Lhasa classic photography

1, "ID photo" Angle position: As the name implies, the "ID photo" angle of the central axis of Potala Palace Square is a photo taken from the front. From the perspective of "ID photo" of Potala Palace, the best shooting place is of course in Potala Palace Square. There is a nameplate engraved with the altitude of Lhasa in the middle of the square, where you can take the "ID photo" of Potala Palace. When the weather is fine, it is still a standard blue background photo. On National Day, Spring Festival, Tibetan New Year and other festivals, you can also put the flower baskets in the square into the lens. It is also a good choice to shoot monuments and fountains from this angle. Step back, the fountain will be photographed with Potala Palace, but the photography requirements are higher. This position is also suitable for shooting night scenes.

2. Perfect reflection angle position: the east side of Potala Palace enters Potala Palace Square from the entrance opposite Lhasa Department Store, and walks for tens of meters. There is a wide water surface in the south, which is an excellent position to shoot the reflection of Potala Palace Square. You don't need a SLR, and you can take beautiful photos regardless of composition. Suitable for day and night. When shooting at night, you can check the lighting time of Potala Palace in advance, and shoot the most beautiful when the lights are just on and there is still a corner in the sky. In winter, this position can only take a panoramic view of Potala Palace, and there is no reflection, because the water will freeze. Therefore, it is also important to choose the right season.

? 3. Angle and location of RMB "50 yuan coupon": Yaowangshan observation deck. Take out the RMB 50 coupon and you will see the familiar Potala Palace. It is said that Wu's angle of collecting coupons is on the roof of a house. Basically, it is the angle of Yaowangshan observation deck, which is the classic angle of shooting Potala Palace. You will see a lot of people holding five dollars and comparing them. Here, you can also shoot the sunrise and the traffic at night, and you can also take the white tower with you when shooting the composition, which is very beautiful. The observation deck is open from 9:00- 17:00 (it may be adjusted), so be sure to arrange the time carefully. If you shoot at night, you'd better take a tripod. Also be careful not to climb the white tower to find an angle, which is forbidden!

4. Perspective position of Jinding: When visiting Jokhang Temple, you can climb the Jinding of Jokhang Temple and look west. You can see that the Potala Palace is located on the red hill, which is even more magnificent against the backdrop of many buildings in Lhasa. It's time to test photography. If you are good at photography, you can shoot some Jinding and Potala Palace. Looking forward to the work of this great god.

? 5. "First Angle" Location: Lhasa River Bridge Many people first saw Potala Palace when the train passed Lhasa River Bridge or the bus passed Lhasa River Bridge. In the city, the Potala Palace is located on the red hill, which is higher than all the buildings and very conspicuous. The Lhasa River is sparkling and beautiful against the setting sun. Waterbirds that fly occasionally, or yaks that walk by the river, can shoot large films. Transportation: You can take bus 1 heading for the railway station, get off at Lhasa River Bridge and walk on the bridge.

? 6. "The Angle Outside the Inn Window" The shadow of Potala Palace can be seen outside the windows of many inns and hostels, and the famous Pingcuo has viewing rooms. You can check online yourself. Some places are a little expensive, but you can see the Potala Palace as soon as you look up. It's worth it. ?
