Photography Tips
The photographer should position themselves at a close distance and low angle in front of the church, looking up; use vertical lines in the composition to emphasize the solemnity with the towering spires and other vertical elements of the church; it is recommended to use a wide-angle lens to capture the entirety of the church and surrounding buildings, using perspective to enhance the sense of height and grandeur of the church. 1. Travel tips: Daily mass at 07:00, and Sunday masses at 07:00, 08:00, and 18:00. 2. Additional experiences: ①The east side of the church is partially blocked by residential buildings, and it takes about 2 hours after sunrise for light to gradually reach the church; in summer, the light might be the best, warmest, and softest around 6 PM, while in winter it might be around 4 PM. ②You can enter the church during mass, but you must adhere to the church's regulations.
