Using the rule of thirds for composition, place the magnolia flowers on the left third and the eaves of the palace on the right third to create a balanced and layered image. Use a 24-70mm focal length lens with an aperture of f5.6 - f8.0 to ensure harmonious proportions and sharp details.

1. Travel tips: Mid-March to early April is the peak blooming season when the flowers are at their best. It is recommended to shoot before 10 a.m. or after 4 p.m. when the light is soft, resulting in better photos.

2. Other experiences: The ancient architecture is intertwined with blooming magnolias, with red walls and palaces complementing the abundant flowers. The sense of historical depth perfectly blends with the freshness of spring, creating a long-lasting and charming scene. Strolling through the garden, every casual snapshot captures a stunning masterpiece.

The photographer stands beneath the Acer truncatum tree, using a low-angle shot to let the thick branches extend from the top of the frame to the surroundings, creating a leading line composition that highlights the strength of the branches and the color layers of the maple leaves. The shot should include golden and red maple leaves, interlaced branches, and a portion of the blue sky to enhance the sense of transparency.

Admission fee: 2 yuan.

The model squats at the edge of the lawn, while the photographer stands slightly higher and shoots from above with a moderate angle, employing the rule of thirds composition. The model is positioned slightly to the right of the center of the frame, with a large area of lawn space on the left to increase the balance and ambient atmosphere of the image. A 24mm lens on a camera/1x on a smartphone is used, providing a wider angle that integrates the subject with the surroundings, suitable for expressing the openness of a natural scene.

Photography pose: The model faces slightly to the right and turns slightly to the side, holding a coffee cup naturally, enhancing the lifelike and storytelling atmosphere of the image.
