1. Shooting Angle: The photographer should position themselves at a slight distance and a slightly higher position, shooting from an overhead and eye-level perspective. 2. Composition Techniques: Use frame composition with the ginkgo branches forming a natural frame. Use contrasting composition to create color contrast between the golden ginkgo leaves, the green background, and the black railing. Utilize the rule of thirds, dividing the image into three horizontal sections: the ginkgo branches, the subjects and railing, and the background. 3. Lens Usage: Use a medium to long focal length lens to blur the background, bringing the ginkgo leaves and subjects into sharp focus and compressing the sense of space. 1. Travel Tips: It is recommended to go in the morning as the light in the afternoon is not ideal. 2. Additional Tips: The trees are mostly located on both sides of Yuyuantan Park and are surrounded by fences, but you can still enter the area.

Stand at one end of the road and shoot parallel to the ground, with the perspective extending along the row of ginkgo trees. Use leading lines in the composition, with the road and the ginkgo trees on either side serving as natural guides to draw the viewer's eye into the depth of the scene, enhancing the sense of depth. Employ a symmetrical composition, with the ginkgo trees neatly lined up on both sides of the road, creating a balanced and orderly visual effect. In terms of color, let the golden leaves, fallen leaves on the ground, and the yellow walls complement each other, forming a harmonious and warm-toned image.
