Photography Tips
The photographer stands at the lower level of the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests and uses an upward angle to highlight the solemnity of the hall while complementing the elegance of the subject. It is recommended to use a telephoto lens to compress the depth of field, causing the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests to blur and form a soft background. This will emphasize the subject and the delicate texture of the white marble railing. In terms of composition, the subject should be placed in the center of the frame, with the railing horizontally dividing the image to enhance structural feel and visual balance. 1. Pose Suggestions: Try various poses, such as leaning slightly forward with both hands crossed on the railing and looking naturally at the camera, or resting a hand on the railing and facing away, looking into the distance to create a atmospheric feeling. For group photos, everyone can wave to the camera and smile. 2. Travel Tips: ① Ticket Price: 28 RMB; ② Opening Hours: Peak season is from 6:00 AM to 10:00 PM, but note that the internal attractions open from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM (last entry at 5:30 PM). Off-peak season is from 8:00 AM to 5:30 PM (last entry at 5:00 PM). Plan your visit accordingly. 3. Dress Code: To better highlight the subject and blend with the ancient architecture, it is recommended to wear solid-colored clothing, especially dark shades, which will enhance the shooting effect.
