1. When Bai folk houses meet Jesus-Catholic Church

The noisy ancient city of Dali is no longer the best destination for travel, but in the city On the criss-crossing chessboard-like streets, there are still a few clean places. Life is on the right and heaven is on the left. Let’s go! Come with us to see the Catholic church in a Bai building.

The church in the ancient city has carved beams and paintings inside and outside. Under the eaves are dragons flying together. The bricks and tiles are intricately carved with colorful paintings. There are brick flower hollows on the walls between the doors. The interior is painted with light ink landscapes, flowers and birds. It has the richest flavor. Bai architectural style.

The ancient city church is spacious and bright, with neat tables and chairs. The blue color of the whole house instantly puts people in a quiet and ethereal state. The stars on the roof are full of imagination. There are many Western paintings and paintings on both sides of the chapel. In Chinese landscape paintings, time has worn away the bright colors of the paintings, but the ancient stories are still passed down to this day.

No. 6, Xinmin Road, Dali Ancient City. In Dali Ancient City, turn along Fuxing Road to the east section of Renmin Road and then walk 80 meters towards Xinmin Road. You can see it Arrow sign for the cathedral.

Erhai Forest

From Cangshan Mountain to Erhai Lake, the vertical distribution of vegetation in Dali is obvious. The forests and wetlands here have become a paradise for various animals and plants. Some people say that in Dali, you can Really feel the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers.

Around the Erhai Lake, there are many trees planted to beautify the Erhai Lake. Some of them grow in the water all the time, forming unique underwater trees; some form a patchwork of trees as the seasonal precipitation changes. Another wooded area by the sea. These widely distributed, large and small woods have become our best choice for shooting. Whenever the sun is hot at noon and the temperature rises, traveling and shooting in the woods is the best choice.

Recommended shooting spots:

We recommend five woods on the Erhai Lake that are more suitable for shooting. The trees in these places are denser and suitable for in-depth exploration.

1. Shuangyuan Creek - Outside the woods is the wetland beside Erhai Lake. Vehicles need to park in the roadside parking lot.

2. Hai Tongue Park - Vehicles are currently not allowed to enter. You can only park in the parking lot outside and walk 10 minutes to enter the park, or take a horse-drawn carriage.

3. Huanhai West Road outside Taoyuan Village - the road is right next to Erhai Lake. There is a small part of woods on the roadside, some of which can be driven into.

On a sunny day, when the sun is abundant, the dancing light spots are beautifully blurred;

On a rainy day, the quiet woods are bright in color, which is another charm.

Case Town is located in the central and eastern part of Dali City, on the east coast of Erhai Lake. Surrounded by mountains on three sides, facing the sea on one side, and Shuanglang Town in the north...

The grove is located on the road from the Dasei exit to Dasei. A sightseeing pavilion has been built in that area. Use the blur of a large aperture to blend the sunlight between the leaves into a emerald green, which can be as thick as an oil painting or as elegant as water.

As for how to take pictures on the water, please see my personal demonstration. All you need is a pair of rubber shoes. If you are not dedicated, you will be handsome!

There is a secret for shooting in the woods in Huise Town. I just need to find a suitable foreground, use a large aperture to blur the background, and create a distinct depth of field. For example, in the picture above, the tender green willow leaves in the sun create a beautiful atmosphere. I, wearing red clothes, naturally become the focus of the picture! < /p>

So under natural light, various wonderful effects can appear when paired with various adjacent or contrasting colors. There are also many forests near Huanhai West Road in Taoyuan Village, Dali, and cars can drive directly into many places.

When the scene is wide open, you should use a wide-angle lens!

You can also be careful about the choice of shooting time. The closer to sunrise or sunset, the more obvious the color temperature will be. Instead of deliberately creating strong contrast in the later stage, it is better to choose the right shooting time in the early stage and get twice the result with half the effort! So how should you take photos of dark woods when there is no sunlight? In addition to using a large aperture lens, the simplest method is to open your Let’s use car lights! Using car lights to shoot backlit portraits is also a good choice!

Unexpectedly - Dali Road Film

It is 120 kilometers around the Erhai Lake. In addition to highways, national highways, There are also many rural roads and trails in the provincial highways. We often drive around and sometimes we don’t know where we are going. Every time we enter by mistake, we will make new discoveries.

