1. Shooting Angle: The photographer stands beside the red wall, shooting at a horizontal angle. 2. Composition Techniques: Using light and shadow to compose the scene, the shadows of tree branches are projected onto the red wall, adding depth and interest to the image. A minimalist composition is adopted, with the red wall, bench, and ground elements kept simple to highlight the light and shadow effects. Leading lines are also used, with the extension of the red wall and the arrangement of benches guiding the viewer’s gaze. 3. Lens Recommendation: Use a standard lens to clearly capture the texture of the red wall, the details of the shadows, and the style of the bench. Travel Tips: ① Admission: 3 RMB per person. Reserve through the WeChat Official Account “Changyou Park” or buy tickets on-site at the East Gate or West Gate. ② Recommended shooting times: Before 10 AM or after 4 PM for softer light.
