1. Perspective: The photographer stands near the vegetation on the beach, capturing the shot from a horizontal angle. 2. Composition technique: The rule of thirds is applied, dividing the frame into the foreground vegetation, midground water and buildings, and background sky, creating a balanced and stable image. 3. Lens usage: A mid-telephoto lens is employed to compress space, making the buildings more prominent in the frame and reducing distracting elements. Travel guide: The road that extends into the sea is located at the intersection of Dongjiang Road and Xinyao Road on Hengsha Island. Look for a sign indicating a project department and follow the path until you reach the road by the sea. Shooting suggestion: The sunset time is generally around 5:30 PM, so it's advisable to arrive about 40 minutes earlier. Due to the high number of visitors on holidays, arriving early can help secure the best shooting angles.