There are three main roads in Dali Haixi. From Cangshan Mountain to Erhai Lake, they are divided into National Highway 214 West Scenery Line, Dali Line and Huanhai West Road. The Westview Line is a two-way four-lane road with a speed limit of 80 kilometers per hour. The road conditions are very good. The Dali Line is much narrower, and the speed limit is about 40 when passing through villages or towns. There are currently a small number of road sections under construction, and the scenery on both sides will be better than the West View Line.

The red single-lane road by the sea is Huanhai West Road. Huanhai West Road is actually very suitable for cycling. It is very difficult for cars to drive and park, but it is the road with the most scenery. , but it is not recommended to drive there within this year, because the entire route is undergoing road construction and sewage pipe repairs, many places are blocked, and the road condition is very bad. When it is repaired, it will turn into a super beautiful landscape avenue!

Dali So the most suitable place for shooting road movies in Dali is between Dali Road and Huanhai West Road.

Driving through the green fields, contracting a road is the best way for you in a congested city. There is absolutely no happiness you can feel, so self-driving in Dali is a great travel experience!

Dali is actually divided into three types of terrain from Cangshan Mountain to Erhai Lake, the foot of the mountain, the flat dam and the seaside. Local residents think that the foot of the mountain and the seaside It represents pity, while Pingba represents blessing. Therefore, on the plain to the west of Erhai Lake, Bai residents cultivated and multiplied here, forming a political and cultural center. Haixi not only has the ancient city of Dali, Huanhai West Road also connects large and small villages and towns: "Caicun Wharf, Jiangshang Village, Xizhou Ancient Town, Haiji Park, Taoyuan Village" these beautiful villages are full of ancient charm. Small towns can be seen along the way.

Cangshan Mountain has nineteen peaks and eighteen streams, one stream and one village. The snow on Cangshan Mountain turns into rainwater to nourish the earth and enrich the Erhai Lake. Outside the covered bridge, in front of the house of the Bai nationality grandmother, firecrackers explode on the green wall. Sparks, time flows slowly, and the four seasons here are like spring. Using the composition of plane dots and the combination of colors, this is the most beautiful background wall.

Following Huanhai West Road, you can enjoy the beauty of Erhai Lake at the closest distance! One of the reasons why you like Dali is the flowers in Yunnan! You can take pictures of the flowers everywhere in Dali for half an hour, no matter what Whether it’s spring, summer, autumn or winter, there’s always what you want!

Using flowers as the foreground and looking for contrasting colors is also a good way to take pictures!

The ancient banyan tree in Haitang Park

There are two large banyan trees connected together outside the Haitongue Ecological Park. I don’t know how old they are. Even the old people outside the village can’t tell. We took our guests to take wedding photos here. The meaning is as beautiful as the picture. In pairs, they last forever.

This is a wedding photo we took here for our guests. Taking these photos under the big banyan tree at night, we don’t know how many mosquitoes we have fed in Dali, but we are still very grateful to Xiaoqiang and the beautiful Chengcheng , Xiximei, after work, she still has the time to follow two crazy photographers out to mess around.

The four of us just kept waving the light sticks in our hands and played from 9 o'clock to 11 o'clock, sharing each other's stories under the banyan tree, and never tired of it!

Hidden in the city Xizhou Ancient Town

Due to travel wedding photography, we made six trips to Dali in five years, one month each time. It is truly a second hometown. This is a guest photo we took.

The first stop of every trip to Dali is always Xizhou. It does not have the bustle of the ancient city of Dali or the hustle and bustle of Shuanglang, but more of the comfort of being hidden in the city.

Hidden deep in the mountains of the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau in western China is such a simple and elegant city! It has hundreds of courtyards of the Bai people with their own characteristics in the Ming, Qing, Republic of China and contemporary periods. It has a perfect architectural structure. The planning is ingenious and reasonable, solemn and majestic yet light and agile, simple and elegant yet free and easy in texture and beauty.

Entering the ancient town from the magnificent Zhengyi Gate, you can see the renovated stage, arch bridge and thousand-year-old banyan trees. Various patterns are carefully carved on the eaves, demonstrating the ingenuity of Bai craftsmen.

The ancient stage behind Zhengyi Gate has only been renovated in recent years. The stage is not only a form in Chinese architecture, but also a display of culture. The three-sided stage has gradually been finalized since the Jin Dynasty. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, theaters were spread all over cities and villages, and the stage was like a microcosm of local people's lives.

The renovated bridge and the preserved buildings in Xizhou Square are a collision of old and new, reflecting the changes of the times.

