Position the camera at a slightly lower or equal height to the sea of flowers, with the summer Milky Way rising in the northeast and setting in the southwest as the background. Use a wide-angle lens with a focal length of 14mm or less to capture the sea of flowers and the Milky Way in the same frame. Focus on the stars to capture the grandeur of the Milky Way, and focus on the flowers to create the atmosphere of a summer sea of flowers and starry sky. Additional advice: There is a large temperature difference between day and night in the mountains, so be sure to keep warm.
