Hello everyone, I am Liu Xuan. In Litang, a sky city with an altitude of 4,000m, every extra 1g of weight bearing will make people exhausted. When I was hiking, I could only reduce the weight of my equipment to the extreme. So this time I chose the SIGMA fp body that is not the same as the card machine. It is impossible to imagine how Sigma compresses the weight of a full frame without reflection to 370g.

During the hiking, I could easily hold the FP in my hand, turn on the computer and capture the entire process in one go, and quickly record the natural beauty. The following is the scenery in the picture taken by handheld FP. Litang County is located in the eastern part of Qinghai-Tibet Plateau . The county is about 4,000 meters above sea level and is known as the "City of the Sky".

When the volume and weight are reduced, the imaging quality of the FP does not decrease at all.

When I was creating a scenery, in order to take pictures of stars and ensure the highlight details, I found the composition in advance and predicted the trajectory of the sun. When the -2ev was exposed in the early stage, the shadows were brightened later. Incredible things happened, and the shadows could hardly be found in the shadows, and the suppression ability was extremely strong!

Personally believe that fp is more suitable for creation of starry sky and exposure themes. Due to the cancellation of mechanical anti-shake, fp's CMOS is not prone to thermal noise when exposed for time, which reduces the burden on creation.

The sky of Litang is as blue as washing, and the towering snow-capped mountains surround it, forming a magnificent picture unique to the plateau. After adapting for a while, I prefer to create with FP. The sensitivity of FP can be expanded to ISO6 at the lowest, allowing me to expose without the need for an ND light-reducing mirror.

When living in a Tibetan friend's house, he met Ge Nie Wanxia, so he took out his tripod and FP and ran to the yard to take pictures.

After hiking and lighting creation, I tried some unique gameplay of FP - color mode.
T&O and cinema mode are color modes that I particularly like. At this time, I like to use JPG format to go straight out, simple and retro. Unlimited stories are contained in the works. I personally think that the T&O mode is more suitable for outdoor screens.

I went to God and encountered hikers on the way. The clear air makes the snow peaks within reach, and the close-up gaze brings a breathtaking beauty.

is centered on Gnieshan , and is surrounded by mountains, primeval forests, grasslands, lakes, hot springs, temples, and Tibetan rural styles.

When I came to the county town, I prefer to use the cinema mode in a backlight environment, with the outline light hitting my body, and the texture is excellent. Of course, since I was shooting JPG straight out, in the case of big backlight, I turned on the TONE curve in advance to help me get better tolerance.

A week-long companion in SIGMA FP, we are at sub-zero temperatures, in high altitudes, in the middle... FP is like a trustworthy friend. It has not caused me any trouble. It is small and light, and it continuously helps me record any good moment.
