Photography Tips

Capture a richly layered photograph with a small boat on the lake, willow trees by the shore, and an ancient bridge in the foreground, while the ancient buildings illuminated by distant lights serve as the background. Place the main subject along the one-third line of the frame. Use the reflection on the water for symmetrical composition, blending reality and reflection to enhance the visual beauty of the image. 1. Equipment and Settings: ① Use the flash on your phone or camera. When photographing a person, keep them 2-3 meters away from the light source. The flash will illuminate the person’s face while preserving the beautiful night scenery behind, creating a clear foreground and a dreamy, blurred background. ② For architectural or landscape photography, use a slow shutter speed combined with a flash. The slow shutter speed captures the motion of the night scene, while the flash freezes the moment, enriching the details of the photo. 2. Travel Tips: ① Best shooting time: 7-9 PM. By this time, it is completely dark, and the lights along the shore are fully lit, creating a stunning interplay of lake reflections and lighting, enhancing the overall atmosphere.
