a dam, dam dam is a geographical concept
Introduction, in the administrative division is divided on the paddock was placed under the county, Hebei, Fengning County and Zhangbei three parts, it will have a yard dam, dam and Zhang north dam Fengning three names. and Saihanba, Mongolian, beautiful plateau, specifically refers to the dam paddock. We usually say the dam is the dam paddock, because here the most beautiful scenery.
Hunting is a historical concept, geographic location, including Mongolia, Manchu Autonomous County in Hebei Province and Inner Mongolia paddock Keshiketengqi the part. center is mainly mechanical forest farm, horse farm yudaokou Red Mountain Ranch and three blocks. Mechanical Forest is the 60's the central area of artificial forests, grasslands Red Hill is the center of the horse farm, the two are not the local government jurisdiction. Machinery Farm directly under the Forestry Department of Hebei, Red Hill horse farm is directly under the Beijing Military Region Headquarters Joint Logistics, and Royal Crossing Ranch, is a paddock where the jurisdiction of the county, is still half-developed tourist areas, so people tend to buy three tickets for the dam.
Hunting 460 km away from Beijing, at an elevation between 1500-2100 m, annual frost-free period only 40 days, cold winter cool in the summer, the film is a good place to film natural scenery. Bashang picturesque seasons, summer and autumn, and winter is better, there are large tracts of forest, pasture, farmland, with beautiful flowers, but to several wild animals. summer and fall more easily into the dam, and the winter is relatively difficult, but the winter scenery of the dam but there is a different flavor: ice, A thousand Piao, cattle and sheep flocks, smoke curls, low color temperature sunlight on the snow-capped mountains, into a piece of birch swaying in the wind, gorgeous colors evolved, the winter like a dam as a beautiful fairy tale world!
two points of the winter shooting
to my personal experience, dam difficult to shoot scenes of the winter things, the screen is too open, can constitute the elements of the screen is very little, a lot of attractions but also because the road blocked and can not reach. basically blue sky or distant hills as the background, and foreground snow or white birch, sheep and cattle to do if there are prospects, it has been impossible to find elsewhere. but to have to shoot a big scene after sunrise or before sunset in a short time, this time level of rich,UGG boots, colorful, easier to work out. And other times during the day, the sun is strong, with snow-reflective, making the contrast between light and dark is very small, the picture is very gray, very difficult to produce good films, especially the magnificent scenes. so this is not that wide good reason to use.
but wide-angle shooting very effective little scene. close to the film, details, textures have been a very good performance, it can also open, desolate mood. but to show the open, desolate mood, you have to pay attention to the arrangements for the background, the prospects of trade-offs. In order to avoid a blank screen too, had intended to arrange some prospects, such as grass, animals, shadows, white birch, etc. are very good prospects, reasonable arrangements for these prospects can make rich and vivid picture.
addition to the exposure, the automatic evaluation of the camera metering is basically no problem, the value of the camera's metering is very accurate, and now both the reversal film or CCD, the final had post-processing by computer, over exposure can not be remedied, and a small enough can be transferred to normal, it is proposed that we should not worry about the snow increased gray film exposure. Only in the face when a large area of snow need to be increased exposure, but preferably not more than 1 file.
Finally, the protection of the camera. concentrate on shooting, and when not to ignore the hands, feet, ears, nose, temperature, etc., or other find their primary concern, it is already frostbite it! people chilled out but also recovery, if the camera to freeze, and Oh, That dam is white to it! first issue is the camera's battery. winter outdoor temperature is low, the dam minus two to three Ten degrees is normal. digital cameras use batteries at low temperatures often greatly reduce the working hours. more than a few spare batteries for it is very necessary. spare battery in your pocket next to the skin, allowing it to maintain a certain temperature. You can also use large-capacity external battery, the battery inside the insulation in clothing, with a wire link to the camera, so will be relatively trouble operating the camera more. outdoor temperature is very low, stay out a long time, the camera's surface temperature is very low ,Discount UGG boots, and you must be careful, do not let bare skin contact with the body to the camera. Otherwise, the viewfinder when the camera is likely to stick in the nose! This is not alarmist, low temperatures and to keep your baby a little distance from the camera good. viewfinder when the wrap with a scarf or face mask to prevent the camera and skin contact. mechanical shutter to freeze the camera is also a common thing, be careful not too early for the sunrise, etc. Oh, the camera gracefully. tripod head, If this is the kind of band-stop mud is dangerous, generally easy to freeze it! recommend the use of simpler parts of the head. for a long time outside shooting, the camera's surface temperature and the outdoor temperature has been considerable, when you return from the cold outdoor to the house,UGG shoes, if you immediately remove the camera, then the water vapor in indoor air would condense on the camera outside immediately. because the camera's temperature is very low, so is useless even wipe time. At this point is the rub quit, and wipe the surface condensation water, water vapor immediately and will continue to stay in the new camera, the camera's internal Moreover, can not wipe. digital camera is a precision electronic and optical products, water damage would be fatal. So, you entered the room do not camera hanging in the chest, while the first camera to be incorporated into the camera bag. Entering the house must not rush to open the camera bag, not to be taken out of the camera from a camera bag. go first to a temperature lower places, such as the lobby, aisle, etc., the camera bag in there, after some time, until the camera bag and the room temperature gradually equalized, and then open the camera bag.
