I want to take some photos in Tibet. Is there anything I should pay attention to?

Tibet has world-class unique natural beauty and cultural landscape, which is a paradise for tourists and also a paradise for full-time and amateur photographers. As far as the photography skills of professional creators are concerned, Bian Xiao dare not take the liberty to teach others to teach an axe, but in the special environment of Tibet, he wants to share his career-related common sense and life experience with you. It is the purpose of pure tourism, and it is also to leave good memories. Tibet's beautiful scenery, rich and peculiar customs, if you don't know enough about it before you leave, you will regret it if you don't prepare much. Even if you have a camera at home, no one reminds you and no precious images are left to commemorate it.

For professionals and quasi-professionals, it is particularly important to have a broad understanding of Tibet before going: only with a deep understanding of Tibet will your works have a deeper and broader significance, and their gains will naturally be qualitatively different. Especially in the capture of humanities, the breadth of series of works and the depth of special topics will reach our satisfaction, rather than the superficial mechanical record. . Because Tibet's unparalleled beauty and unique customs will greatly exceed your expectations. The same is true for batteries. The low temperature in Tibet will greatly increase the consumption of batteries. Bring the best blowing balloons and enough lens paper. Due to the sandstorm in Tibet, maintenance is much more diligent than that in the mainland. If you don't use the camera for a long time, you'd better put it in your backpack.

Tibet is sunny and the outdoor temperature is high during the day. Be careful not to expose the camera to the sun. In that case, the camera will be very hot when you find it. People who have no local life experience will ignore this.

Loading on the plateau is a very nerve-racking thing, so the first consideration is to streamline your equipment as much as possible. Pure commemorative photos, stupid cameras are enough. A little higher, 135 camera, 70~200 telephoto lens, a wide-angle lens, is already a good "armed". For enthusiasts, it is best to bring a wide-angle lens to the plateau and try to be wide-angle. The wide-angle lens has a very good expressive force for the beautiful plateau scenery. If you don't drive or rent a car, the standard of creative purpose is very high. As long as you don't take pictures of low illumination and temples and indoor scenery, tripods can be included in the selection range, depending on your physical condition and itinerary.

The preparation of the camera bag depends on the weight of the equipment. If it is heavy, you'd better buy a backpack. Tibet has strong ultraviolet rays, so be prepared for I; Mirrors make the sky bluer and the scenery more beautiful. Polarizers and gradient mirrors can also be considered.

Digital cameras are mostly used now. But I remind my friends, don't use the low-grade digital cameras in the past, and don't use the camera phones introduced by mobile phone manufacturers for commercial gimmicks, otherwise it will ruin your precious trip to Tibet. If you want to use it, you have to use a mature camera with more than 5 million effective pixels. Now this kind of camera can be owned for 2000 yuan. If possible, it is best to bring a mobile hard disk. Only in this way can you ensure that you can ask questions at will and make a hearty shot. Friends who like to use digital cameras should not play with aging cameras that have been purchased for a long time or use cameras with poor imaging effects. Otherwise, it will ruin the original high-spirited trip to Shangyuan.

The sunshine in Tibet is too strong. When the subject (character) is indoors, the light must be dark and the background (window, etc.). ) It's very bright. Automatic exposure photography can easily lead to underexposure. Taking photos (using automatic files) can easily make people turn black, which is the most common mistake in photography and video shooting in Tibet. So, in this case, photography is based on automatic exposure value. Add 2-4 files. It's best to use the manual gear for the camera, but you need to know the standard brightness of the display screen (or camera) to ensure the accurate exposure of the manual gear.

Individuals specialize in filming celestial burial and kowtowing. Some people take China culture as the background to measure and judge this phenomenon. Such behavior can easily arouse the resistance and disgust of Tibetans. The relevant departments of the autonomous region have repeatedly stated that it is forbidden to watch and film celestial burial. Let people with this idea get drunk here, and don't risk their safety. Before you are ready to lift the camera, be sure to measure whether the 1 subject has good enough communication. Will it offend them? For just people, the vast majority are unwilling to be photographed. So don't force it. It's not in a mountainous area with extremely closed and outdated ideas. As long as you give them a friendly and respectful smile, they will hardly refuse your photo. Smile at them in a friendly way, which is very important in Tibet, whether it is a tourist photo or a creative photo. Will bring you unexpected gains. When someone asks for a reward, it is not certain that he is a distant pilgrim who needs charity. It doesn't hurt to help with kindness.

In fact, there are many things worth taking pictures in the temple. Those who don't charge can do whatever they want. There are usually fees in temples, and the amount of fees depends on the status and reputation of the temple and the scenery you take. There are two issues that you need to weigh, … your financial affordability, and whether the film understands its meaning and is of great value to you. The gods expressed in murals, Tang films and statues are vast and difficult to understand. In front of Buddhist temples and murals, faced with strange statues and overwhelming painting idols, everyone, whether photographers or ordinary tourists, will feel puzzled and depressed for themselves. In order to relieve your depression, I recommend the book "The Dome of Tibet", which is sold in various bookstores and newsstands in Lhasa. If you read it carefully, it can help you understand these problems: make your trip to Tibet more meaningful and rewarding, and make your photography more creative. If the fee is not very high and you are interested in the scenery, I suggest you take a picture. After all, it is not easy to go to Tibet.