As the birthplace of Dali Bai culture, Xizhou can clearly feel the strong cultural atmosphere everywhere. Xiaoqiang once found a "Jinshi" plaque from the Qing Dynasty in an antique shop in the ancient town. He particularly liked it. , but the price was too high and the deal failed. However, you can still find real "second-hand goods" in the antique shops here.

Xizhou Town still maintains handwritten notices and various couplets in calligraphy. If you look closely, you will find that these calligraphy are strong and natural, simple or elegant, square or round, subtle or public, reflecting The character of the writer, I found that after using a computer and mobile phone for many years without writing, my ability has seriously deteriorated, and I feel ashamed.

Following the three-dimensional network of streets and alleys, going deep into the hinterland of the ancient town, the courtyards at the end of the alleys became the nodes of our search. Xizhou Ancient Town has preserved many ancient houses that have been passed down to this day with surnames and people's names. Some of them are now Became museums, some became shops and colleges.

Most of them are still habitable. Please pay to visit has become everyone’s default rule. I understand this very well. Every day, batches of curious babies keep running into other people’s houses and looking here and there. It is really disturbing. Life.

Most of the Bai folk houses have a closed appearance as shown in the picture.

This kind of corridor-style residence originated from the Qin and Han Dynasties. It evolved through the Sui and Tang Dynasties and became a fixed style in the Song Dynasty. Live with your own "security guard". The back room is the courtyard where the owner lives.

Generally divided into styles such as "three squares and one screen wall", "four in five patios", "one into two courtyards", "one into four courtyards".

Flowers are planted in the courtyard of almost every house. They are well-proportioned and colorful, echoing what Mr. Lao She wrote: "There are joys and sorrows, laughter and tears, flowers and fruits, and flowers and fruits." Fragrance has color, it requires both labor and knowledge.”

The best way to communicate with the landlord is to take the initiative to pay and, with the owner's consent, sit down and chat with them. You must understand the rules.

No matter whether it is old or new, good or bad, home is the world in all directions in the hearts of Chinese people.

In addition to the stage, there are many iconic buildings in Xizhou Ancient Town, such as this arc-shaped rounded corner building at a crossroads in the east of the ancient town. According to locals, this building once served as a military base for the People's Liberation Army. Used as a hospital, it has now become a landmark and a holy place for photography. It is like a symbol of the times, a close link between modernity and the past, and a transportation and life center for locals.

Xixiu Fang is a handmade textile store where you can experience the fun of textiles, learn about textile technology and craftsmanship, and purchase finished products.

Among the landmark buildings in Xizhou, my favorite is the yellow exterior wall of Xilin Garden, which is especially suitable for taking pictures. This mansion is called Yangjiayuan (originally owned by Mr. Yang Pinxiang of the famous Xizhou Business Gang). The Mansion) is now the only five-star hotel in Xizhou Ancient Town. It was founded by Mr. and Mrs. Linden from the United States. The couple traveled in Asia for more than 20 years and finally chose Xizhou, which shows the great charm of this place. Xizhou Photography Guide

It’s not exciting to talk about history and customs, so go back to the time of shooting that you love to hear and see, knock on the blackboard! Check the key points! First, let’s share how to photograph Xizhou’s architecture!

< p>Equipment: Nikon 750 and 800 lenses 50 and 14-24. We don’t sell cameras or study parameters. The focus of photography is always the eyes and brain behind the viewfinder, so we focus on ideas.

I like to shoot with a wide angle, not only because its impact effect covers more content, but the key is that when I first started taking photos, I only had a wide angle, haha! So when you are familiar with using a lens, it is very smoothly.

We are not landscape lovers, nor do we like pure architectural photography. Xiaoqiang and I both like to photograph the combination of people and scenery during travel, and we hope that the content of a picture is rich enough. So when I find a suitable shooting scene, waiting is essential.

Unlike Xiaoqiang, who has the ability to quickly detect the instant movement of the scene and shoot, what I have always followed when sweeping the streets is to wait patiently and slow down.

When you find a good picture, squat down, wait for the right person to enter the picture at the right time, and then snap into it!

Not everyone likes to take pictures. Celebrities are also forced to snap shots in the face of strangers with guns and cannons, so either ask for the consent of the subject, or adjust the exposure by focusing in advance, put down the camera first, and wait for the character to walk into the scene you set. area, and then pick up the camera to take continuous shots. This method has been tried and true because people will not avoid you because you keep holding the camera, and you can also catch passers-by in a very natural state.

