Photography Tips
Look for a road with dense cherry blossom trees. The photographer should stand under the cherry blossom trees and shoot upward toward the TV tower. Place the TV tower in the center of the frame, with the cherry blossoms as the foreground, occupying about one-third of the frame, and the sky as the background, occupying about two-thirds of the frame. If you have a telephoto lens, it's recommended to bring it, as using the telephoto range can create a more compressed perspective. 1. Equipment specifications: Nikon Z6 II, lens 28-75mm. 2. Shooting time: It is recommended to start shooting between 7:00-8:00 AM, when the light is softer and the contrast is lower, and there are fewer people, making it easier to capture good shots. You can also shoot during sunset for the golden hour with cherry blossoms in the light, or in the evening for night cherry blossoms. 3. Additional tips: The best time for viewing cherry blossoms is from late March to mid-April, when there are a variety of cherry blossom trees and the reflection of the lake and flowers create a picturesque scene.
