tourism photography competition

Both photography and travel had their own unique meanings and were intertwined. In terms of photography, it was the art of capturing the world with a lens. It was a visual art form. Through the use of lenses and light and shadow, it could capture and record moments in life, such as beautiful scenery, touching scenes, or people's subtle emotional expressions. It could also convey the photographer's perspective, emotions, and thoughts to the audience. Photographs allow us to discover extraordinary beauty from ordinary life, record fleeting moments, and help us preserve memories forever. Shooting in the present allows us to focus on the present, instead of dwelling on the past or worrying about the future. We can also share it with the important people in our lives, so that the value of photography can be extended to more people and even passed on to the next generation. For travel, it was the action of measuring the world with one's footsteps. Traveling allowed people to leave the familiar environment and explore the unknown world, thereby widening their horizons, understanding different cultures, customs, and history, and enhancing their personal cognition and understanding. It was also a way to relax and reduce stress. It could allow people to get rid of the pressure and constraints of daily life and enjoy the feeling of freedom and relaxation. It could also stimulate people's inspiration and creativity, bringing new enlightenment and thinking to life and work. When photography and travel are combined, you can explore how they reinforce each other and create a richer and more meaningful experience. For example, through photography, travelers could better record and share their journey, leaving behind precious memories and works; photography could guide travelers to discover the details and beauty that were easily overlooked during travel, improve photography skills and artistic accomplishment, and deepen their understanding and perception of the destination. The study of photography tourism helps to understand the impact and value of these two aspects on human life. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>

The following is a Qinghai tourism photography guide: ** 1. Popular photography locations ** 1. ** Emerald Lake ** - Dachaidan Emerald Lake was a salt pond with different shapes and depths. The light green, emerald green, and deep blue water of the lake alternated, like pieces of crystal clear "Emerald". Standing by the lake, the mirror-like lake reflected the blue sky, white clouds, and snowy peaks, making it look like a fairyland. When shooting, one could make use of the extended feeling of the salt road, such as putting the character on the three-point line, taking a walk, or using different zooming in to change the shooting angle, such as sitting down and zooming in 3.5 times. - Boundless Cliff Emerald Lake was like a piece of pure jade. When it was calm, it was like a mirror scattered everywhere. The color was pure and clear. The light green, emerald green, and dark green lake water made it look like a piece of jade embedded in the Gobi Desert. 2. ** Yandan on the water ** - After tens of millions of years of geological movements and changes in time and space, this place had become the world's largest and most spectacular Yadan community. In spring and autumn, flocks of water birds and wild ducks would run and chase on Yadan, so it also had the reputation of "Thousand Islands Lake of Birds". 3. ** West Taijinaier Lake ** - A road separated the lake. One side was green, and the other was blue. Looking down from the sky, it looked like a particularly artistic oil painting. 4. ** Aiken Spring ** - It was more than 10 meters in diameter. The spring's eye was like boiling water that kept rolling up. Sulfur minerals around the spring's eye had been deposited for a long time to form a strange pupil shape, like an eye embedded in the earth, also known as the "Blood of the Earth". Although the orange-red indigo Danxia folds on both sides of the river were not fully developed, the veins were clear under the cover of light and shadow. The ink-blue road and the blood-red riverbed were neck and neck in the valley, and the red and light ochre corals were distributed in a dense and forked shape. It looked like blood vessels and capillaries in an anatomical map. 5. ** Thousand Buddha Cliff ** - The steep cliff was covered with red mud hanging structures, like a suspended red waterfall pouring down. It was magnificent. The layers gradually changed from a few meters to dozens of meters to hundreds of meters. It was like a thousand Buddhas sitting in meditation. 6. ** Heimahe to Niaodao Road (around Qinghai Lake)** - The Black Horse River was the starting point of the highway around Qinghai Lake. 78 kilometers along the highway was the famous Bird Island. This section was known as the most beautiful section of Qinghai Lake. There were prayer flags, Mani piles, and horse herders by the lake. 7. ** Chaka Salt Lake ** - Surrounded by snowy mountains, the calm lake reflected the beautiful and intoxicating sky scenery like a mirror. It was known as the "Mirror of the Sky in China". Being in the world of salt, walking on the lake was like walking on the clouds. The water reflected the sky, and the sky touched the ground. Walking on the lake was like walking in a painting. 8. ** Menyuan Rape Flower ** - In the middle of July, the rape flowers in Menyuan were in full bloom. The flower scene complemented the local blue sky and white clouds, high mountains and flowing water, forest and grassland, unique residential houses, beekeepers, etc., creating a unique and charming scenery. ** 2. Selection of photography equipment and techniques ** 1. ** Equipment Selection ** - For professional photography, you could choose a single-lens reflex camera or a micro-camera with different focal lengths. For example, a wide-angle lens was suitable for shooting large scenes, such as lakes and the full landscape of Yadin. A telephoto lens could be used to shoot distant scenes or close-ups, such as shooting waterbirds in the lake. If it was simple travel photography, the current smart phones could also take good photos, such as the Huawei P40 Pro and the iPhone XS max. 2. ** Shooting Techniques ** - In terms of composition, he could use the three-point rule to place the characters or the scenery that he wanted to highlight on the three-point line to increase the beauty and balance of the picture. When shooting large scenes such as lakes, pay attention to using the horizon or the shoreline to maintain the level of the picture. Using reflections was also a good technique. For example, in Emerald Lake, Chaka Salt Lake, and other places, the calm surface of the lake could reflect the sky and the surrounding scenery, enhancing the layering of the picture. When shooting dynamic elements, such as shooting waterbirds on the water, you can use continuous shooting mode to capture wonderful moments. ** 3. Itinerary Planning ** 1. ** Classic 8-day photography itinerary example ** - Day 1: Set off from Lan Zhou. - The second day: Lanzhou-Qinghai Lake (368 kilometers)-Chaka Salt Lake (150 kilometers), you can take pictures of the vastness of Qinghai Lake and the mirror beauty of Chaka Salt Lake. - The third day: Ulan-Emerald Lake (406 kilometers)-Dachaidan (11 kilometers), enjoy the colorful lake water of Emerald Lake. - Day 4: Dachaidan-Southern Eight Immortals (106 km)-Yadan on the water (122 km), shooting the unique landscape of Yadan on the water. - Day 5: Yadan on the water-Cold Lake (298 km)-Oberliang (89 km)-Cold Lake Town (89 km). Oberliang has a unique Yadan landscape. - Day 6: Cold Lake-Lover Lake (391 km)-Delingha (45 km). - Day 7: Delingha-Qilian (488 km) - Day 8: Qilian--Menyuan rape flowers (169 km)--Xining (150 km)/Xining, shooting the scene of Menyuan rape flowers. ** IV. Travel time and precautions ** 1. ** Travel Time ** - Summer (June-August) was the most suitable season for traveling and photography in Qinghai. The temperature was relatively high at this time. The rape flowers in Menyuan were in full bloom, the grasslands were green, and the lakes were even more beautiful under the sunlight. However, this was also the peak season for tourism, so there were many tourists. 2. ** Points to note ** - The road conditions in some areas of Qinghai were complicated. For example, small scenic spots such as Ebo Liang Ya Dan and the Gobi Desert in Black Mountain might be dirt roads. It was best to drive a 4WD SUV and have a good grasp of the road conditions to avoid getting stuck. The weather in the northwest plateau was changeable. It was necessary to check the weather in advance, but it was also necessary to be prepared for sudden weather. For example, when encountering extreme weather such as sandstorms, you should pay attention to protecting your photography equipment. In some popular scenic spots, such as the tourist season, it might be overcrowded. You can try to choose places that don't charge tickets to reduce the impact of the crowd on the filming. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>

