1. Angle: The photographer should choose a level angle, standing at a slight distance from the edge of the flamingo pool to ensure that the width of the frame can accommodate most of the flamingo group. 2. Composition: Use the rule of thirds, placing the flamingo group in the lower two-thirds of the frame while utilizing the background trees and cottages to add depth. 3. Lens Focal Length: It is recommended to use a 35mm-50mm focal length on a camera or 1x-2x zoom on a phone, which allows for capturing details while maintaining a balance between the background and the subject. 4. Viewing Range: Include the green plants and the pool in the foreground, and bring in the forest and a misty effect in the background to enhance the ecological atmosphere. 1. Photography Equipment: Use a Fujifilm XT30 camera with a 15-45mm lens. 2. Travel Tips: Try to avoid peak hours; the best times to visit are from 10-11 AM and from 2 PM onwards.
