Harbin officials come and get the picture｜Just say you took it

It’s not that you can’t afford to go to Russia, but Harbin is more worth visiting! Save this nanny-level guide to "shooting locations that avoid crowds + night portraits", and even novices can take high-quality photos! 📸Remember these amazing camera positions👇 📍[Harbin Saint Sophia Cathedral·Secret Camera Position] 1️⃣[High Point Camera Position] The stone piers on both sides of the church are actually the hidden C position! Don’t miss the stone pillars on both sides of the gate! Use your hands and feet to climb up and sit firmly, turn on the wide-angle mode and shoot upward, instantly unlocking the perspective of looking up at God, capturing the entire church dome in the lens, and taking photos of the 2.8-meter-long legs in minutes! (Tip: Try to sit in a relaxed position to look slimmer.) 2️⃣【Internet celebrity arched window】Textbook-level check-in posture revealed! This is how to enjoy the popular golden check-in spot! Get into the inner railing of the arch and let the carved window frame naturally form a picture-in-picture composition. Turn sideways at 45 degrees and support your chin to make your face look super small! (Tips: It is recommended to take photos in the early morning or at sunset. The holy light through the stained glass windows will automatically illuminate you.) 3️⃣【Fairy Tale Bench】Get the movie-like feeling like this! The mint green bench on the right side of the square is a treasure! Just sit back and open a book, and let the church spire gently peek out from over your shoulders, as if you are in a magical world! (Tips: remember to put your legs sideways to make them look longer, and hold a coffee cup to make you look more relaxed.) 4️⃣【Secret Bridge Hole】A magical view away from the crowds! Walk across the square and go right to find the secret base! Sitting on the mottled stone bridge pier and shooting from a slight upward angle with a 2.5x focal length, you can frame the panoramic view of the church while blurring out the passers-by in the background. (Tip: You can also capture reflections in the water from this angle, which will definitely amaze your friends.) 5️⃣【Advanced Position】Unlock an exclusive God's Perspective! There are steps for niche camera positions hidden next to the bridge! Hold on to the steps with both hands and ask the photographer to step back three meters to shoot from a low angle. You will be surprised to find yourself standing shoulder to shoulder with the church spire! Stand firmly and hold on to the light before posing, so you can take safe and beautiful photos! (Tips: Sisters wearing skirts should be careful not to expose themselves.) 💡Tips: The golden time is after the church lights up at 21:00! Hagia Sophia
