For landscape photography, the quality of the weather is one of the important factors affecting the quality of imaging, among which rainy days are one of the most common weather. Although the light on rainy days is basically scattered light, with low brightness, high color temperature, and the three-dimensional sense of the scene being photographed is not strong, in the eyes of photographers who like this, shooting in the rain has a unique interest - under the influence of rain, the world is as clean as it is, and the wide-angle lens shooting makes the scenery purer, and the rising rain fog adds a sense of ethereality; the slow door photographs the flow of people holding umbrellas in the rain, drawing a beautiful curve in the combination of virtuality, reality, movement and stillness, and the raindrops fall In an instant, it seemed to be still in the solidification of the lens; the macro lens took the water droplets splashed on the petals of raindrops, creating an interesting sketch...
The region and environment are different, and the scenery in the rain also has different differences. In the photos taken by the photographer in the wind and rain, we can see the scenery in the rain, which is rough, graceful, atmospheric, or quiet, as well as the strong charm emitted here. This issue of "discovery" allows us to experience the wonderful artistic conception in the rain with the camera.
She County Shitan: New rain in empty mountains, Taoyuan in southern Anhui
New rain in empty mountains Lu Chunnan Photo
Dozens of ancient villages are scattered in the northeast mountainous area of She County in Anhui Province. " Top 100 Photography Points in Huangshan City " Shitan is one of them. When spring comes, rape flowers, peach blossoms, peach blossoms, and peach blossoms are in full swing, in full swing, and are in full swing. Especially the layers of rapeseed flowers covered in the mountains, which render the colorful scenery, and the intoxicating fragrance everywhere.
In early March this year, I went to Shitan Village with a few friends to collect folk songs. The weather was not good, and light rain began to rise. I stood on the observation deck of Xiatai Village and looked at the light rain in the stone pond and found it had a different interest. The organic combination of pink peach blossoms, emerald green new leaves, golden cauliflowers, and black tiles and white walls, occasionally a fog of clouds floats, covering this beautiful scenery, which can be said to be "heavy makeup and light makeup are always suitable." Facing such a beautiful scenery, I immediately took out my drone and flew into the sky in the drizzle.
Rain and moisten the stone pond Lu Chunnan
In the air, as the perspective changes, the scenery presented in the frame is even more heart-wrenching. The continuous mountains, floating clouds, curved rivers, scattered cauliflowers, and emerging villages combine to form a beautiful peach garden picture. The changing clouds and mist suddenly rose and spread, and the scenery on the ground also changed unpredictably. Sometimes the river was exposed here, sometimes the golden color of cauliflowers was displayed there, and then the village at the foot of the mountain was decorated as a fairyland. Looking at the stone pond in the air, it is even more beautiful in the rain.
shoots the beautiful scenery in the rain in Shitan. I think the effect of combining cameras and drones will be better. For example, shooting peach blossoms as the foreground, cauliflowers as the middle scene, and a village in the distance. Such a layered picture will be less effective when shooting with a drone. For example, when a drone photographs a village in the clouds, the village appears smaller and not prominent enough in the picture. However, when using a camera combined with an telephoto lens , the village as the main body is like being in a fairyland. Be careful when shooting aerial photos in the rain. Do not fly too high or too far. As long as you highlight the subject, you will achieve your goal. If the rain becomes heavier, you must retract it in time to avoid damage to the drone in water.
Over the years, I have visited Shitan to collect folk songs four times, and have photographed the sea of clouds in Shitan, the blooming cauliflowers, the morning sunrise and the dusk sunset. But this time, the shooting in the rain allowed me to see another kind of scenery in the stone pond, leaving me with unforgettable memories. (Text/Lu Chunnan)

Cherry Garden Light Rain Lai Dengrong Photo
In Yongfu Town, Zhangping City, Longyan City, Fujian Province, Yongfu Cherry Garden is located at the Tea Garden in Houyu Village and Taiyuan Villa in Lizhuang Village. There are as many as 42 species and hundreds of thousands of cherry blossoms , showing the beauty of cherry blossoms in various shapes.
