Photography Tips
1. Positioning: The model stands at the edge of the railing on the second floor of the Dragon King Hall, while the photographer takes a side-up shot from the stones, positioning the camera slightly below the model's eye level to create a sense of solemnity and depth. 2. Composition: Use the rule of thirds, placing the model at the one-third point on the right side of the frame, and utilize the symmetrical elements of the architecture to highlight traditional beauty. 3. Lens Usage: Recommend using an 85mm focal length (camera) or a 2x zoom on a phone to compress the space and emphasize the details of the subject and background. 1. Shooting Equipment: Fujifilm XT-5 camera with an 18-55mm lens. 2. Posing: ① The model leans back against the railing, hands resting on the sides of the body. ② The model stands by the railing, slightly leaning forward, with hands stacked on the railing. ③ The model stands by the railing, arms straight, hands resting on the railing. 3. Travel Tips: ① Admission Fee: 20 RMB per person. ② Opening Hours: 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM, last entry at 4:30 PM. 4. Additional Tips: Drive there if possible, or take the subway to Bei'anhe and then a taxi.
