Focus on reflecting the sense of history and vicissitudes




U Bein Bridge at sunrise or sunset, as the bridge represents the "ancient road"
Therefore, in addition to normal shooting, you can try using several neutral density filters.
Use a tripod to slowly expose the pedestrians to create flowing shadows.

This reflects the history of the bridge and the "human touch" it carries.

It is not advisable to use a wide angle, and medium and long focal lengths are mainly used
Try to avoid the crowds of tourists on both sides of the composition

At sunrise, in addition to normal shooting
You can try to deliberately let the sun shine directly on the lens for a short time
Producing halos and spots, reflecting the meaning of "Buddha's light shines everywhere"
You can try to completely ignore the sky when composing after sunrise.
Only shoot the part of Tallinn below the backlight, taking advantage of the characteristics of backlight

Inle Lake is located in the Liangshui Basin of the Shan Plateau in northern Myanmar.
It is the second largest lake in Myanmar, with an altitude of more than 970 meters.
The area is nearly 116 square kilometers
The lake is surrounded by mountains on three sides, the water is clear, and the sun shines directly on the bottom of the lake.
Inle Lake sunrise or sunset, wide angle or medium focal length splicing is available
Note two points: the area of the sky and the lake cannot be equal
If two complementary colors appear in the picture (such as the blue of the lake and the orange of the clouds)
The proportions cannot be equal

The fisherman's movements and the unfolded fishing net should not occupy too large an area in the frame.

The balance of composition and the psychological balance of the audience are the key to the success of the work.

It does not necessarily show the front of the person, it can be the back or the side view



Myanmar Q&A
Myanmar has a tropical monsoon climate, and the year can be roughly divided into the dry season and the rainy season.
The dry season in Myanmar is from October to May of the following year.
This season is also the peak season for tourists to Myanmar
The golden season for photography is from November to March of the following year.
Stable climate and suitable weather
The classic hot air balloon scene in Bagan will also arrive as scheduled during this period
The rainy season generally starts from June to the end of September.
But the rainfall is mainly concentrated along the Andaman Sea coast
Bagan, Mandalay and the Inle Lake region of Shan State did not receive much rain.
Heavy rain usually comes quickly and goes away even faster, and the air is clear and fresh after the rain.
There are often more beautiful sunrises and sunsets
Most tourists have misunderstandings about the rainy season, so there are fewer tourists in Myanmar during this time.
Some photographers are looking for strange and surprising astronomical phenomena.
Specially choose to go during the rainy season
Compared with the dry season, there will be more unexpected harvests

Drugs, civil war, isolation, backwardness...
It seems that Myanmar is in the minds of many people
Still associated with these sensational terms
Little do people know that in addition to the media's deliberate reports
Myanmar may be one of the most simple and kind countries on the planet
More than 92% of the population believe in Buddhism
Most locals are refreshing, peaceful and kind to others.
Therefore, you rarely see quarrels and disputes on the streets of Myanmar.
When it comes to the services in Myanmar's tourism industry
I believe that all tourists who have visited will be sincerely impressed
Many tourists have expressed their gratitude in their return visits.
It feels so good to travel in Myanmar. The worries before departure were unnecessary.
Not only is the food and accommodation good, but also the tour guide, driver,
The hotel staff are all smiling.
It is indeed a country full of smiles and innocence
Of course you can!
Many tourists join photography tours
All for the best view at the best time
Although the photography team will get up early and work late
But it is worth it to take satisfactory photos.
And China-TravelNote's photography tour leaders are all experienced
Whether it is a SLR micro single or a mobile phone, even if you can't take pictures
As long as you want to learn photography knowledge, the leader will definitely teach you everything he knows
Of course, if you want to see the scenery but don't want to be too tired during the journey
Then the Myanmar in-depth tour is your best choice!