For newcomers to participate in photography competitions, they could consider the following aspects: ** 1. Evaluation of Competing Ability ** 1. ** Shooting Techniques ** - The photography competition mainly assessed the ability to shoot. Newbies needed to have certain shooting skills, such as mastering exposure knowledge. The strength of the light would greatly affect the performance of the photo. You couldn't just rely on the automatic exposure of the phone. You had to learn to use the exposure adjustment function on the screen. Otherwise, there might be problems such as a big black face, a big hole in the sun, or a flower color overflow. - The composition ability was also very important. You couldn't shoot immediately when you saw the beautiful scenery. You had to think about whether there was a better angle and better scenery. For example, when shooting rainbows, the addition of landscape would make the photo more unique, instead of just shooting at the sky. 2. ** Shooting Style ** - Newbies had to evaluate whether they had formed a unique shooting style. Knowing what type of photography you are good at, such as people, landscape, or animal photography, will help you determine whether you meet the requirements when choosing a competition. ** 2. Competition Requirements ** 1. ** Themed Requirement ** - Different competitions had different selection criteria and theme requirements. Some competitions had specific topics, while others had subcategories. For example, the iPhone Photography awards did not have a theme each year, but gave more than ten subcategories such as animals, children, landscapes, and people. The Mobile Photography awards had 18 categories, including architecture, landscape, silhouette, street photography, and so on. If the theme of the competition did not match his shooting style or content, it might affect his confidence and preparation for the competition. - He also had to pay attention to whether there was a limit on the number of works. 2. ** Nature of the work ** - For example, in news and documentary photography competitions, the post-production standard was that the objective reality could not be changed. For example, adding clouds and copying horses were not allowed. However, general photography competitions allowed different levels of post-production. For example, mobile Photography awards allowed the use of mobile applications for post-production editing. It was also allowed to add elements such as mosaic, mobile painting, digital art, and so on. ** 3. Purpose of Competition ** 1. ** Challenge yourself ** - For beginners, participating in photography competitions was a way to challenge themselves. They could encourage themselves to try new photography techniques, styles, and subjects, thereby improving their photography skills. 2. ** Communication and learning ** - The participants could learn about the works and styles of other photographers and gain experience in the field of photography. Through observing outstanding works, one could learn other people's composition, lighting, post-processing techniques, and so on. 3. ** Promotion of himself and his works ** - If one wanted to gain more attention in the field of photography, participating in competitions was one way, but newcomers might need to gradually accumulate experience and the quality of their work. ** 4. Competition Selection and Identification ** 1. ** The value of the competition ** - ** Charging and free **: Charging photography competitions may not be good competitions, but they may be more valuable. For example, the iPhone photography competition charged 5.50 dollars per photo. The more photos submitted, the higher the fee. The judges were of a higher level, the competition process was formal, the awards were highly recognized, and the prizes were relatively generous. However, there were also unscrupulous commercial competitions that used the name of charging fees to engage in "black box operations" and spend money to buy "certificates." Free competitions were not necessarily without value. For example, the WPG (World Press Photographer Competition) was the most influential in the international press photography industry. It was open to photographers in the field of news photography and documentary photography for free. - [Competition Level: Generally speaking, international competitions are more important than national competitions.] However, local competitions had fewer participants and were less competitive, so it might be easier to get a ranking. 2. ** Regular Judgment ** - Whether the competition was official or not could be judged by the popularity of the competition, the number of years it had been held, the qualifications of the organizers, and the judges. It was best to participate in some new and unknown "wild competitions" with caution. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>
