Yu Longhai said: "The 500px photography community should be the first photography app installed on my mobile phone, and the community is full of experts.

"I like to search for place-name keywords, unlock some unsure shooting angles, and explore more camera positions. It can be said that 500px has been a mentor to me on the road of photography. I had a dream of a fluorescent sea, and in the dream the sea emitted a brilliant blue light. If you are lucky enough, in the sea where the fluorescent sea is likely to occur, the tide level is suitable, and the wind direction and wind force are met, you can see this dreamy blue ocean with the naked eye.

"Rich and dangerous", the beaches in the sea that are too easy to reach are generally not considered, because the success rate of shooting is too low. About one or two small partners, get ready, and slowly climb down the cliff more than ten meters high has become a must.d.. The feeling of climbing a cliff is really hard to describe, you climb or not, the fluorescent sea may be there. If you don't climb, you can't shoot. The bet of using your life to make a beautiful view is probably only a crazy landscape photographer! (by Image Dreamer yu Longhai)
Recording fluorescent seas with cameras requires one condition to be kept away from light pollution. The photo shooting method is similar to starry sky photography, with large aperture, high ISO, long exposure, post-stack noise reduction, and increased brightness. Video shooting requires a high-sensitivity camera, a large aperture lens, (this video is shot using the Sony A7S2 Sigma 35/f1.4) high-sensitivity needs to be opened to more than 100,000.

The difficulty of time-lapse shooting is greater, not only to meet all the above conditions, but also the most important point is human interference. The seas where the fluorescent sea appears are relatively fixed and have a small range, with many tourists and photographers. Flashlight, mobile phone light and other kinds of stray light into the lens, camera position is interfered with. Generally, the shooting time required for a set of time-lapse pictures (10 seconds) is more than 2 hours. Often halfway through the shoot, it is disturbed, and the material is wasted.
