The photographer adopts a low angle shot, standing at a lower position in front of the Jing'an Temple. It is recommended to use a wide-angle lens. The composition should include the golden roof and white railings of the temple in the foreground, while the background retains the modern skyscrapers and cloudy sky, creating a contrast between the ancient and the modern. The main building should be centered, ensuring that the roof details and the outlines of the skyscrapers are clear, enhancing the depth of the image.

Travel Tips: Admission is 50 RMB.

Using a centered composition, the photographer places the golden lion capitals at the center of the frame to highlight the main details. Shooting from a low angle emphasizes the three-dimensional and grand nature of the capitals. The shot includes the wooden eaves of the ancient building and green leaves on the right side, adding depth to the environment. The background is blurred to clearly showcase the texture of the capitals.

The photographer stands on the street in front of the cafe, using a slightly upward shooting angle to place the “Three Tones Half” wooden sign in the upper left of the frame, highlighting the texture of the red brick wall. The model is positioned in the lower middle of the frame. The composition uses leading lines, with the street extending to the right to enhance the sense of depth, and incorporates street trees and passersby in the background to add to the street scene atmosphere. 

1. Outfit suggestion: Wear more fashionable clothing.
2. Other tips: Yuyuan Road is currently on the rise as a trendy spot, so it’s recommended to avoid peak hours.

The model should run or pose cutely on the path behind the flowers, focusing on capturing her backside without looking at the camera. The photographer should stand diagonally opposite to shoot, using a phone camera with a 3x zoom. The flowers should occupy the lower right portion of the frame, with the buildings in the background visible. Adding a vivid filter in post-processing will enhance the look.

Travel Tips:
① The exhibition center often hosts events that may take over the venue, so be sure to check for any scheduled events before heading out for photos.
② The daisies have a long blooming period. The weather has been great lately, so it’s a good time to visit. They will be in bloom throughout the summer.
