How to take aerial photos without people in a crowded scenic spot?

I give four solutions to this problem. I believe there will always be one that suits you.

1. Shooting timing

This is easy to understand, that is, stagger the peak period of tourism, and it is best to choose a time of the day when the scenic spot has just started to open or is about to close. For example, the photo below was taken when the scenic spot was about to close.

2. Shooting angle

This is the simplest way. Generally, using an upward shooting angle can avoid shooting a large number of tourists.

3. Viewing range

I took the above photo just in time for a couple to take wedding photos in Heshun Ancient City. The scene at that time was very chaotic, with many tourists and local residents.

I took the photo with an iPhone 8 with a 65mm external lens. By narrowing down the viewing area and using the nearby gate as the background, the picture becomes simpler.

4. Photography skills

This is relatively complicated, such as the photo below

This is the best location for tourists to take photos of this trip , there are always a lot of tourists in the picture. I used slow shutter software to take the pictures, and the exposure time was as long as 25 seconds.

Some Android phones, such as Huawei, Nubia and other brands, have slow-motion shooting functions. Of course, you need the support of a tripod to achieve such an effect.

By shooting with slow shutter speed, the moving tourists in the picture can be blurred, so that a clean scenery can be obtained.

There are three methods:

First, be the first to arrive at the scenic spot, and quickly take two pictures before leaving when no one is around. Of course, this is more difficult to do. If you are interested, You can give it a try

Secondly, if you have a SLR camera, you can add a light filter in front of the lens and shoot with a slow shutter speed to blur the flow of people in the shot. This method is more realistic.

Third, use PS post-processing. If there are not many people, you can cut them out directly. If there are many people, you can take hundreds of pictures of them from the same camera position, and then use the PS stack to process them. , the effect is great, but it is more time-consuming

I only know these three, welcome to add, see how to take pictures of the Forbidden City, it feels like my home

Photography requires quick eyesight and quick hands. Sensitive feelers. You are looking for an open space, and finding an angle is the instinct of photography. Technically, you can take an upward shot to combine the landscape behind with the people in front and filter out the surrounding tourists. You can also signal to nearby tourists. Everyone shows humility to each other during the journey. Also, is it possible to travel at a wrong time? Why do you have to squeeze oil when it’s crowded?

Teach you the simplest way

Stay until the Forbidden City closes and then take pictures, about half an hour before closing. There are not many tourists in some places. This time is The best.

Secondly, when leaving the Forbidden City after closing, be sure not to follow the crowd out of the back door and walk backwards. Tai Chi Hall, this kind of hall is basically empty, so seize the time to take a few pictures, and then You can also take pictures of the White Bridge when you first enter the Forbidden City. Against the backdrop of the setting sun, your background is extremely beautiful and you basically don’t need to retouch the picture.

Hello. You need to use interval shooting. Set up the tripod and set the interval parameters. A photo of about 10-30 seconds will be enough. Take 5-10 minutes. The specific parameters will depend on the actual situation. If tourists stay for a long time, set the time longer. If the tourists are passing by without stopping, you can Setup time is shorter. Finally, the empty scene can be obtained through the post-stack. The principle is to use multiple photos to eliminate moving objects through stacking, leaving only the non-moving scene.

Shoot the sky, there is no one in the sky!

I have never taken any photos myself, but I have heard of the method: using ND filter and long exposure.

The first method is to wait for no one to shoot

The second method, the key point! The point! The point! Select the camera position, fix the camera position, adjust the camera shutter to the lowest limit under the conditions, and take n pictures until you think it is enough to synthesize a clean photo, and then use Photoshop to synthesize it later. If there are any flaws, just Photoshop it.

The third method is to buy a light reducing filter, control the speed to 30 seconds or more, and repeat the second method. complete!

Look, there is no one in the Forbidden City!

Just use a selfie stick, preferably an extended version.
