Spring Outing Memoir | The 470-Year-Old Wisteria in Shanghai is in Full Bloom with Attached Guide

| The 470-year-old wisteria in Shanghai is in full bloom with attached guide.🟣 In addition to hydrangeas, Shanghai in April also boasts wisteria flowers. Photographed on April 11th, the wisteria at the Ancient Vine Garden is 470 years old! Compared to some taller wisteria, these hang down, making them very suitable for portrait photography with an ancient flair. Currently, the fallen flowers cover the ground, adding to the ambiance. 💜Touring Tips: ❶ The park is quite small, and you can see the wisteria trellises right at the entrance, two in total. There's also a hydrangea and a pear blossom, small but very photogenic. ❷ Near the lakeside, the wisteria hangs down, and it looks particularly beautiful against the backlight. There's also a small bench by the lakeside wisteria where you can sit. ❸ If you go, it's recommended to get there early or a bit later. We arrived around 4 PM, and by about 5 PM to 6 PM, there were hardly any people. 📸Photography Tips: ❶ Attire and props: Matching the purple wisteria with a fresh, pastoral purple outfit won't go wrong, and you can also pair it with Hanfu or other traditional Chinese clothing. You could carry a small basket; this time I made a flower umbrella, which was very photogenic. ❷ Composition: You can shoot from a level angle or look up. It's recommended to use a telephoto lens to capture children and wisteria in the same frame, and you can also have children pick or blow on the flowers. ❸ Post-processing: In post-processing, I mainly adjusted the purple to increase saturation and brightness, basic color correction to brighten and reduce contrast, and lowered the color temperature. ☔️Alright! The wisteria's blooming period is short, and it's currently in full bloom, so go take photos now! The ground is covered with petals, creating a very atmospheric feel. 📸Camera: Canon R62+rf720 ⏱️Time: 16:00 PM 📍Location: Minhang Ancient Vine Garden 🎫Ticket: Free
