The best place to take photos of persimmons in Shanghai

The best place to take pictures of persimmons in Shanghai is the Shanghai Botanical Garden.

Autumn is the season when persimmons mature. The red persimmons hanging on the branches are very festive. Many photography enthusiasts like to take pictures of the persimmons. Although persimmons look beautiful, the branches of the persimmons are messy and the results may not be good when photographed.

If you want to take good-looking photos of persimmons, you must first observe carefully and find the better-looking parts of the persimmon tree to take pictures of. You can find a persimmon tree with a special shape or a bunch of beautiful persimmons for photography. After selecting a bunch of good-looking persimmons as the subject, you also need to choose a clean background. Generally, when the weather is sunny, you can choose the sky as the background.

When shooting, normal exposure can capture a bunch of bright persimmons with the blue sky as the background. If you want to shoot more artistically, you can increase the exposure by one or two stops to overexpose the entire picture. In this way, the blue sky background will turn white, and a red cross with a white background will be photographed.
