It's recommended to use a telephoto lens and shoot from a level angle while standing by the lake, looking straight ahead. Use foreground composition, with the foreground featuring the blurred yellow flowers on the water surface to add depth. The mid-ground should capture the reflection on the lake, and the background should include the distant tower and forest, creating a progressive sense of depth from foreground to background. Travel Tip: Admission is free.
