepherd will drive the sheep back to the village, and the sunset will shed golden light in the forest, and the returned sheep will flow in the forest. Press the camera shutter as you like! The nearby river head is also a good place to shoot the sunset.

Huashugou:

In the direction of Hamaba, the whole road is paved with asphalt, and the road conditions are good. As the name implies, the scenery along the way is dominated by birch forests, so you can take photos while walking. Pay attention to safety when taking pictures on the roadside. There is an unnamed lake on the way, which is an artificial scenic spot (individuals will charge). The scenery is good. You can take some photos.

Panlong Canyon:

Hongshan Army Racecourse is about 30 kilometers north. It is a quiet place, integrating valleys, forests, grasslands, rivers and lakes. It's like a paradise. There is a river lying like Youlong in the valley, which flows all the year round. It takes about 1 hour to walk from the mouth of the ditch to the end of the canyon, and you can photograph the birch forest, rivers, grassland and villagers in autumn along the way.

Taoshan Lake:

Good photos of lake water, birch trees and mist are generally from Taoshan Lake. It's a long way in the direction of Yudaokou Ranch. You can choose to shoot the sunrise of the dam in the morning. Autumn scenery here is beautiful! There are rows of birch forests by the lake, and it is often foggy in the morning. Generally speaking, several good movies can be made here. There is frost on the trestle in autumn, so pay attention to anti-skid when taking pictures on the trestle.

Shooting skills:

When shooting magnificent grasslands, you can choose the corner of houses, cattle and sheep, trees or rivers as the focus. Therefore, when shooting, we must develop a good habit of clearly choosing the focus. When shooting sheep, horses and other large herds, you should choose a high angle. In the grassland area of high latitude, ultraviolet rays are very strong, and PL mirror (polarizer) is equipped to absorb ultraviolet light source and improve image quality.

The core of grassland photos is lines and colors. The use of composition and framing, lines and colors can show the most beautiful side and fully express the theme connotation. Need to remind you: First of all, the wind is very strong in many places on the grassland. When shooting grassland scenery, it is best to take a tripod with reliable quality.

Composition skills of grassland shooting

Because of the uniqueness of grassland scenery, the choice of scenery and the reasonable composition, it plays a very important role in grassland photography. Among the common photographic composition methods, horizontal line composition, curve composition, diagonal line composition and convergent line composition can all reflect the vast and atmospheric side of grassland.

The position of the horizon and the sky. It is often a crucial link that affects the picture effect in grassland photography. According to different screen requirements, the effect of putting the money on the horizon in the first third, middle third or last third is also very different.

The horizontal line is in two-thirds position.

The horizontal line is in one third.

In most other choices, panoramic view and distant view are often the favorite of film friends to shoot grassland; Some flowers and trees on the grassland, as well as cattle, sheep and animals, can also be portrayed at close range by means of medium lens and close-up.

Lighting skills in grassland shooting

Grassland areas generally have long sunshine hours and strong sunlight. On most sunny days, you can see low clouds and rich sunset clouds. This is also an important reason for attracting many photographers to create.

Rational use of prime time between morning and dusk is the basis of shooting grassland light. Under the condition of unobstructed light, it can reflect the peaceful side of grassland; Backlight can focus on the richness of clouds and the change of the sky. Of course, on cloudy days or cloudy days, you can also use scattered light to aim the subject at elements such as birch forest, cattle and sheep.

Precautions for grassland shooting:

(1) Be sure to equip the lens with a uv mirror. This can protect the lens and make the sky bluer. A hood to prevent glare interference is also essential. A suitable polarizer should also be carried with you.

(2) The twilight on the grassland is naturally a good time. The strong sunlight during the day often makes a great contrast between the light receiving surface and the back of the scene, but it is also the time to capture the strange light and shadow effect.

(3) It is best to bring as little equipment as possible to reduce the physical discomfort caused by altitude hypoxia, but a tripod is essential. A tripod suitable for shooting in grassland, preferably made of carbon fiber, is relatively light.

(4) When taking photos in the grassland, try to avoid disturbing the cattle and sheep on it.

Special reminder:

The dam in autumn is really a good place for photography. If you travel purely, it may be more suitable for friends in the south. Friends who are photographers in the north will feel amazing and almost always make good films. However, the scenery on the dam is a bit similar, and it is inevitable that you will be tired of aesthetics if you watch too much, so friends who travel generally don't have to insist on going to all the scenic spots.
