Light-colored clothing can better highlight the brilliance of the red flowers, making you a beautiful sight among the blossoms. Of course, Hanfu or cotton and linen long skirts are also good choices, as they can echo the ancient charm of the mountains and fields, adding more artistic conception to the photos. Imagine yourself strolling through the sea of flowers in a Hanfu, like a fairy walking out of an ancient painting. 2️⃣ Best Time to Shoot: Early morning mist or sunset are the best times to take photos. In the early morning, a thin layer of mist fills the mountains, and the azaleas appear faintly in the mist, like a fairyland. The soft light sprinkles on the flowers, making the colors richer and the portraits gentler. At sunset, the golden afterglow casts a romantic and beautiful atmosphere on the sea of flowers and you. 3️⃣ Composition Tips: When taking photos, you can use flower branches as the foreground and blur them to create a sense of depth. Blurring the foreground flower branches highlights the people or scenery in the background, making the photos more vivid and interesting. This spring, let's escape the hustle and bustle of the city and visit Yongquan Town to admire the vibrant spring scenery of azaleas! Here, you can rediscover inner peace and beauty, leaving behind unforgettable memories.
