Photography Tips
Utilize the crevices of the wind cave boulders and the background forest to create a sense of depth. Position the subject next to the rock, with crossed arms to show a relaxed posture, or lean against the rock and take natural steps. Capture the boulder crevices and the subject in a medium shot to highlight the beauty of nature, and also use close-ups of the subject's expressions paired with details of the boulders. Opt for a simple, everyday style of clothing that matches the atmosphere of the landscape. Avoid the harsh midday light and choose to shoot before 12 PM or after 4 PM to use the soft light to capture the unique atmosphere of the boulders blending with nature. Check-in tips: Operating hours: High season 8:30 AM - 6:00 PM, Low season 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM, no entry after 4:00 PM. Photo poses: 1. Stroll slowly on the path between the boulder crevices, with feet naturally apart, one hand lightly resting on the adjacent rock, and the other hand casually extended, allowing a sense of ease to blend into the landscape of mountains, water, and rocks. 2. Face the wind cave boulder crevices, with one hand gently supporting the rock and the other hand pointing towards the distant forest, with your gaze following the direction of your finger, instantly enhancing the atmosphere. 3. Stand sideways against the rock, with one foot slightly bent, hand lightly touching the edge of the boulder, and a slight tilt of the body, making the image immediately lively.
