I recommend using a wide-angle lens for your photos. For composition, a central framing technique is suggested, placing the subjects at the bottom center of the frame, with their backs to the camera to create a natural visual guide. The shooting angle should be slightly elevated, using an upward angle to incorporate more of the sky and clouds, enhancing the openness and depth of the scene. For posing, consider referencing family photos or choosing from a variety of travel photo poses to find one that suits you best.

The photographer shoots from a high vantage point using a wide-angle composition to capture the full view of the train and the surrounding mountains and forests. A telephoto lens is used to compress the space, clearly showing the details of the train and the surrounding vegetation. Travel Tip: The best time for photography is from late March to early April.
