Photographing skills of Chaka Salt Lake How to take beautiful mirror photos in Chaka Salt Lake

There is a group of mirror photos of the lake that burst into a circle of friends. The photo takes a wonderful mirror image of the calm lake. He is China's "land of the sky"-Chaka Salt Lake. For a time, many domestic tourists yearned for it and gradually became a place of online celebrities. However, not everyone can take a good look in the mirror. Take these strategies and let Bian Xiao tell you!

Why do you have to go to Chaka Salt Lake to shoot the mirror of the sky? 1, because Chaka Salt Lake is large.

105 square kilometers. The area is large enough to ensure the composition space and reflection angle. The water on the road surface can also reflect the sky after the rain, but it is too small to have any effect.

2. Because Chaka Salt Lake is bright.

Brightness does not mean ambient light, because the mirror effect can also appear at night. Taking pictures is the art of light and shadow. Only enough light can form a reflection with enough contrast. Chaka Salt Lake, located on the plateau, has thin air and many sunny days, so the light is naturally "strong".

3, because Chaka Salt Lake is shallow.

Qinghai Lake is bigger, with stronger light and shadow effects, but it is too deep. If you stand in the lake and fall in, who should we shoot?

4. Because the lake is flat enough

Take Qinghai Lake as an example. The weather is bad, the wind and waves are heavy, and man in the mirror naturally cannot appear. The water surface of Chaka Salt Lake is flat even in windy weather. Because after salt deposition in the salt lake, a plane with small height difference can be formed within the reach of human eyes, and the height difference between two points is several millimeters away from the salt lake.

5, because there is water in Chaka Salt Lake.

This is not nonsense, many salt lakes have no water, and salt lakes without water are just a piece of white land. By the way, Chaka Salt Lake has the largest water volume from July to September.

How to shoot the reflection of Chaka Salt Lake?

1. In order to capture the reflection effect, use a wide-angle lens;

2. Chaka Salt Lake is recommended to carry a reducing mirror or polarizer because of the refraction of light (due to the high reflectivity of the water surface, it is recommended to use a polarizer to control reflection when shooting to emphasize the color of lake water or blue sky) to avoid overexposure of photos;

3. Want to take a reflection is not only photography, but also personality, so be sure to check the weather forecast and accumulate personality before going to the tea card and praying that the weather will not change suddenly. Of course, it is not only sunny, but also windless, preferably a little breeze. If the wind is too strong, the lake will completely ripple.

4. The best shooting time is 10 am and around 4 pm, when the light is not too hard and easy to reflect;

5. Don't move around often when shooting, and keep the water calm. Too much walking will make the lake turbid.

How to take a portrait?

1. After shooting a still portrait, be sure to wait for the water surface to calm down before shooting, and pay attention to the clean background, and don't shoot the person behind the subject;

2. Try to move as much as possible when shooting dynamic portraits. The premise is that you stand on the lake first, and when the level of the lake calms down, you suddenly rush to the photographer to capture and shoot the beauty of moving and quietness;

This kind of wide-angle lens for photography looks more beautiful. If you shoot with a flat-focus lens, the distance between the camera and the subject will be further narrowed;

4. It will be more natural to take photos on the rails of Chaka Salt Lake, and the subject should try not to look at the camera;

5. It is basically consistent with the photography method on the railway track, and pay attention to the proportion of salt lake and sleeper in the composition;

6. Girls can wear all kinds of elegant skirts. If you are not a red control, it is recommended to give up the high saturation big red, because when you enter the scenic spot, you will find red girls everywhere, white, blue, black and even low saturation. Color is a good choice, as long as it can float with the wind, you can take super beautiful photos;

7. Girls with marriage complex can buy a wedding dress with a price of more than 100 yuan on a treasure. If it is sprinkled with salt, it can be thrown away directly;

8. shawls are also very practical equipment. Chaka Salt Lake is located in the plateau, with strong ultraviolet rays and changeable weather. The shawl is an artifact that can effectively prevent sun and keep warm while posing.

9. Don't forget sunglasses. The lake water in Chaka Salt Lake will also reflect ultraviolet rays for a long time, which is very harmful to the eyes.

How to shoot the starry sky?

1. Summer is the best season to shoot the starry sky in Chaka Salt Lake. At this time, the sky is transparent and the Milky Way is the brightest.

2. Select manual focusing to focus to infinity. Weak starlight can't focus automatically ~

3. Set the ISO sensitivity to about 1600-3200, and adjust the aperture to the maximum value of the lens.

4. Because of the autobiography of the earth, a long shutter time will lead to the displacement of the stars, so the shutter time is 20-25 seconds.

5. At night, the light is very dark, so the optical viewfinder is hardly used, and it can only be used in blind shot, and it needs to be adjusted several times.

6. Old drivers also shared an advanced shooting skill. Friends can take a large number of photos through the time delay function, and then superimpose all the photos to get a complete photo of the star orbit. Of course, they can also convert the original film into video, and they can get amazing dynamic video of the movement of the stars.

Shooting description 1, the weather is good or bad.

Especially for people who are not very good at photography, the weather is the decisive factor in taking a photo. Therefore, before coming to the tea card, check the weather with various weather apps before planning the trip. As a reminder, the search for "Chaka Salt Lake" can't be found. We should search for Wulan County, the administrative seat of Chaka Salt Lake.

2. Standing posture

The weather in the photo is good. From the sky seen in the photo, you can imagine the scenery of the day-white clouds are floating in the blue sky, and the bright sunshine is projected on the lake through the white clouds inlaid with gold wires. But such a beautiful scenery should be behind the hero in the photo. So the photographer and the subject are in the wrong position.

3, telephoto lens

Shooting a picture of jumping on the lake must be light and smart, and the performance must be light and smart. First, the picture should be wide, and second, the characters should be far away. So wide-angle, medium-focus and portrait lenses are useless here. The photographer should be far enough away from the subject, take a picture with a telephoto lens and make a composition.

4. Airplane seats

In Chaka Salt Lake, seats like the one above are very common. And this posture is wrong for shooting the mirror of the sky.

Why is this seat wrong?

It's simple. When I go to Chaka Salt Lake, I don't want to shoot you flying like a bird, but I want to shoot a mirror. The larger the incident angle, the higher the reflectivity. When the incident angle is greater than 70 degrees, the reflectivity rises sharply.

So, the correct seat should be like this:

5, clothing and collocation

Red, white, blue, black and even low saturation colors are good choices. As long as it is a long skirt that can float with the wind, it can take super beautiful photos. Color is the foundation, elegance is the key.

Although the red dresses worn by the beautiful women in the photo meet the standard of photo dressing, there are too many. When you arrive at the tea card scenic spot, all the red beauties can't reflect your unique beauty.

Besides, there is nothing wrong with matching the red yarn in the photo, except that there is no wind. The yarn is characterized by lightness, which can only be reflected by flying, otherwise it can only show the "width" of the back of the main body, which is a complete failure.

6. Theme

When taking pictures of your sister, you must show the exquisiteness of the female body and pursue the beauty of curves. It is recommended to take a sideways photo. If you must take a back shot, such as this photo, you must pay attention to the thin waist of your skirt. (In fact, if you take off the red yarn in the photo, you can imagine that the beautiful woman has a good figure. ).
