Where is suitable for taking pictures in Tibet? What equipment do I need to take to take photos in Tibet?

The scenic spots in Tibet are beautiful, but we always have to find a place suitable for taking pictures. Today, Bian Xiao will tell you the places suitable for taking pictures, and add some equipment that you should prepare when taking pictures.

: where to take pictures

1. Namco

Transportation: Lhasa to Namtso is about 222 kilometers. There is only a shuttle bus to Dangxiong in Lhasa, but there is no direct bus to Namtso. You can choose to charter a car in Lhasa or carpool with a group to Namtso.

Location: If you want to shoot the starry sky, you have to spend the night in Namco. You can enjoy the beautiful starry sky in Namtso, Zhaxi Peninsula next to Namtso. There are many places to stay in Tashi Peninsula, but the facilities are relatively simple. You can enjoy stargazing about 5 kilometers walk from the hotel, but please pay attention to cold and warmth. Venus and Jupiter, dazzling on the western skyline, have been getting farther and farther apart since July of 1 year. Looking eastward, the Milky Way gradually emerged in the twilight, and the huge S-shape of Scorpio just appeared over the lake. From September to 10 every year, the galactic center can be seen over Namtso and Nyainqentanglha Mountain. In addition, Namco is not only an excellent place to shoot the starry sky, but also an excellent place to shoot sunsets and sunrises.

2. Everest Base Camp

Transportation: It is impossible to get to Everest Base Camp directly from Lhasa. You need to take a bus from Lhasa to Shigatse to the scheduled date, and then find someone to carpool to Rongbu Temple on the scheduled date. After arriving at Rongbu Temple, you need to transfer to an eco-car to reach Everest Base Camp.

Location: One of the places where you can spend the night near Everest Base Camp is Rongbu Temple, with 30~45 yuan beds per person. It is convenient to watch the starry sky and sunrise here. In addition, I live in a tent in the Everest base camp. The tent is a shop for 6-8 people, which is more suitable for shooting stars. The Rongbu Temple on the north slope of Mount Qomolangma is an excellent shooting location, but you can only enjoy the starry sky on the south side. Watching the stars wandering all over the sky on Mount Qomolangma seems to be within reach, washing silently. April to May is the best time to shoot the starry sky of Mount Everest every year. After midnight, you can see the Milky Way rising from Mount Everest. Because of the different surface temperatures, stars emit different colors of light. The temperature is high and the stars are blue; The temperature is low and the stars are red.

3. Ren Gang, Qi Bo and Mabang Yongcuo in Ali area.

Transportation: Gang Renboqi and Ma Bangyongcuo are located in Pulan County, Ali District, western Tibet, which is relatively remote. It's about 1600 km one-way to Rinpoche, Lhasa, and it takes at least three days to drive from the southern line of Ali. It's inconvenient to go there. It is recommended to charter or carpool.

Shooting location: There is a temple on the pilgrimage route of Gangrenboqi to provide simple meals and accommodation, or shooting the starry sky based on the starting mountain antelope (4560 meters above sea level) at the foot of the south mountain of Gangrenboqi Fengqi.

1. The plateau is sunny and the illumination is high. General 100 degree medium speed film is enough.

2. The ultraviolet rays on the plateau are very strong. If you want to make the vision in photos clearer and avoid blue-purple photos, you'd better equip your lens with an ultraviolet filter (UV mirror).

Beware of sandstorms, especially in cold and dry seasons and in the morning and evening. Sand is almost everywhere, getting into the gap between your camera and lens. Always use the best dust-proof camera bag or box.

It is best to shoot the plateau scenery in the morning and evening. In the early morning and evening in Tibet, the light is flat and transparent, and the modeling effect and color effect produced by low-angle sunlight will make the picture more attractive.

5. Put the camera battery in the close-fitting shirt pocket and keep it warm at low temperature. If you can't press the shutter, it may be a solution to warm the camera with clothes before taking pictures.

Necessary items

1, 20L or smaller backpack.

Please be sure to carry the system comfortably, because it will stick to your shoulders and back for a long time. The capacity of 20L is enough to hold what you need for a day's activities. I usually use Archaeopteryx's 18L waterproof lightweight backpack, and I have installed at most: sunglasses, coats, fleece coats, octopus tripods, SLR, fixed-focus lenses, small digital cameras, and large charging tr.

Everything in the backpack above is a must! In the summer of 20 14, there was more rain in Lhasa than in previous years. After a night of heavy rain, it cleared up after 9 o'clock. After 1 1, the weather is getting hotter and hotter (it is not cool to wear short sleeves in summer). It is the hottest at 2-3 pm, and it begins to rain at 4-5 pm. The temperature has dropped obviously, so you must take your sweater. If you want to visit Princess Wencheng in Xiajiao Forest, you can even pay attention to it. So you need to bring a carry-on bag of about 20L.

2. Waterproof coat or soft shell

N multifunctional outdoor clothes are the most commonly used and the best to use. Whether it is raining, snowing, windy or cold weather, jackets will protect us well. Hard-shell coats have the best protective effect, but better soft coats are also good. Most soft coats are more slim. I think many friends look bloated in untidy coats. In fact, they can buy a soft jacket.

