Photography Tips
The photographer stands in front of the lawn, using central composition to place the bench at the center of the frame, shooting from a low angle. 1. Equipment settings: Fuji xh2s, 18-55mm lens. 2. Photography poses: ① Sitting on the bench is the most classic pose; ② Standing in front of the bench with hands in pockets also has a unique charm; ③ Standing sideways in front of the bench, touching the branches above the head with one hand, this pose is quite atmospheric. 3. Suggested shooting time: It's best to go on a sunny afternoon, between 14:00-16:00. Sunny days will bring light and shadow, and the wall in front will shimmer, as if it's a sea.
