The following is a photography guide for the ancient town: * * 1. Pre-shooting preparation ** 1. * * Confirm theme and elements of the era ** - The ancient town had a strong historical atmosphere, and the photography theme could be determined according to its historical characteristics. For example, China had a long history, so one could choose a dignified and elegant Tang costume portrait (suitable for shooting in places with Tang culture such as Tang Furong Garden), a delicate and moving Han costume portrait, or a cheongsam portrait with the style of the Republic of China, a red-themed military portrait, and other different eras. Different topics required different props and environments. 2. * * Understand the old town ** - Before filming, one had to first understand the history and culture of the ancient town and know its uniqueness, such as the elegance of Hui style houses, the tranquility of Jiangnan water towns, or the disorder of Miao ancient towns. This way, he could be more clear about the content he wanted to shoot and find a unique style to use photography techniques to express it. 3. * * Research excellent works ** - For unfamiliar ancient town attractions, first search for excellent photos on the Internet to determine the shooting elements, composition, color tone, etc. You can even imitate the shooting position and composition of excellent people. * * 2. Techniques in Shooting ** 1. * * Choose shooting environment and props ** - There were many old towns and ancient streets in China during the Ming and Qing Dynasties and the Republic of China. The style of the Republic of China was suitable for shooting red-themed military portraits and cheongsam portraits; the well-preserved scenic spots and historic sites were suitable for shooting Tang costumes or Han costumes. They could also use the antique buildings in the film and television bases and retro venues. According to the theme of the shoot, the model could be matched with clothes and props. For example, when shooting the portrait of the cheongsam of the Republic of China, the model could hold an oil-paper umbrella and a small suitcase; when shooting the Tang suit or Han suit, the model could wear a step shake on the head, hold a round fan or silk handkerchief, etc. 2. * * Composing Skills ** - * * Using the elements of the ancient town to compose a picture ** - Look for the iconic elements of the ancient town, such as bridges, archways, etc. When shooting a bridge, you can use the background composition (with trees lining the bridge), perspective composition (decorated with boats), frame composition (reflecting the ancient city), etc. When shooting an arch, you can enlarge the picture and use the arch to form a frame composition to create a sense of artistic conception. - There were also many ways to compose a character in the picture. For example, standing in the middle of the ancient alley, zooming in the picture by 2 times, moving up the camera angle to form a guide line, and taking a picture of the character walking in the middle; Squatting down and zooming in the picture by 2 times, making the eaves form a guide line to make the picture feel extended; Moving the subject to the side to enlarge the picture by 2 times, the character and the ancient town each occupied half of the picture; Moving the character away from the camera, using 3x focal length to move up the shooting angle, the character stood at the visual vanishing point of the picture; Move to the side to shoot, avoid unnecessary people, put the people in the golden ratio point and slightly enlarge the picture; Raise the shooting angle to avoid overlapping the people with the background, and the people in the next frame of the picture; Find a suitable object as the front, and use the portrait mode to blur the background. 3. * * Use of Light and Shadow ** - * * Light direction **: It is better to shoot ancient buildings with side light. That is, the direction of light is at a certain angle with the camera's framing direction. It can make the contrast between the light and dark of the object obvious, and highlight the three-dimensional and texture. At the same time, it can slightly increase the K value to make the picture appear warm. - * * Use of light at different times **: The morning sun shines on the ancient town with a warm tone; the golden light under the setting sun shines on the water with a gentle feeling of the water town; at night, the low K value can be adjusted. With the white balance shift function, the cold and warm tones can be combined to express the tranquility and joy of the ancient town. 4. * * Capture the cultural elements ** - In ancient town photography, the living conditions of the local residents were also very good subjects to shoot. By integrating the characters with the environment of the ancient town, such as comparing the children playing with the old house, the old man washing clothes by the river, etc., it could give the ancient town more life and capture the soul of the ancient town. * * 3. Retouching after shooting ** 1. * * Color adjustment ** - Different shooting topics had different retouching styles. The style of the Republic of China was mostly nostalgic. The overall color tone was mainly retro, and the old photo effect or dark effect could be used to interpret the spy style of the Republic of China. The color tone of the photos with the theme of Tang suit and Han suit could be made bright and delicate. 2. * * Modifications to specific parameters ** - For example, filter-Midnight Paris, light sensitivity-10, color temperature +10, sharpening +10, shadow-5, saturation +5, hue-20, structure +20, fade +5, or filter-Leca II, light sensitivity-15, brightness +10, contrast-5, saturation +5, curve color: film, green: hue +60, saturation +50, lightness-40, yellow: Hue +50, Saturation-60, Brightness-50, Brilliance-15, Shadow +5, Color temperature +15, etc. Read more exciting novels for free

The name of the ancient town of Meicheng was related to its ancient city walls. A section of the city wall near the river was built in the shape of a plum blossom, hence the name Plum Blossom City, also known as Plum City for short. It was known as "Two and a half plum blossoms in the world, one in Beijing, one in Nanjing, and half in Yanzhou (Plum City)". From a historical point of view, Mei City had a deep foundation. During the Three Kingdoms period, Jiande County was set up in Mei City, where the ancient Muzhou Prefecture and the ancient Yanzhou Prefecture were located. For a long time in history, Mei City was ruled by Muzhou. During the Northern Song Dynasty, Fang La, a native of Qingxi County (now Chun'an) in Muzhou, rebelled and established the capital in Muzhou. After it was wiped out by Song Jiang, Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty thought that the people of Muzhou were not harmonious and renamed it Yanzhou. This place was also connected to many famous historical figures. Du Mu, Fan Zhongyan, and Lu You were all officials here. Wu Zixu, Zhu Maichen, Yan Guang, Jiang Gongwang, Xie Lingyun, Meng Haoran, Liu Changqing, Zhu Xi, Pan Tianshou, etc. They were either officials here, came here to give lectures, or lived in seclusion. They left behind many stories in Mei City. It was once an important center of Zhejiang. It was originally the seat of the government of Yanzhou Prefecture in Zhejiang Restaurant. It was the political, cultural, commercial, and shipping center of tens of thousands of square kilometers in Zhejiang. It had been the seat of the state capital for more than 1,300 years since the early Tang Dynasty. During the Ming Dynasty, Yanzhou was the place where the country's high-end talents were sent out. The success of the imperial examinations had led to many top scholars, scholars, and juren in Yanzhou Prefecture. They had even built dozens of memorial archways for this purpose. There were many tourist attractions in the ancient town of Meicheng. When we walked into the ancient town, the first thing we saw was the quaint streets and well-arranged buildings. Walking along the stone path, one could feel the tranquility and peace of the ancient town. The Si Fan Archway, Jiande Marquis Square, Minggui Qingke, Liuhe Ancient Well, etc. were all good places to visit the ancient times and seek victory. Climbing up the ancient city wall that was shaped like a half plum blossom, the scenery under the setting sun was particularly magnificent. Take a rowing boat along the ancient water system to visit the waterscape of the ancient cities such as East Lake, West Lake, and Songjia Lake, and you can enjoy the unique style of the water town. Strolling along the streets of the ancient city of Meicheng, the memorial archway, market, ancient buildings and other scenic spots were also worth admiring. I hope that everyone can enjoy this trip in the ancient town of Meicheng and experience the unique charm of the ancient town.
