Photography Tips
The model should stand under the peach tree, leaning against the densest branches of flowers. The photographer should position themselves at a 45-degree angle from the model, about 3 meters away, to capture the most flourishing branches of the tree. 1. Photography Equipment: A smartphone can be used, but this photo was taken with a Fuji X-T5 camera and an 18-55mm lens. 2. Photography Poses: ① Spread your arms and look up at the peach blossoms. ② Spread your arms and spin around under the peach tree, allowing the photographer to capture the movement. 3. Travel Tips: The entrance fee is $3 per person. It's recommended to arrive before 8:00 AM, as the place gets increasingly crowded after 10:00 AM.
