Guangzhou Customs House, a Photo-Taking Guide for Yanjiang West Road~ So Beautiful

The following is a guide to taking photos at the Guangzhou Customs House on Yanjiang West Road: Shooting Time • Daytime: The light is better from 2pm to 5pm, and you can capture the details and three-dimensionality of the architecture. • Evening: Around 5:30pm, you can go to the Renmin Bridge to overlook the sunset over the embankment, and the Guangzhou Customs House has a unique atmosphere in the sunset. • Night: The lights are on from 7pm to 11pm, and the combination of lights and architecture is suitable for night scenes. Shooting Location • At the steps of the main entrance of the Guangzhou Customs House: Standing on the steps with the building as the background, you can shoot upwards to present the towering feeling of the building, which is suitable for taking full-body check-in photos or close-ups. • Side corridor of the Guangzhou Customs House: The arched structure and carvings have a historical charm. Shooting from one end of the corridor to the other, with people walking in the middle, can create a sense of time travel. • Across the road: You can include the Guangzhou Customs House and the street in the picture. When the street lights are on in the evening, the lights of the vehicles complement the architecture, making the picture more layered and narrative. • Renmin Bridge: Standing on the bridge, you can take a panoramic view of the buildings on Shamian Island and the Guangzhou Customs House, or you can use the bridge opening as a foreground to shoot the scenery on the other side. Shooting Tips • Composition method: Use symmetrical composition to place the Guangzhou Customs House in the center of the picture; you can also try foreground composition, using roadside greenery, street lights, etc. as the foreground to increase the layers. • Shooting mode: You can use slow shutter to shoot the traffic flow at night to create a dynamic streamline effect, with parameters such as shutter 1/10 second and aperture F11. • Props and clothing: You can prepare props such as sunglasses and retro bags, and choose cooler or retro-style clothing to match the environment.