Yongfu Town is located between the Daiyun Mountains and the Bopingling Mountains. It is the southernmost alpine basin in Fujian, with an average altitude of 780 meters. As early as around 2005, many tea farms such as Jiude and Taipin interplanted thousands of cherry blossoms when developing tea gardens to improve the ecology of the tea gardens. Now the blooming cherry blossoms unexpectedly become a beautiful scenery. In 2012, in order to further leverage Yongfu's ecological and industrial advantages and create a unique alpine ecological leisure tourism brand, Longyan City and Zhangping City and Taichuang Park built a cherry blossom garden in Yongfu Town with good basic conditions, and carefully built it as a key project for the construction of "beautiful countryside", creating the current Yongfu Cherry Blossom Garden.
Cherry Garden in the Rain Lai Dengban
Next to the winding road connected to a mountain, tens of thousands of cherry blossoms are colorful, pink, red, white... Clusters of blooming cherry blossoms extend along the road, dotted on the layers of green tea mountains, and complementing the tea trees, giving a unique scenery. The main cherry blossom varieties planted in Yongfu Cherry Garden include Chinese Red, Fierce Han Cherry, Yunnan Cherry, Oi Yoshino Cherry, Peony Cherry, Fujian Mountain Cherry , etc. The best viewing period is around the beginning of spring (end of January or early February) to mid-to-late March each year. At that time, cherry blossom varieties bloomed one after another, splendidly splendidly throughout the spring. Every time the flowering season comes, Yongfu cherry blossom garden is crowded with people and a tree of flowers is blooming.
I have been to Yongfu Sakura Garden to take pictures many times, especially when there are many people in the flowering period, but I also want to see the quiet cherry blossom garden and listen to the whisper of the cherry blossoms. So, on a misty day, my friend and I came to a photography trip in Sakurayuan, which was just a walk. When the cherry blossoms meet a spring rain unexpectedly, the fallen flowers are colorful and fall with the wind, and the trees, the sky and the ground are full of pink and flowers. The air in the tea garden in the rain is so fresh, with clouds and mist in the distance and blue waves rolling. Flowers falling in the wind are jumping and falling on the winding and layered tea trees. Tasting a pot of tea, watching the cherry blossoms fall quietly with the wind, and listening carefully to the sound of the flowers blooming and falling. All the troubles of the world are no longer there, and I am intoxicated in this paradise. Of course, I did not forget to press the shutter to leave the beauty of the cherry blossom garden in the rain. (Text/Laidengrong)
Zhangjiajie Wuling Source: Strange Peaks and Stones, Misty Rain Misty
Smoky Rain Wuling Source Hu Ying Photo
Wulingyuan Scenic Spots is located in the northwest of Hunan Province. It is composed of Zhangjiajie National Forest Park, Suoxiyu Nature Reserve and Tianzi Mountain Nature Reserve in Zhangjiajie City, with a total area of about 500 square kilometers. There are strange flowers and plants everywhere, and green pines and cypresses cover the sun and the sky; strange peaks and stones stand suddenly; the stream surrounds the clouds and valleys, and smoke grows on the cliffs. The natural value and rich primitive atmosphere of Wulingyuan conquered people. On 28 February 1993, it was listed on the World Heritage List by UNESCO.
Here are four seasons, which are typical subtropical monsoon humid climate . Spring flowers, summer rain, autumn leaves, winter snow, and magical peak forests, each season has different beauty, allowing photography lovers to wander in the picturesque scenery. My friends and I often make an appointment to walk into the depths of this ancient and mysterious mountain together, and watch the paintings slowly unfold in the misty rain.
