It is recommended to use a wide-angle lens to capture the Hundred Steps Cloud Ladder at the bottom, highlighting its silhouette. Make sure the stars occupy more than two-thirds of the frame to emphasize the grandeur and depth of the night sky. Consider shooting from a low angle, slightly lowering the camera position, to make the bizarre rocks appear as if they are standing amidst the stars, adding layers and impact to the image. Using a tripod for long exposure shots is suggested to ensure the stars are clear while maintaining the details of the rocks without them being too dark. Travel Tips: It’s best to avoid areas with bright light sources and choose a clear, moonless night.

Suggest the model stand in front of the stone railing, leaning sideways against it and looking towards the mountains, maintaining a natural pose. The photographer should use an upward angle, placing the person slightly to the right of the center of the frame. Include a pine tree on the right side and leave room for the mountains and misty clouds on the left, forming a rule of thirds composition. The scene should include the stone railing in the foreground, the person in the midground, and the mountains and sky in the background to enhance the sense of depth. Recommend using a standard lens and adjust the exposure to avoid overexposure of the sky.

The photographer shoots from the top of the stairs, looking down, with the model positioned at the center of the lower part of the frame, holding hands and walking towards the railing with their backs to the camera.

The model is placed at the lower one-third of the frame, while the background of layered mountains and blue sky occupies the upper two-thirds, balancing the composition. The scene includes the railing and stone pavement of the viewing platform in the foreground, enhancing the sense of space. A wide-angle lens is used to fully capture the magnificence of the mountains and the surrounding atmosphere. Outfit Suggestion: It’s recommended to wear traditional Hanfu.

Use a bird's-eye view angle with the sun positioned at the top of the frame, while the silhouettes of the mountains create a layered composition at the bottom, enhancing the depth of the image. The shot should include the sunrise sky with its gradient, the silhouette of the nearby mountains, and the layers of distant peaks, preserving the color transitions and details. When shooting against the light, adjust the exposure to prevent the sun from being overexposed while maintaining the silhouette of the mountains. Additional tips: Bring some snacks and water to replenish your energy during the hike.