Of course, the purpose of the continuous shooting mode is to flash a few pictures in a row and put them down quickly! Respecting the subject is the main premise. In addition to the scene selection, the choice of shooting focus also needs to consider the combination of light and shadow. I like to shoot two hours after sunrise and two hours before sunset. The sun is slanting, the angle is good, the color temperature is beautiful, and the light intensity is not as high as at noon. It’s hard to say that it’s the best time to take pictures of people and scenery.

To summarize some of our shooting tips, you can try them if you like:

1. Use a small aperture to shoot, about F11-16, the smaller the aperture to shoot the sun. The starburst formed becomes more obvious.

2. Place the sun’s position on the edge of the building, so that it happens to appear. In this case, the starlight will become the finishing touch of the picture.

3. Look for pictures with obvious contrast between light and shadow, wait for the characters to appear or arrange for the characters to be photographed in areas receiving light.

4. Oblique light can highlight the texture of the building, so taking pictures of old stone roads and potholed walls can emphasize the texture very well. (The effect of shooting with aperture 3.5)

(The effect of shooting with aperture 16)

In addition to light, it can also be processed through the relationship between the extension of the street, the vanishing point, the perspective of the building, etc. Pictures, so just watch more, shoot more, and explore more! A student who purely teaches photography by himself will no longer be a master of the art. If you look at the works of those masters, you will naturally be inspired.

Next, let’s talk about the travel portraits that we are good at! We can’t afford professional models, so the photographers went to work with their children and demonstrated in person how to take eye-catching and never-repetitive travel photos of ancient towns! Hi No. 1 in Asia: Character Settings

Normal couple shooting simply cannot satisfy us who are full of dualistic thinking. Add to this the perfect combination of Aries and Scorpio, who bicker every day. After a month of quarreling, we finally got together. A certain treasure ordered this set of cotton and linen clothing for less than 200 yuan. When I got it, it was two crumpled pieces of rags. Someone asked me: "Sister, what is your creative inspiration?"

If I talk about the major anti-Japanese dramas, will you laugh at me? Hahaha

In fact, after watching "The Donkey Gets Water", I particularly like the drama-like performance form, and we are also deeply involved in the drama. , a model who doesn’t know how to take photos is not a good driver. Dressed like this while walking in the ancient town, it looks very cool. She is just a collector of eyes. Everyone whispers, these two are a bit ridiculous!

Xizhou Second : Various poses

Many friends ask us, what should I do if I don’t know how to pose? My friend, life is like a drama, it all depends on acting! Relax and be thick-skinned, no one knows you even if you are far away from me. you.

How happy it is for professional "part-timers" like us in Xizhou to pick up two fire bricks on the road and play for a while.

"Crooked?! Yaoyao Ling! There is a psycho here, come and deal with it!"

The six doors next to the round corner building are the filming spots for Internet celebrities. After seeing a hundred postures, I asked Xiaoqiang, how did you break it!

I saw him silently, lifting up a corner of the linen "pocket", tilting his buttocks back slightly, striding forward with his hands, With one move, he roared: Fuck!

A fart sound... What else can I do at this moment, just cooperate awkwardly! You! Win!

Third: Shooting method

Same as shooting architecture, choose the scene, use a tripod to set up the camera, compose the focus and adjust the exposure, use a remote shutter or timer shooting, and the model can stand in a good position and give full play to it.

Fourth: Scene Selection

This is particularly important. Iconic shooting spots can make photos highly recognizable. We have always believed that travel photography is about finding the most interesting places in the local area. The unique elements, for those friends who take pictures of big heads with unparalleled blur, you can take pictures in your own garden downstairs, so why drive out to wander around. I really can’t love the yellow wall of Xilin Garden any more. There are a hundred different postures, and every one of them is touching!

The yellow wall in the streets of the ancient town is also loved by everyone, long live the color!

An old-fashioned 28-inch bicycle leaning against the door has also transformed into the best shooting prop.

Interacting with tie-dye cloth is also very Yunnan style!

Fifth: Integrate into the local area

The picture below is my favorite, a passerby child That glance back made the whole picture come alive instantly!

What do you think? In order to take this picture, we also sacrificed countless shutters. Waiting will always give the best reward to those who are patient. .

Sixth: Add storytelling

Those who like to watch movies will definitely not lack pictures in their minds, so Xiaoqiang finally fulfilled his dream of being a landlord!

< p>And I unfortunately became a maid in the landowner's house. The working people are the most glorious!

During the garlic harvest season, the fields were filled with busy grannies, and an annoying figure made no sound. floated into the fields, checking everyone's work status with their hands folded.

