Zhongshan Park, Beijing - Touhu Pavilion Corridor

Positioning: The photographer stands perpendicular to the wall, with a level line of sight to the hanging objects and their projections, capturing the complete layout of the subject and its projection head-on. Composition Technique: Use symmetrical composition, with the hanging objects and their projections echoing each other both vertically and horizontally. The simple wall background highlights the subject’s outline and the relationship between light and shadow. Lens Usage: Use a standard lens to accurately reproduce the subject’s proportions and clearly present the details, allowing the hanging objects, projections, and background elements to blend naturally, ensuring the image is realistic and the sense of space is appropriate.

Travel Tips: 10:00 AM - 1:00 PM; 2:00 PM - 5:00 PM.

The photographer stands beside the guardrail on the north side of the Jinshui River, adopting an eye-level shooting angle. The rule of thirds is applied to frame the composition: horizontally, the sky occupies the upper third of the frame, while the buildings and water take up the lower two-thirds; vertically, the Jinshui River and the guardrails extend along the third lines, guiding the viewer’s attention to the buildings. A standard lens is used to accurately depict the scale of the palace, the Jinshui River, and the surrounding space, showcasing the architectural layout of the Forbidden City.
