Water towns and ancient towns have always been places that people yearn for, it is fireworks in March and April, when willows sprout and spring flowers bloom, it is undoubtedly a good travel choice to go to the ancient town water town to shoot and shoot and check in.
However, for photographers, how to shoot in the ancient water town to have new ideas?
There are a lot of shooting and composition methods on the Internet: for example, shooting the night scene of the ancient water town, shooting the fireworks of the residents of the town, and shooting the Hui architecture of the ancient town... Most of the time we go to shoot, we choose sunny days, but if you happen to encounter "cloudy and rainy" weather, then try to shoot "Jiangnan Smoke and Rain".
The following diagram describes the process for reference:
First of all, when you come to the intersection where there are more people and more traffic, choose the intersection of the two bridges, the 15th end of the 15-35 focal section, and just put the two bridges into the frame.
The second is to wait for a suitable time, the best opportunity is when there is a lot of traffic, especially when the umbrella and clothing are bright, pressing the shutter will make the picture more vivid.
The third is the exposure time of the shutter, choose the "slow speed" exposure, the speed of the flow of people in this place is about 10 or so seconds. If it's fast, the characters don't have movement. Slowly, the character will blur to the point of "disappearing". (Figure 1)

Figure 2, coming to the opposite side of the bridge, also used the same method to get this photo. It's a pity that the bridge on the left is not as good as the bridge on the right, because the bridge deck on the right has a lot of blank space, which can form a contrast and make the characters more prominent.

If you shoot on a rainy day in Jiangnan, there are taller buildings next to it that you can go up and shoot with a slow door from top to bottom, and those moving, colorful umbrellas and raincoats will definitely have a better effect.
