At the turn of autumn and winter, a Merlot-colored scenery is being delivered

The recently popular Merlot color can not only be worn, but also seen. At this turn of autumn and winter, it was actually tuned out by nature. One of the attractions of the Grand Canal Forest Park, the scenery of the Windy Reed Marsh is too changeable, the summer greenery is like Miyazaki's comics, the autumn grass and trees wither but dye the earth yellow, under the sun's shine, the naturally formed Merlot color adds a touch of unreal warmth to the cold weather. The Windy Reed Marsh is located in the south of the Grand Canal Forest Park, the name is too apt, all year round you can see the reeds stretching for miles on the bank of the river swaying in the wind. From early autumn, the reeds begin to bloom, and the flowering period can last until December when everything is withered, no wonder some people call the reed flower the 'flower of life'. A winding wooden plank road has been built among the reeds, connecting the reed marsh with the surrounding wilderness. Walking in it, the rustling sound of reed flowers dancing in the autumn wind can be heard from time to time, like a beautiful autumn melody echoing in the wilderness. 📍Location: Windy Reed Marsh Scenic Spot, South of Grand Canal Forest Park, Songliang Road, Tongzhou District 🚙Transportation: The Grand Canal Forest Park is built along the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, the area is very large and there are many entrances, there are basically parking lots at the entrance, very convenient for self-driving. To get to the Windy Reed Marsh, you must go through the West 6th gate, from the parking lot into the park directly to the Windy Reed Marsh. 🕑Opening: Open all day for free, no parking fee in the off-season.

Aren't we excited for the Autumn Season?

Let me show you how The Grand Canal Park looks like in Autumn. This park is located in Tongzhou District, Beijing. It is a huge park. Mostly, you can see families go there to stroll around and look at those colorful leaves. You can see a lot of tress wherein their leaves have turned into yellow, orange, red and brown. Many of us are longing for Autumn after the scorching hot weather in Summer. We are all excited for the cool temperature, aren't we? Try to visit this park during Autumn. I think this is one of the best parks to go in this season. A lot of falling leaves around which make the park looks much better. Let's all enjoy this season. 😊 #bucketlistreboot #bucketlistreboot #tripblazers #park #autumncolours #autumnleaves #ctripmoments #tripmoments #tripinspired #ctripmoments

When the photo of Huahua meets the niche sea of ten thousand flowers, it can be directly filmed

💛Hello everyone, I am a slightly overweight photographer from Beijing, Liuye 💛The recent season of flower portrait photography has been able to advance to the roses, after all, it is the city flower of Beijing. This time we will not go to the big parks, just in Tongzhou, there is a restaurant with an attached rose garden, which is amazingly full of flowers and really too good to shoot 💛This rose garden is well planned, with a scattered layout, it is a real sea of flowers. I guess there are a hundred thousand flowers? Surrounded by green grass and with simple buildings for contrast, it provides a particularly good color contrast environment that is easy to find and even better to shoot 💛The young lady wore a relatively light-colored spring dress this time, such a design easily achieves visual contrast, meaning the person is easy to spot among the flowers and can also highlight the femininity. It's what you call a visual focus 📍For this place, because the flowers are dense enough and these flowers are shot in close contact, the composition is really too easy. It's especially easy to combine reality and illusion, the key is that you can combine large and small scenes to shoot wide-angle, but you still need to pay attention to perspective distortion 📍When shooting portraits here, facial fill light might be a problem because the flowers may block the light on your face, but if you choose to use flash fill light or shoot on a cloudy day, there should be no problem. The flowers are very neat, and you will definitely find something if you look from different angles 📍Communicate with the young lady about the movements, just a walking state is fine, the more relaxed the better the effect of the shot might be, you want to create the feeling of enjoying the sea of flowers, that's right. Communicate more with body language 📍Because of the wide range of color grading and the use of a unified filter, RAW format is needed, so set it up in advance 📍For this environment, if you plan to create the atmosphere of a sea of flowers, you definitely need to relax the composition, shoot less close-ups, the physical conditions fully support it ‼Important details not to be overlooked, just find more angles, adjusting the high and low camera positions might be a good choice ‼Important details not to be overlooked, the flowers are dense but there are many thorns, still need to be careful to avoid getting pricked ‼Important details not to be overlooked, the area below the flowers is basically dirt roads, so wear appropriate shoes ‼Important details not to be overlooked, it's not a tourist spot, there are not too many facilities around 🔍Specific location coordinates: Count Lante's Western Restaurant (Grand Canal Store) 📸Equipment: Sony A7R4 + Sigma 85 F1.4 DGDN + Sony 35GM
