Zhongshan Park - South Gate Sculpture in Beijing

The photographer stands on this side of the window, in a similar plane to the window frame, shooting at eye level. By using the geometric shape of the window as a frame, the elements outside the window, such as people, blooming branches, and the background, are composed within the frame. A medium to long focal length lens, such as a 70-200mm, can compress the space, making the elements within the frame appear more compact while blurring the background to highlight the subject.

1. Equipment Settings: It is recommended to use a 24-70mm lens.
2. Travel Tips: Tickets can be purchased directly for 3 RMB per ticket.
3. Additional Tips: The best time to see the plum blossoms is from late March to early April. Don’t miss it!

Zhongshan Park in Beijing - Ginkgo Trees in Front of the Red Archway

The photographer stands slightly to the left or right, using a frame-within-a-frame technique, with the window of a Chinese-style building framing the blooming pink cherry blossoms. Using a medium telephoto lens, the subject is emphasized with a blurred background, creating an elegant and classical spring atmosphere.

1. Equipment: A camera with a 50mm prime lens is ideal for producing a blurred background and prominent subject. For smartphone users, using the large aperture mode can also create a highly atmospheric shot.
2. Poses:
① Stand under the cherry blossom tree and tilt your head slightly upward.
② Alternatively, gently pick up fallen petals, hold them in your hand, and look down.
③ You can also lean against a white wall, turning sideways.
3. Best Time to Shoot: Early morning or evening when the light is soft, making it perfect for photos. Especially around 7 AM, the slanted morning light makes the dew on the petals sparkle like diamonds, creating particularly stunning shots.

Using symmetrical composition, the reflection of the bridge and the main bridge are presented in an up-down symmetry, enhancing the balance of the frame.

1. Equipment settings: Use a 70-200mm lens with the aperture set between f2.8 and f5.6, adjusting the shutter speed according to the available light.