People usually say that they cannot see the scenery on rainy days, but we just want to go into the mountains to take pictures when it rains. It just rained, and the mountains were indeed misty and could not see anything, but as long as the rain stopped for a while, and the mountain wind blew, a beautiful landscape with clouds rising soon appeared. The peak forest of Wulingyuan is paired with ethereal clouds and mists, sometimes clouds gather together, just like the Penglai fairyland, sometimes wind and clouds rise, like thousands of troops galloping. And these wonderful landscapes are always changing rapidly and cannot be captured without close-up. We drove among the peaks and forests to chase the changing flowing clouds, watching the direction of the clouds and fog rising, and racing against the clouds and fog in the scenic area. When we chased us, we laughed happily and took photos. Sometimes we also had to wait for the best time. If Yunwu plays "hide and seek" with us, we will make quick judgments based on the situation and travel back and forth between the attractions as quickly as possible.
Every time we enter the scenic spot, we will meet many photographers from all over the country, and our common hobbies allow everyone to communicate without barriers. Sometimes we will meet respected seniors and share our years of experience, which will bring us a lot of benefits. Even though I am in the rain, I can always feel the fulfillment and joy of life. I think this is the charm of photography. (Text/Hu Ying)
Xinlongcuoka Lake: Elf in the human world, drizzle
Quiet rain Cuoka Lake Fan Guangfu Photo
As a photographer, I have been to western Sichuan many times, and I met Xinlong County in Ganzi Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Sichuan Province by chance. In July 2019, as a special photographer of China Southern Airlines Media, I was invited to Xinlong to carry out poverty alleviation publicity with editors and reporters. From Chongqing to Aden Airport, heading west, all the way to the west, all the way to the vast grasslands, curved streams, tall poplars, the mountains are rolling, Tibetan villages are scattered among them, and cattle and sheep are quietly eating grass... The plateau scenery in western Sichuan is beautifully blooming, showing a fascinating "world of light and shadow". Finally, at the suggestion of local publicity departments and TV friends, we drove to Xinlong and visited Larima Shiban Tibetan Village , Hongshan, Chopa Lake and other places, and unveiled the mystery of this land with the lens.
In the Tibetan area, Hu and Haizi, which can be called "cuo", are both beautiful like Miss Zhuoma. Cuoka Lake is very close to Xinlong County. It takes about an hour to drive to Mari Township along the Yalong River. Then it circulates along the winding mountain road. The wind blows the leaves and rustles with birds singing. Several beautiful villages are hidden at different altitudes between the two mountains. The clouds and mist are shrouded in an orderly manner, with a mountain pastoral scenery. Tibetans live poetically here, and the Lake Cuoka stands on the top of the mountain.
When we arrived at Chopa Lake, it started raining intermittently, sometimes big and sometimes small. The Lake Choka in the rain appears and disappears in the fog, and the raindrops fall into the lake, making the reflection in the lake sometimes blurry and sometimes clear. Several tourists from afar took photos and checked in by the lake. The sound of birds singing from time to time in the mountains and forests makes the Lake Choka seem even more peaceful.
Cuoka Lake is not as big as I imagined. This plateau lake is like an emerald embedded next to of Cuoka Temple. After the rain, there was a layer of mist floating on the lake, which was very quiet and clean. Occasionally, birds flew over their wings, alarming the lake fish, causing ripples, spreading into the distance. Facing the Lake Choka, on one hand, there are the complete primeval forests, and on the other hand, there are large patches of red and green pine. Surrounded by green mountains, temples, pagodas, big Buddhas, houses, prayer flags, etc. that are scattered on the hillside and on the lakeshore are all reflected in the lake. There are no tourists here, no traffic, only the quaint Tibetan villages, the simple smiling faces of Tibetans, and the undecorated scenery.
Some people say that when you see Lake Tsoka, you may scream excitedly, but in the end, you will only stand quietly by the lake, unwilling to break this tranquility. Cuoka Lake is a holy lake in the hearts of local Tibetans, and there is a saying that "the elves left by heaven on earth." Different weather will make photographers have different moods and express different artistic conceptions in different photography languages. The artistic conception in the rain may only be interpreted by tranquility.