As for me, such a positive female man, I will definitely help! But I can’t lift this seventy or eighty kilogram bag of garlic!!!

From many years of experience in taking travel photos for newcomers, the best way to shoot during travel is to have fun!

It is especially important to find a teammate who is happy, haha! So if you have the opportunity to travel with us, !

Huanhai West Road near Taoyuan Village

It is adjacent to Erhai Lake on one side and rice fields on the other. This road is also a holy place for photography.

When you don’t want to drive, rent a small battery car here. It will definitely give you the feeling of seeing an idol drama! Even the rice fields on the roadside can be photographed beautifully!

Huanhai West Road is suitable for watching the sunrise, and Huanhai East Road is suitable for watching sunset. The light 2 hours before the sun sets every day is the golden time for shooting. Just stay in the inn at noon and be in a daze! Compared with Huanhai Road, There are many vehicles on Dali Road, making it inconvenient to park. However, in some relatively wide sections, cars can park on the side of the road without affecting traffic. Filming of highway blockbusters has begun!

Near Taoyuan Village Dali Road

The neat and uniform road pillars, the blue sky and white clouds as the background, paired with your own sexy car, decorated with colorful balloons, perfect!

Before the sun sets, drive to On the other side of Xizhou, go to Haidong's Huanhai West Road, park your car on the section of road closest to Erhai Lake, and watch the sun turn into the clouds, and the afterglow fills the earth.

That piece of sea is alluring with sunshine - A story about Erhai Lake

You were once happy and melancholy under the clear blue sky; you were also carefree but sad in the green fields; you were looking towards the distance Running, and looking back; I am at the end of the road, quietly waiting for that pure time.

My favorite Erhai Lake is not a completely sunny day, nor a cloudy day without sunshine. It should be a day with light and clouds. Even if it rains occasionally, maybe you will see a rainbow after the rain!

p>

If you want to get in close contact with Erhai Lake, there are platforms extending into the water near Xiaoputuo, Hewei Village, and Haiji Park. The red lines on the map mark the Ring Road near the sea, and Luwo Mountain starts from The best location to overlook Erhai Lake from a high altitude.

Locals say that when summer comes, many people will swim in the Erhai Lake from various water platforms and bid farewell to the sunshine on the waves at sunset, layer after layer, like a reluctant kiss.

Treading on the water platform near Hewei Village in summer is a great experience!

On the shore of Erhai Lake in early summer, cows leisurely basked in the sun and ate grass. The moist meadows are filled with wild flowers.

When winter comes, standing by the water platform you can feed the migratory birds flying from the south, which are the winter seagulls near Xiao Putuo.

The largest water platform in Dali is next to Xiao Putuo. It is a good place to take pictures of Erhai Lake. In the morning, with good light, you can take pictures of the blue sky and blue lake behind you.

There is backlight here in Xiaoputuo in the afternoon, and occasionally you can see the Tyndall phenomenon caused by sunlight filtering through the clouds.

You need to pay attention to a few points when shooting with backlight:

First: fill light on the face. Appropriate fill light will make the subject stand out and have details.

Second: The background exposure is accurate. In order to retain the details of the clouds, you can darken the image by 1.2 stops in M ??mode, shoot in RAW format, and use PS to pull down the shadows and suppress the highlights in the later stage.

There are many places to visit and take pictures along the Erhai Lake, such as the shipyard during the fishing ban period. Fishing boats are piled on the hillside next to the road, making it a good place to take pictures.

The colorful Luwo Mountain cliff is currently the best perspective for shooting people and scenes at the high point of Erhai Lake. The faulty cliff suddenly disappears when it reaches the Erhai Lake. The edge of the cliff about ten meters high is overgrown with weeds. The broken bowls of incense paper on the ground were left by the worshipers.

Sitting here, you can easily take in the entire Erhai Lake.

I once recorded a proposal here without warning. The male protagonist slowly knelt down and nervously took out the ring that had been on his chest for many days. His hands were trembling, and beads of sweat fell as he said the sentence. "Marry me!"

The ring that was still warm was slowly put on the heroine's ring finger. I was holding the camera and cheered in my heart. What a wonderful love. !

After sunset, the gorgeous afterglow climbs into the clouds. In Dali, a holy land for young people, countless laughter and tears about love are left every day; here, countless encounters and partings happen every day.

Watching the sunset in Xiao Putuo is also a good choice

In the dead of night, the quiet night sky of Xiao Putuo and the sea surface shine with sparkling light. We are all passers-by. Only the beauty of Erhai Lake continues.
