Photography Tips
The model sits by the wall, while the photographer stands under a tree, slightly tilting the camera up for a level shot. The composition follows the rule of thirds, placing the model in the lower left third of the frame. The branches are used to form a natural frame, and a 50mm lens (or 2x on a phone) is used to compress the background and highlight the subject, avoiding a cluttered composition. 1. Equipment: Fujifilm XT5. 2. Park Information: The park is open from 6:00 AM to 9:30 PM, with the last entry at 9:00 PM. 3. Dress Code: It is recommended to wear traditional Hanfu or a cheongsam.
