August 15, 2010, among the active participation of environmental enthusiasts, VAUDE Green Camp in Chengdu, China, successfully climbing the camp.
The camp activities will implement VAUDE green Chinese team – green mountain code of practice, as far as possible under the premise of environmental protection to achieve the goal of climbing. And the realization of the second climb Siguniangshan peak, elevation 5276 meters of the target.
Outdoor sports thrive in the world, the human climb gradually to reach more inaccessible places, and the inevitable impact on the local environment, or even destroyed.
Put away the mountaineering equipment, began life just looking at snow-capped mountains, no longer climb the snow-capped mountains, seems to be the most environmentally friendly behavior. But, in fact, the climber is more and more difficult to stop climbing we desire. The process of how to climb as much as possible to reduce the impact on the environment, and can help maximize the improvement of the environment is the obligation of every climber.

Beautiful flower color of plants has always been our friends love to shoot the majority of the objects, do not go very far in the countryside, their gardens, flowers are small corner is the place to settle, we take a small dc born with the advantage of flower , is the “macro mode”, usually to an upright tulip for the identification of a switch, which is the best tool for observing the microscopic world, but you have a SLR, then you need to buy a macro lens was.
Photography and portraits of different plants to rely on color to show the level and subject, to find an imaging camera will make you beautiful pictures more appealing, I recommend you use positive or bright mode to shoot flowers, and now most of the independent dc a plant model of the file, take the leaves out of flower color is quite strong, we recommend to use, after all, photography is art, not advocating the reduction. In addition, one has to flip or rotate the lens of the camera lcd make your viewing easier.
Before shooting, we should shoot the object pair will have a basic understanding, though not necessarily need to be a botanist. Each plant has its own personality, often to walk or carefully observe the outside raised their flowers, can be found in soil, water, sunlight and even around the insect species they can play different role in the growth and found that, can make themselves more appealing picture taken, whether it is well-designed garden or overgrown wasteland, or other environment, one leaf of a flower a fruit, can become the object of shooting.
Making plants very easy to use, because most of them are static, you could easily rely on what time in what way to shoot them, but that does not mean very simple, just like shooting photos of other themes, like, you have to consider things, such as light direction and composition methods, different angles, you can get different results.
Insects in plants the role of photography is also important, for the photographers, shooting flowers, insects are added, you can add a lot of fun photos, butterflies, bees, grasshoppers and many other insects will appear from time to time in our screen in general, the life cycle of insects in the early spring, 6.7 months into their most productive period, waited at the edge of some of the flowers in full bloom, you will find both insects visit all day long.
If you want to clear the captured insect wings, we must try to make the camera parallel to the wings of an insect, taking full advantage of a good depth of field, with a small aperture (f / 8 or smaller) can always fine photo shoot, of course, also need to their patience.
Do not have to shoot very high magnification and large depth of field range, as long as the slightly blurred background clearly highlighted in the bud, you can get a fascinating picture of the camera when the best shooting flowers flowers on the top of the ramp, be careful focus, the flowers of the most compelling point makes a clear record
Plant success often lies in the light of the use of shooting, shooting plants should use metering or bright cloudy, morning and half of the evening the sun is very beneficial to describe the details of the surface, this is a very soft light, the shadow will not be too stiff.
Morning dew will look more delicate plants, backlit to highlight the hair on the leaves of plants, but also make the flowers look even more crystal clear, the strength of the different seasons of the sun, plants, flowers the color shades, this time exposure determines the color reproduction and contrast, white flowers on the need to increase shoot 2/3-1EV exposure, shoot the flowers to make clean, bright screen under the proportional reduction in 2/3-1EV exposure, more saturated color .
Flowers we saw in the film, the use of the method of virtual background, but if all this way, or the middle of composition, then the screen will not get angry, random shooting is difficult to draw an excellent flower photos, only through careful composition to performance unique quality that they can be observed through the viewfinder composition, changing camera angles, the camera move around the level until you find the right position.
Placed into the branches and leaves are more dynamic to slash the screen, shooting a single branch of the flowers when the flowers beautiful to be able to fully display the geometric structure, and if things need to change towards the subject, you can pull the stems and flowers fixed, as far as possible on the composition so that the screen is simple, compact, sometimes only a local flower shoot performance of the whole picture than straightforward and more strong.
Let them take the actual situation when the number of flowers with, constitute a unified and harmonious picture of the face into a piece of landscape plants will make it into the environment to
Shooting plant flowers generally use a macro lens or telephoto lens, they are very shallow depth of field, so the choice of aperture to control depth of field more prominent, the use of large aperture telephoto lens and can be highlighted from the background out of flowers, the use of wide-angle lens and small aperture is able to plant in the foreground and distant mountains looks the same clear, each root can use the macro lens are crystal-clear flower is complete.
Make good use of depth of field is a good authoring tool, using a small aperture in each plant can take root hair very clear, the use of large aperture to achieve shallow depth of field, you can put the screen where the most prominent attention, focus be careful when shooting at close range, depth of field is very limited, this time, even a gentle breeze may be a problem, press the shutter, the very slight movement will cause the flowers on the photo blurry.
Flowers and plants take much more than a kind of subject, leaves, branches and bark can serve as a good theme, not only has a beautiful flower shape, and the leaf as a beautiful geometric patterns, the backlight can be seen clearly under the leaves vein textures, the growth of plant species, size and shape are different, the performance shooting flexibility.
Branches can also be picturesque, the use of silhouette painting technique can even be similar to the like effect, shooting dark if they can fill with a little inside the flash of light, until you can see the branches on the LCD screen details if they want silhouette, you can place a bright sky or the mountains alongside the exposure metering.
Although sunny in the morning and half of the evening when the best time to shoot, but the bad weather we can take the same plant, the wet rainy days make flowers more colorful, more green leaves, in the absence of wind, rain, his position drops of water can be mapped around the scene … … as long as good at finding, as bad weather to the magical plant can take photos.
The diversity of color characteristics of the largest plants, the flowers on a dark background or a bright blue sky when one of the best shot, to make flowers and other colors matched objects, such as bees, green leaves.
Buildings on the ground herb irradiation in backlight has shown a subtle hue, should pay attention to direct the lens when shooting the sun exposure will cause serious deficiencies and glare produced when recording a spike in the herb, the backlight can spike bordered the edge of beautiful bright side, when the contrast between the background and the main large, deep pressure can reduce the exposure background highlighting the main bright, colorful.
