Photography Tips
The photographer stands at a distance on one side of the river, shooting horizontally. By using the cherry blossoms in the foreground as a frame, the viewer’s gaze is guided towards the river and the cherry trees on the opposite bank. A wide-angle composition is used to showcase the entire scene. A medium to long telephoto lens is employed to compress the space, making the layers of cherry blossoms and the river more compact. Travel Tips: - Best shooting times: Early morning on weekdays from 7:30 AM to 9:00 AM (for less crowded scenes) or sunny afternoons from 3:00 PM to 5:00 PM (for an oil painting effect). Additional Tips: 1. Arrive early to avoid crowds for better photos. 2. After the streetlights come on, the petals lit by the warm light create a magical effect. Use night mode on your phone and a 3-second long exposure to capture dreamy light spots!
