"A Complete Guide to Photographing the Rapeseed Field" - Comprehensive Preparation from Clothing to Shooting Locations!

Spring caresses everything, and it is the season of rapeseed flowers again. The golden rapeseed flowers, the distant mountains and the nearby water complement each other, forming a beautiful landscape of spring. This is also a photography sanctuary that countless photography enthusiasts yearn for. Here, the editor presents the most complete rapeseed flower photography guide!

Location: In mid-to-late March, rapeseed flowers in Wuyuan, Jiangxi, Hanzhong, Shaanxi, Huangshan, Anhui, Gaochun, Jiangsu, and Jingmen, Hubei will gradually enter their peak flowering period. Timing: Rapeseed flowers bloom for one to two months, and the morning, afternoon, and after rain are the best times to take photos.

When the flowers first bloom, the light yellow and tender green are intertwined, which is very refreshing; when they are in full bloom, they are golden and very brilliant. You can consult the local flower information and grasp the right time to take pictures. Morning and afternoon are the best times of the day for taking pictures, when the light is softer and the colors are more vivid. When the drizzle stops, the rape flowers are covered with water drops, and the colors are the brightest and most vivid. Taking pictures is not only about taking pictures of the scenery, but more importantly, it is about taking pictures of the people in the sea of flowers.

Shooting "Strategy"

Artistic conception: Photographing rapeseed flowers is not just about photographing the yellow flowers, but also about expressing the regional scenery of the area. For example, the rapeseed flowers in Luoping are combined with the local karst landforms to create a special local charm, and the delicate hilltops are like islands floating in the sea of rapeseed flowers.

The rapeseed terraces in Jiangling, Wuyuan, wind up the mountain and reach the sky, full of rhythm.

The rape flowers in southern Anhui are often interspersed with Hui-style houses, which are unique in flavor.

The rapeseed fields in the west have a more vast feeling with clear skies and light clouds.

In Shaanxi, the rapeseed fields on the water have an extra charm, the river has thousands of bays with clear water, and the shore is surging with golden waves.

Using these contents when shooting can help increase the connotation of the picture and increase the watchability. In addition, when shooting in water towns, you should also make full use of the rich colors of the river surface. In places like Zhejiang, Anhui, Jiangxi, Hunan, Fujian, etc., the river water is pure and mostly emerald-colored. The combination of green and yellow rape flowers can not only achieve a good contrast color difference, but also a harmonious color. The river water serves as a foil, and through the changes in different shades of tones, it sets off the foreground.

Composition: If there is a river system, you can use a diagonal composition to let the water run through it, making the whole picture lively.

If the background is a hillside with patches of green plants, you can choose to let rapeseed flowers occupy 1/3 to give the whole picture a sense of layering.

To capture the shape of blocks of rapeseed flowers in hilly areas, you can choose to shoot from a bird's-eye view to make the composition more colorful.

Aerial photography: You can use the drone’s intelligent shooting functions to capture interesting scenes, such as visual tracking to capture the ease of walking on country roads, and the beauty of riding on flower paths!

*When using the aircraft, be careful to avoid crowded places. Secondly, the temperature is lower in the morning and evening in spring, so be sure to preheat the battery to an appropriate temperature before taking off and flying high and far.

In March, follow the warm sun to find the sea of flowers. The comfortable spring breeze sways the flowers, the fragrance of flowers wafts in the air, and the bees sing and the butterflies dance. This is the spring you have longed for.