3. Sunglasses: It is best to wear comfortable and tall sunglasses! 4. sunshade

Ultraviolet rays in Tibet are very strong. Not only should you use sunglasses to protect your eyes, but you should also use a hat to keep out the sun, which can keep out the rain when it rains. You can buy hats in Lhasa, or you can find your people in the shops of Baku shopping center. 100 yuan (20 14 price) can buy a nice cowhide hat. They are not only practical and beautiful, but also can be taken home as souvenirs.

5. Long-sleeved T-shirt or long-sleeved shirt (usually worn)

It's best to buy an outdoor T-shirt that can block ultraviolet rays. A T-shirt with good elasticity can not only be comfortable to wear, but also protect the skin from the sun. When it rains, it can also be used as an intermediate insulation layer.

6. Grab the cashmere sweater.

Bring a light and warm sweater. Decathlon or domestic brands will do. I prefer TNF's scratch sweater, which is light and warm!

7.octopus tripod

Photography artifact, this thing is very practical, but not very easy to use. The main reason for the belt is that it is light and can be taken out at any time. The specific advantages and disadvantages will be explained in the photography section of this post.

8. SLR camera or micro camera

Travel necessities, lenses and other items in the bag should be put together in one bag to prevent moisture and dust. As a backup machine, a small digital camera can also be replaced by a mobile phone. Remember to download those useful filter apps in advance!

9. Large-capacity charging treasure

No explanation! This is absolutely necessary, absolutely necessary!

10. Insulating water cup

The size depends on individual circumstances. If you can drink a lot of water, it is recommended to bring the size of1L. In most cases, it is enough for a person to bring a 500ML water cup. Everyone knows to drink more water after going to the plateau. In fact, we think you should drink more hot water and tea and reduce cold water as much as possible. Because your body needs it more, you are obviously more comfortable after drinking hot water and tea. Besides, Sichuan restaurants are everywhere in Tibet. If you can't stand eating spicy food or curry three times a day, like me, you have to bring an insulated kettle. Chefs or walruses are all very good. You should buy one with a lid, which can be used as a drinking cup, so that drinking hot water after meals can help digestion. Friends who don't think it is necessary to bring an insulated kettle suggest buying an outdoor metal kettle. The bottle mouth is tight, it won't leak, and the thief pulls it reliably! Sometimes the cup is put in the bag, and once it leaks, other things in the bag will suffer.

1. hat

I want to buy something beautiful, light and radiation-proof, one is sun protection, and the other is to enhance my strength.

12, 10 cent change

It's for the temple, but nothing can change in the temple. Bundles of 10 and 50 cent banknotes in the temple are used for this purpose. Just communicate directly, don't be embarrassed.

13. High calorie food

In Tibet, the roof of the world, walking at ordinary times is equivalent to carrying loads in the mainland, and energy consumption is very fast. It is best to bring chocolate, Snickers or dried yak meat to replenish energy at any time. Other sharp tools to help you revive with blood are butter tea, glucose water, American ginseng buccal tablets, and the first drink of Red Bull in Tibet. )。

14. Other clothes

Thin down jacket: Uniqlo's thin down jacket is particularly practical and inexpensive, and outdoor brands are better.

Sweating underwear: it is best not to bring thermal underwear. Cotton thermal underwear is tightly wrapped around the body after sweating, which is not easy to dry, especially those with velvet inside.

Wear comfortable sneakers or outdoor cross-country running shoes (cross-country running shoes are recommended). If you plan to go to Ali, or if there is a hiking part in your itinerary, you must buy high-top waterproof hiking shoes.

Fleece sleeping bag: especially practical. If the hotel quilt is wet, dirty or not warm enough, you will be especially grateful to bring a wool sleeping bag.

medicine

Prepare a small medicine bag separately and buy enough medicine for your special needs. Other commonly used drugs can also be bought in Lhasa, such as indomethacin or Gao Yuan 'an when you have a splitting headache. So you don't need to refer to other people's advice on drugs, just decide for yourself. I only recommend one thing: multivitamins, one tablet a day is so useful.

16. Sunscreen and skin care products

Buy it yourself in advance, and it must be commonly used.

17. Others-please ask the supermarket to solve the problem.

Most daily necessities can be bought in Lhasa. After the opening of the Qinghai-Tibet Railway, there are more and more supermarkets in Lhasa, and the goods are extremely rich. It doesn't matter if you find that you didn't bring n kinds of things when you left. Almost all of them can be bought in Lhasa.

Equipment preparation is a very scientific and complicated part, and it is difficult to say it all at once. My suggestion is that friends must adjust their articles according to the specific routes and seasons. There is no omnipotent equipment, only smart preparation. For example, when I went to Tibet for the first time in summer, Linzhi's route was very simple, and the above was enough, or even more. In early autumn, you must prepare a sleeping bag with a comfortable temperature of zero and a thick down jacket.
