Photography Tips
The model stands close to the stone railing, while the photographer positions themselves diagonally in front of the model, about 1 meter away (too many people to get closer, adjusting the composition through the zoom). The photo captures the hanging white peach blossoms and the small seven-arch bridge in the distance. 1. Photography Equipment: This photo was taken with a Fuji XT5 camera + 18-55mm lens. 2. Photography Poses: ① Slightly turn the body, fold the arms across the chest, tilt the head slightly upward, and look sideways toward the lake. ② Side to the camera, place both hands on the stone railing, tilt the head slightly upward, and look toward the lake. 3. Travel Tips: Admission is $20 per person, and it's recommended to arrive before 8:00 AM, as the crowd will be large after 10:00 AM.
