1. Shooting Angle: The photographer should stand on one side of the wooden walkway, crouch down slightly, and take a level shot to highlight the vertical lines of the water fir trunks. 2. Composition: Use the rule of thirds, with the tree trunks and people occupying the main and lower-middle parts of the frame, respectively, to enhance the sense of depth. Include a low fog effect in the foreground, emphasize the water fir trunks in the mid-ground, and retain the layered green leaves of the forest in the background for a deep, distant feel. 3. Lens Focal Length: Use a 50mm focal length or the 2x zoom on a smartphone to compress the space and create a more compact and focused image. Travel Tips: ① The fog spray is active on Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays from 9:00 to 10:00 AM. ② Choose a day with good weather; the sunlight will slant through the fog, creating a beautiful beam of light effect known as the Tyndall effect.
