Find out it's hazy. Went to the fog season. Remember that before in Chinese photography, read about how to take pictures when the fog, looking to share with you. Use fog and clouds of dust often can beat out people photography, this is the point from which many excellent photographic works are able to see it in the atmosphere to our role. So the scenery of the photographers are willing to use fog and clouds of dust to inflate and talk about them is always exciting. In fact, when you really be in it, you find that you are the beautiful scenery around fleeting record is not an easy task, because only mastered the fog causes, types, characteristics and complete technical requirements while shooting, you can easily manage it to get satisfaction. Fog causes: fog mainly by ground water evaporation and condensing into small droplets. When the air and surface temperature, water vapour phase almost will rise to the high-altitude is cloud, if compared to the cold air, the water vapor is floating in the ground into the fog. Mist prone near Lakes, river basin, after the rain forest, mountains, etc. In the autumn and winter, the ground temperature low often foggy, especially at dawn, clear sky to the ground heat dissipation into the sky, the temperature close to the freezing point, moisture in the air will be on the ground together form a layer of very low fog or Oi. In the morning, the Sun so that the air is hot, will lift the fog. Fog types: different conditions produce different types of fog. When the warm moist air blowing relatively cold surface will produce advection fog. On a clear night, especially in the River Valley, the ground temperature decrease rapidly, the moisture accumulation in the air, then you can form a radiation fog, or low fog. If the air in the mountain side up and cooling will form the uphill fog. When the warm striker after cooler area they would form a front fog. (Excerpted from the book publishing house of the Earth to explore the sea, "a book) shooting tips: 1. In the mist and dust environments, where the air is filled with many reflective material (water molecules, dust particles, etc.) that will make your camera's exposure system interference by these reflective material, resulting in an incorrect exposure results. So after you must increase the metering 1 ~ 2 levels of exposure, it may be a serious shortage of film exposure. Also, if possible, may wish to use bracketing. 2. in the misty season out of shooting, to beat out unique photos, some knowledge of meteorology to the weather conditions make accurate judgments is very important. 3. before the shooting will be photographic equipment ready to sleep late, make sure you will be arriving before the Sun came out shooting points. 4. morning fog is characterized by changes sooner, faster, easier and faster. So don't wait until you think that perfect moment the shutter is pressed, since early morning fog often fleeting, to take advantage of the limited time, take a few more, let the chance of a lifetime away from your eyes. 5. in dust environments take attention to safety, especially at highway shooting scene transition, more should always think about dangerous as you go along. First, it is necessary to avoid traffic, the second to prevent livestock Stampede, 3 to protect the equipment against dust on it.

Coincided with the day it begins to rain, I think tomorrow should be a good weather, day lit I walk out the door. At this point, the Earth and the villages still asleep, birds and animals from the ear eat grass, I could chew in a fairy tale world. Choose good shooting, I quietly in a tree-Pier, waiting for the dawn of time. Finally a piece of the Orient, a momentary dawn rose and morning fog blending together, I jumped with excitement. From prejudging this morning fog, to select the shooting point, pressed the shutter moving camera, everything seems to be good in the design of the program. Back to Beijing, some friends and pictures to my request for this picture, but unfortunately, I can't get out of the extra reverse picture to meet them, because the mist is fast, dispersed faster, I only took a few pictures. Shooting information: use a Su 205FCC camera, lens, CFE140 ~ 280mm machine inner light (the exposure compensation level 1 and a half), Gitzo tripods, Kodak E100 VS reverse picture. 2. the transition of Xinjiang Burqin County 2002.9 Xiao Wei photo taken in the autumn of 2002, I conducted in Altay region, often photography and morning fog and Kazak-specific transition together. Once in the vicinity of encounter large numbers of Burqin turn farm flocks of hundreds of sheep kicking up dust, the sky of a dozen or so metres high, over their prodigious. Shepherd with long lashes, like clouds fog-like now runs East-West, now run, and the scene is very spectacular. See this beauty, I'll be at the side of the car, fast-good tripod, bracket good forest good husband 6 × 17 camera, a large flock has entered into a shooting location, at this point, the location is not a shepherd, is obscured by dust and thereby miss out on a lot of shooting time. Herd continues to move forward, desperation had to hold the camera, carrying a tripod 100 m race was run to over and over again for the opportunity to the flock. The Shepherd would probably think I'm too tired, so he called upon the flock I stopped to take pictures. What I know, he is to be shepherds, sheep, and that changing the dust organic combination, so as to achieve the use of dust render atmosphere. I motioned to him not to let the herd stop, who wants to be pastoralists could not understand my language, but also can not read my gesture, I had to learn to plow hand kick sheep walk forward he can understand. It has not decided otherwise, herdsmen also thought I was acting,Apparently motionless. Agitated, I had to own ran out the sheep. The Shepherd has finally realized that he smiled. Look at the Shepherd far back, recall the scene I just laugh. Shooting information: good husband 6 × 17 camera, Schneider Lens, high Sen 180mm 1 ° point exposure meter (exposure compensation level 2), Gitzo tripod. Kodak E100 VS reverse picture.
