The photographer stands at a slight distance on the opposite bank of the river, shooting horizontally. With the small boat with a canopy on the river as the foreground, the composition uses the foreground to highlight the white-walled and black-tiled residential buildings in the middle ground. The picture adopts the rule of thirds, reasonably dividing the buildings and the water surface. A medium telephoto lens is used to clearly display the details of the water town buildings and their reflections in the water. Travel Tips: It is recommended to go early when there are fewer people, which is more likely to produce good photos.
