Hangzhou Yin – rooftop pool & sky

Capture an aerial view from a high angle that includes a colorful sunset sky, city skyline, rivers, and green spaces, ensuring a balanced proportion between the sky and the ground. Use the rule of thirds to compose the shot, with the sky's clouds and ground features echoing each other to enhance the sense of depth. Suggest adjusting exposure or turning on HDR to prevent overexposure of the sky while retaining details on the ground.

Other suggestions: Shoot during the early morning or at dusk to take advantage of the soft light and mist, which can add atmosphere and depth to the image.

The photographer chose a riverside location to present a flat view of the fusion of architecture, bridges, river channels, and night lights, using the extension of the river to enhance the sense of depth. By employing a reflection composition, the symmetry between the bridges, buildings, and their reflections on the water balances the visual effect. A wide-angle lens was used to capture the entire scene of buildings, bridges, and river channels, showcasing the grand night view of Qianjiang New City.

Travel Tips: It is recommended to shoot in the evening, as the combination with the lights will yield better photos.