three modes of transportation
1, Beijing mm dam traffic. There are three options: First, take a train from Beijing to the Courtyard Wing (half an hour away from the paddock County), has several flights a day, on-line for a search will understand. to a permanent station Tetraena can play to the dam, (price around 280), winter is best for them to stay the relative safety of a jeep book (price 400 yuan), the return is true; Second, take the shuttle bus from Dongzhimen to Beijing Weichang County, the fare 100 yuan, more than 5 hours of time; three chartered the airport directly to the paddock, 1,000 yuan, 4 hours.
2, dam traffic. dam winter temperature reaches -40 degrees limit! is the absolute test of the vehicle , by car to the dam, before the dam need to antifreeze, motor oil, gear oil are carried into cold, they should not appear could not beat the fire, front and rear axle gear oil solidified to live, or even a cylinder head gasket will give bared. before departure chains, tow rope, spade, is a fixture! If the words of a jeep, accompanied by off-road tires, off the gate from the paddock to go Qipanshan, this route through is no problem, then you can open an ordinary car detour to the Royal Crossing - Farm machinery - to the Red Hill horse farm. Here is the opening to focus on off-road vehicles prompt dam friends, we must pay attention to their tires, do not think the performance is superior to off-road vehicles careless Oh, dam The road was rough and deep, covered by snow, the surface of a flat, even the embankment side of the ditch it is difficult to see that, once trapped, no matter how good your jeep, hanging from the highway tire is useless! travel together is relatively secure, you can look after each other. driving a car to the dam's friends, can only be the car in the hotel, to change rent a Jeep.
four, equipment list
cold winter, the most important to the dam. We can not refer to local residents to buy clothing, because the demand is different. local residents fully adapt to the climate, coupled with relatively idle in winter, exercise less, just enough warm clothes on the line, and other less demanding. and our people photography mm warm clothing requirements, wind, sweat, breathable, lightweight, waterproof, and beautiful, the locals sweat, breathable, lightweight, waterproof ask for much. such as a wool coat to the top of a lot of military equipment, but very heavy not easy. and we have to wear warm than the local people for the job because the local people generally do not stay long on the outside, especially not for a long time still. the experience of other outdoor shops not strictly in accordance with They are mainly recommended for ALICE, ALICE is a large amount of exercise time, their body's own heat a lot more than we Photographer.
1, to light and warm jacket, wind is good, outdoor Jackets the most appropriate. coupled with the best down jacket liner, or directly buy a good wind down jacket, to bring a hat. Zhuarong Yi or wear down jacket in cashmere clothing, more warmth. the most wear sweat warm inside good outdoor breathable underwear, generally do not wear cotton underwear is best, because the large amount of exercise a sweat, the body will be posted very uncomfortable, but also absorbs the body temperature of warm effect.
2,. trousers requirements and Almost clothes, but also the same with, and then loaded on to the snow cover, shoes and pants to prevent snow coming down. We Photographer marching to the place almost all the road snow, snow cover is very useful.
3, shoes Users high outside help is the best choice hiking shoes, shoes that light, good waterproof windproof, which mat pad, good outdoor wear thick warm wool sweat socks, preferably coupled with a pair of wool socks. sometimes kept shoes dry and even more important than warmth, every night is best to remove the insole, warm place to dry. but hiking shoes must freshman code, which can wear two pairs of thick socks over. If not, you can also Local bought military cotton shoes, 100 yuan 1 double, it works. foot is the most likely site of frostbite.
4, see your coat hat hat is how, if a good warm hat and coat, so do not cap , a wool scarf around can also be used to surround the nose and chin and other parts to minimize the exposed skin area, especially the ear most likely to frostbite. If the hat is not enough warm coat, then buy a thick wool hat, fleece robbery hat or cap, as the head wrapped up.
5, thick gloves, is not conducive to operating the camera,cheap UGG boots, too thin is not warm, if possible, so thick gloves, thin gloves Riga appropriate. find it troublesome and can also buy a Outdoor thickening wind gloves.
6, skin care products. dam in winter is very dry, sunny day the sun is strong, strong ultraviolet rays, so sunscreen moisturizing skin care products is very important. lip balm, moisturizer, hand guard Cream should take.
7, glasses, headlights, ski pole, as the case may be, reflective snow sunny day, the eyes too much for a long time, though does not lead to snow blindness, but eyes very uncomfortable it is. eyewear try not to use metal frames, or glasses where contact with the skin easily with frostbite. If the long walk or often climbing, trekking pole is very necessary, soft snow, one step will often slide back half a step, a ski pole to can solve this problem, if there monopod features ski pole on the best.
8, can bring some chocolate, beef jerky for a class of high-calorie foods, the key can supplement the heat.