Cool land, plateau style, open the window and half the lake water, and surround the mountains and ridges, this is the mysterious Chopaka Lake. (Text/Fan Guangfu)
Phoenix Ancient City: Rain is misty, enjoy time slowly
Traveling in the rain Ancient City Zhang Hanyan Photo
The ancient city of Xiangxi Tujia and Miao Autonomous Prefecture, Hunan Province is very beautiful, especially on rainy days. Here, "waiting for a city of mist and rain", the phoenix is soaked by wind and rain, becoming a fairyland of unity between man and nature.
drizzle, covering the tiles of the ancient building and the water surface of the Tuojiang River. Standing on the Phoenix Bridge and looking eastward, the water vapor of geothermal evaporation rose along the slope, and the Nanhua Mountain, the Octagon Tower, and the Guanjing Mountain all became hazy.The river breeze blows the rain and fog on the river surface, the rain pavilions on the snow bridge, the stone piers that jump to the rocks, the flying eaves and corners of the north gate tower and the rainbow bridge towers appear and disappear from time to time. Small boats like leaves shuttled through the river, sometimes slowly appearing in sight, sometimes slowly disappearing in the rain and fog. The streets paved with red stone slabs were wet by the rain, reflecting the skylight, illuminating the doors, walls and eaves on both sides of the street. Pedestrians walked in the streets and became silhouettes from afar. Up to the East Gate Tower, overlooking Dongzheng Street, Dongbian Street and North Bian Street sink among large dark brown blue tiles, with crowds of people, colorful clothes and umbrellas forming a bizarre river, and finally gathering out of the city gate hole.
Ancient City Hongqiao Hu Haiwei Photo by
People rushed out of the north gate, passed through Rock jumping , extending to the opposite shore, like the colorful flower belt of the Miao family coiled around the ancient city. After walking through the city gate holes that have been eroded by wind and rain for hundreds of years, the rusty iron doors and the mottled red stone doors are silently watching the local residents and visitors from thousands of miles away. The rock jumping in the rain and fog is like a road leading to a fairyland. People walking on it are like flying clouds and fog, floating in the air.
Traveling in the rain is a romantic city. Photographers can watch waves by the water, wind by the railing, listen to the rain by the window, watch the lights across the river, and stand on the shore to strode the fog and catch rain at the sky. At night, under the illumination of various lights, the rain and fog become warm, romantic and blurry, bringing people into a dream world, which is amazing. (Text/Zhang Hanyan)
Yuntaishan Hongshi Gorge: Bright water Dan Cliff, clouds and rain
Swimming in the rain Canyon Guo Xianfang Photo by
Yuntaishan Hongshi Gorge, located in Xiuwu County, Henan Province, is listed in the world's first batch of World Geopark list by UNESCO for its unique northern karst landform. Hongshixia Scenic Area is the essence of Yuntaishan tourist attractions. The entire canyon is composed of red rock cliffs. It belongs to the rare Danxia landform canyon landscape in northern China. The cliff walls are red and red all over. The canyon is about 1,500 meters long, and it collects springs, waterfalls, streams, ponds and streams in a valley. It is praised by landscape garden experts as a "boutique landscape corridor in nature".
I went to shoot after seeing her. When I arrived at Rongshixia it happened to rain on the same day, which brought some difficulty to the shooting. However, Hongshi Gorge in the rain has a unique flavor. With the nourishment of rain, the rocks appear warmer and fuller in colors. As soon as you enter the scenic area, you can hear the gurgling water below the canyon. You will descend along the steep stone stairs to the valley, with red rocks stacking. Walking up to the cliff, only one person can pass through the narrowest part. If you are not careful, tall people will even touch their heads. There is a narrow canyon at the southern end of the valley entrance, called "Yi Line Sky". The peaks on both sides seem to be within reach. The waterfall more than 60 meters high goes down like a white dragon soaring out of the sky. Standing on the path between the canyon, looking down, there is a deep abyss under your feet, and the stream is jumping in the mountain stream. The rocks on both sides were wet, and tiny mountain springs squeezed out from the cracks of the rocks, drop by drop, show the tourists their charm.
