Shanghai's sense of oppression from first-tier cities

Here is a guide to taking photos of the Huangpu River in Shanghai: Shooting locations - The Bund International Architecture Exhibition: In the evening, when the lights are on, the international architecture forms a sharp contrast with the modern skyscrapers of Lujiazui on the other side of the river, making it a classic place to shoot night scenes.  - Waibaidu Bridge: A full steel structure bridge, where you can take beautiful photos of both sides of the Huangpu River. It is also the filming location of Yiping's river jump, and the sunrise is stunning.  - North Bund: Compared to the Bund, there are fewer tourists and many popular spots, such as the uphill road next to Manner, Hongkou Port Bridge, Hong Kong Space, Little Egg, and the former site of the Lester Institute of Technology. - Lujiazui Riverside Avenue: You can take panoramic photos of the Bund, and use long exposure to capture the calm river. You can also use the Oriental Pearl Tower as a background.  - Huangpu River Cruise: On the cruise, you can enjoy the bright lights of the Bund, the magnificent buildings, and the Oriental Pearl Tower, away from the crowds, with a unique shooting angle.  Shooting tips - Use light: The light is soft in the morning and evening, suitable for shooting, and you can take warm-toned photos; at night, use the lighting effects to create a gorgeous atmosphere. - Find a unique angle: Try low-angle or high-angle shots, such as lowering the shooting position on the Bund viewing platform to create a sense of sophistication; use reflection effects, such as shooting on the stone path of the Little Egg on the North Bund, to add a three-dimensional effect to the photo. - Pay attention to composition: Use symmetrical composition, with the Huangpu River or the central axis of the building as the axis of symmetry; use the rule of thirds, placing the subject at the intersection or dividing line to make the picture more harmonious and beautiful. Dressing suggestions - Vintage style: Pair a vintage dress or suit with a hat to echo the European architecture of the Bund and create an atmospheric feel. - Fashion style: Wear fashionable clothes to show your personality, such as trendy suits, uniquely designed tops, etc., which stand out more against the backdrop of modern architecture. - Simple style: A simple white shirt or T-shirt with jeans, fresh and natural, suitable for all kinds of scenes. Precautions - Safety first: The Bund is crowded, so pay attention to the people around you and your belongings when taking photos, and don't get too close to the edge of the river. - Follow the rules: Protect the environment, don't litter, don't damage public facilities, and follow the relevant regulations of the scenic area. - Avoid peak hours: The Bund is crowded during holidays and weekends, so try to go on weekdays or off-peak hours for easy shooting.
