Photography Tips
The photographer stands on the stairs, capturing both the pine tree and the hall within the frame. 1. Composition: Use the trunk of the pine tree as the foreground and the hall as the background. You can apply the "rule of thirds" by placing the pine tree on one side of the frame and the hall on the other, creating visual depth. 2. Shooting Angle: Shoot from a low angle, looking up from beneath the tree, to blend the tall pine with the roof of the hall, adding a sense of grandeur to the image. 3. Level Framing: Shoot from a distance in the pine forest, using the contrast between the tree shadows and the hall to highlight the combination of rustic charm and grandeur. Travel Tips: ① Morning: The soft light is perfect for capturing clear and detailed photos. ② Evening: The golden light of the sunset creates a beautiful interplay between the hall and the pine trees, enhancing the artistic atmosphere.