Red stone landscape Guo Xianfang Photo
When we arrived at the concentric bridge, two hollow giant rocks connected, and a pool of clear water passed through the bridge. This is the internet celebrity check-in point of the scenic spot. Although it is raining, there are many tourists. The colorful raincoats have become a scenic spot. Everyone is rushing to take photos here and have a great interest.
Mountains are beautiful without water. To focus on the beauty of Hongshi Gorge, the key lies in the wonderful combination of mountains and water. Along the way, there are undercurrents, clear springs, rushing streams, green deep pools, and high-hanging waterfalls. There are three steps, one waterfall, and one pool with five steps, which is truly a scene every step. Flows of spring water flow slowly along the cracks of the rocks, waterfalls fall from the sky, splashing water, and deep pools are like pieces of jade. Zhu Ziqing Mr. Zhu Ziqing wrote the Meiyu Pond beautifully in "Green", which is fascinating and admirable. And the greenness and purity of the water in the Hongshi Gorge is not inferior to that of the Meiyu Pond. Due to the continuous flow of water all year round, many mosses grow on the stone walls, which is the most appropriate way to describe it as "green color".The light rain fell on the moss, like pearls, blowing by the wind, and gently scattered in the pool, adding light details to the picture under the macro.

Hongcun, Yi County: "Wu Village in Painting", if you are in the wind and rain, if you are in the wind and rain,
Drizzle rendering the beauty of Nanhu Yin Linfen Photo
World Cultural Heritage, National 5A-level Scenic Area Hongcun , located in Yi County, Anhui Province, the southwest foot of Huangshan, surrounded by mountains and rivers, it is known as the "HTM1 Chinese Painting Village". The very representative Hui-style buildings in the village are particularly eye-catching, with high horse-head walls, clear lake water and rainbow arch bridges. From a high point, Hongcun is like a green cow lying in front of the mountain by the stream. Leigang is the head of a cow, towering ancient trees are the horns, houses are the ox bodies, water is the cow intestines, , html January marsh is the ox stomach, Nanhu is the ox tripe, and the 4 bridges built on the river and stream are the ox legs, becoming a major architectural wonder.
Nanhu Lake is located on the south side of Hongcun. It was built in the Dingwei year of Wanli (1607) of the Ming Dynasty. It has a history of more than 400 years. It is one of the two cattle stomachs in Hongcun's imitation ox-shaped Feng Shui buildings. The endless drizzle wet the spring mud, and the birds sing when they are separated by the fog. The willows are frowning with peaches and smiling, while singing across the west of the painting bridge. Many poets and painters from ancient and modern times wrote many poems and paintings after visiting Nanhu, making the style of Nanhu even more prosperous.
One day in December last year, several of us photography enthusiasts made an appointment to go to Hongcun to take pictures. Unfortunately, it started to rain that day. Unexpectedly, Nanhu Lake in the rain presents a different artistic beauty. It is hazy in the distance. On the shore are lined up with houses, stacked buildings and white walls and black tiles, which look particularly fresh and quiet. The breeze blows, the weeping willows sway, the reflection of the lake surface is floating, and the water and sky are the same color. Dark clouds float by in the distance, and the floating clouds of the green mountains and the distant peaks all fall into the lake. The drizzle fell on the originally calm lake, causing ripples. The ancient branches on both sides stretch into the lake, and tourists hold umbrellas, red, green, blue, purple, pink, or connected to the bridge or surrounded by the lake, bringing different colors to the quiet Nanhu Lake and bringing infinite vitality.
I couldn't help but sigh. It was a beautiful view of the south of the Yangtze River. I immediately set up a tripod, adjust the camera parameters, and record this beautiful scenery. (Text/Yin Linfen)
