Walk along the lakeside path with light steps and explore this dreamland. Along the way, you will encounter swans in various shapes. Some are foraging, while others are flying high. Every scene is mesmerizing.
Walking into Swan Lake Wetland Park is like stepping into a beautiful painting. The trees are lush, and the air is filled with the fragrance of flowers, making you feel relaxed and happy.
Photo tips:
1. Choose the golden hour: The light is softest in the early morning and evening, making it the best time for photography. At this time, the sunlight shines on the lake, creating a shimmering effect that complements the swans' white feathers, making the composition more vivid.
2. Use natural elements: The trees, flowers, rocks, and other elements around Swan Lake are excellent props for photography. You can stand by the lake with trees as the background or sit on a rock and let the camera capture your harmony with nature.
3. Capture dynamic moments: Swans swimming and playing on the lake often make for lively photos. You can set up your camera in advance and wait for the moment when the swans leap out of the water or spread their wings, then press the shutter.
