Use a frame composition with tree branches and leaves naturally enclosing the scene to highlight the central figure and lake view. The models should be seated side by side in the center of the frame, facing away from the camera and looking towards the lake, with natural poses. Recommend using a wide-angle or phone 1x lens to capture the expansive scene.

Travel Tip: Entrance Fee: Free.

It's recommended to shoot in the early morning or around 3:00 PM to 4:00 PM when the light perfectly illuminates the cherry blossoms. When photographing, don't open the aperture too wide; focus on the flowers beside the round arch, using the flowers in front as the foreground.

1. Equipment settings: Sony A7m3, lens 28-75.
2. Travel tips: Many cherry blossoms have already fallen in the cherry orchard, so only the two trees near the entrance are still worth photographing.
