Hangzhou Yuhang Jingshan 1
Yuhang Trail Mountain was originally a cool place that Hangzhou people liked in summer. Take a sip of camellia and listen to the Zen and tea ceremony in Jingshan Temple. Life is very pleasant, and children can find fireflies there. At night, the lights of every household in Jingshan Village go out early, so it is easy to see the stars all over the sky there. When you look down, you will suddenly find that there are actually many "little stars" around you. Fireflies can be found outside the Jingshan ancient temple and along the Jingshan ancient road.

As the first water town in China, Zhouzhuang has always attached great importance to the protection of water resources. The broad South Lake has always been an excellent scenic spot in Zhouzhuang, with clear water and blue sky, and firefly larvae need such a hotbed. In early spring, firefly larvae living in water climb ashore and drill into the soil, and become pupae adults in about 50 days. In summer, these insects fly around the wet lake at night, looking for their "little friends".

: preparation work
1. Long-sleeved trousers: This is more important than the camera. Where fireflies appear, there are often dense vegetation, so in addition to fireflies, there are mosquitoes ~ ~
2. flashlight: in addition to lighting in the dark, you may need it to help you concentrate.
3. Choice of lens: When shooting fireflies in groups, the focal length should be wide, not long. Considering the weak light source, the aperture should be large rather than small. So try to choose a wide-angle lens with a large aperture.
4. Accessories: tripod and cable release alm.
1. Focus: The camera may not be able to focus in dark environment, and the focus needs to be adjusted manually. According to the actual situation, you can choose to adjust the focal length to infinity and then dial it back a little, or quickly use a flashlight to assist focusing, and then switch to manual focusing mode. It should be noted that fireflies glow at night because it is too bright during the day to hinder courtship, so your flashlight must not illuminate them for a long time.
2. Fill the light: There is basically no need to fill the light when shooting fireflies, and because the brightness of fireflies is very low, after turning on the flash, it is estimated that there is nothing but grass.
3. Exposure: The choice of shutter varies from 10 second to 100 second according to the environment at that time and the shooting effect you want. Pay attention to choose ISO here, try to control noise and ensure the picture is clean.
4. Stability: The position of the tripod must be selected to ensure the stability of the tripod.
Reminder: Try to keep quiet when observing, don't use high-power searchlights, don't use strong light sources such as flashlights at will, and don't catch fireflies.
In addition to the above-mentioned scenic spots for viewing fireflies, fireflies can be seen in many places in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai. Thousands of fireflies are flying in the jungle on a quiet summer night. At this moment, I just want time to be frozen. Walking in the deep mountains and forests in the evening and witnessing the firefly feast with my own eyes is a journey of chasing light that I must punch in once in my life!
