I recommend that photographers stand not far from the stone lions and shoot with a slight upward angle; place the stone lions in the center of the frame, and include the sky and the outline of the distant bridge in the background, keeping it simple and uncluttered; a wide-angle lens is suggested for this shot. Admission price: Adults 20 RMB, free for those under 18 and over 60, 10 RMB for college students with a valid ID.

1. Positioning: The photographer stands at the side-front of the model, at about the same height as the model for the shoot. 2. Composition Technique: A shallow depth of field is used, with stone lions and railings on the bridge as background elements. The background is blurred to highlight the model, while using leading lines, such as the extension of the bridge, to guide the viewer's gaze to the model. 3. Lens Usage: A medium telephoto lens is used to compress the space, making the background elements more concentrated. This enhances the overall tightness of the frame and emphasizes the main subject. Travel Tips: ① Admission: 20 yuan (half price for students); ② Opening Hours: 8:30 AM - 5:00 PM (last entry at 4:30 PM); ③ The best time for photos is on a sunny day or at dusk, when the interplay of light and shadow creates a beautiful atmosphere. Other Tips: ① Allow 2-3 hours to fully soak in the historical ambiance; ② The bridge surface

Lugou Bridge - On the ancient bridge

The photographer stands slightly to one side in front of the stone lion, ensuring that the lion and the background stone monument are both in the frame. The composition uses a foreground-background arrangement, with the stone lion in the foreground, clearly showcasing the detailed head carvings. The middle ground includes the complete inscription of "Lugou Bridge" on the stone monument, enhancing the depth of the image. The main subject, the stone lion, the entire stone monument, and parts of the railing and greenery are captured using a telephoto lens to compress the space, making the foreground and background more compact and highlighting the details and historical atmosphere of the relics. Additional tips: Avoid crowds by visiting during off-peak hours.
