Qixia Mountain | Capture Unique Shots

Entered through the South Gate, not the West Gate Didn't get a shot of that plaque at all 😓 Snapped some other angles instead 🍁 Most of the maple leaves have turned red, and the ginkgo trees look beautiful too The doorways and eaves are natural viewfinders (pics 2, 3) Captured a tree in front of the hall shining with holy light, stunning (pic 4) · Reflection in the pond at the entrance of Qixia Temple A glance back at the incense burner with smoke rising (pic 5) Behind it is a palette spilled with autumn colors 🎨 Everywhere you look, ancient architecture pairs with red leaves At dusk, caught the moon under the eaves (pic 16) And the faint glow of a small night lamp (pic 17) · Portrait tips 1️⃣ Don’t fear the crowds; shoot the model from a low angle looking up, with the maple leaves fully as the background, avoiding cluttered ground and people (pic 7) 2️⃣ Use a telephoto lens to find a good spot; try the “Yungu Art Museum” location, the photographer crouches in the grass opposite, the model stands on the bridge across, with windows, maple leaves, and foreground, zoom to 200mm (pics 8, 9, 10) 3️⃣ Photographer slightly higher, model lower, maple leaves as a slight foreground, shoot from above for a clean frame that blends person and scenery (pic 11) · 📸 Sony A7C2 📍 Qixia Mountain Scenic Area, Nanjing 📆 2025.11.30 👧🏻
