New Zealand tourism photography guide 20 18

Travel must take photos, so today Bian Xiao will tell you how to take photos in New Zealand, or how to take photos in New Zealand. It's not fun to take pictures when camping.

photographic equipment

Camera: Canon EOS6D

Lens: Canon 17-40F4L, Canon 70-200F2.8L, Sigma 24F 1.4Art, Sigma 35f1.4art.

Others: tripod, Gopro, iPhone

Tips:

Wide-angle lens: essential; Landscape, portrait, starry sky; For shooting stars, it is generally believed that the wider the wide-angle end, the better the aperture.

Telephoto lens: a must; Scenery, portraits, wild animals, personal habits with 70-200F2.8 specifications, shooting animals can be equipped with a magnifying glass.

Medium focus: zoom or fixed focus, depending on the situation, people are used to using 35 fixed focus.

Tripod: essential; Timing photography, video, fixed position selfie

Shutter remote control: if there is no peer partner, self-timer is necessary (if the camera supports WiFi, you can use App instead).

The better the equipment, the heavier the weight, plus the tripod, which is very impressive. However, many shooting spots require advanced people to walk hard for a long time, so hiking with load is a necessary skill.

Shooting skill

If you ask a stranger to take a photo for you (or take a selfie by remote control), choose the shooting location in advance, shoot after the composition is completed, and lock the plane, focus, expose and shoot when you are satisfied. This is the most common and effective method. Remember, be sure to lock any parameters and positions that can be locked. Your friend or passerby is just a shutter.

Popular places, try to choose places with sunrise, soft light and few people. Generally, a good shooting environment can be obtained at sunrise and sunset. Due to the early sunrise and late sunset in summer in New Zealand, the shooting time of the landlord is not good.

Clothes and other daily necessities

/kloc-It's really, really cold in New Zealand in early February! Moreover, the weather changes greatly, and the temperature difference between day and night is also large. I often ride a roller coaster. The lowest temperature is only 5 or 6 degrees at night, and it is 12 or 3 degrees if there is no sun during the day. When shooting in Lake Tekapo, the temperature was only 10 degrees, and it was still windy. My wife almost froze to death. But two days before we arrived, it was a big sun with a temperature of more than 20 degrees. So, if you really like Lu, I suggest you stay here for two more days while making your travel plans.

Look at the stars. What can you see?

When you come to New Zealand for the first time, you will find that the air quality here is very good, even in big cities. At night, if there were no cumulus clouds, the sky would still be full of stars. Looking west, you can still vaguely see the Milky Way.

If you can see the stars and the Milky Way with naked eyes, then in a professional observatory, a telescope of 20-40CM can let you see all your favorite constellations at a glance. Many astronomy enthusiasts and photographers come here every year.

New Zealand has become a star-gazing resort for three reasons:

1. Very clean air quality. There are few industrial enterprises in this country and there is almost no pollution.

2. There are no neighboring countries and no pollution sources.

How else can you play stargazing?

Many people are not satisfied with looking at the stars all over the sky, and the Milky Way is bright. How else can they play stargazing?

Shoot the milky way galaxy. As long as you have a slightly better quality micro-single or SLR and tripod, you can shoot a blockbuster with stars. I'll ask my uncle to teach you to look down later.

Shoot the nebula. This is a bit difficult. This is definitely the right solution, if you are a professional astronomical photographer and have fanaticism. A better digital back (preferably full width), a star finder and a declination meter are essential.
