How can you not visit romantic Harbin this winter!

Photography guide for Harbin Pharmaceutical Group Sixth Factory:

Preparation

- Equipment: Bring a camera, phone, etc., and spare batteries and memory cards. A wide-angle lens can capture the whole building, while a telephoto lens can capture details.
- Clothing: Wear warm clothes such as thick down jackets in winter, and choose brightly colored clothes to contrast with the building; wear light and comfortable clothes that match the European architectural style in other seasons.

Time

- Morning: 9:00–11:00, when the light is sufficient and soft, the building is evenly lit, and the color reproduction is high.
- Afternoon: Around 3:00 pm on a sunny day is better, when the sun is slanting, creating a light and shadow effect and making the building more layered.

Shooting location

- Under the overpass across the road: Stand under the overpass across the road from the southeast gate of Harbin Pharmaceutical Group Sixth Factory to shoot the panoramic view of the building, and use elements such as fences and traffic lights to add richness to the picture.
- Factory square: Take a photo with the golden carriage statue as the background to capture the European style; you can also take a close-up of the building or take a photo with the golden onion dome house.
- Inside the building: The crystal chandelier and exquisite murals in the lobby on the first floor are worth photographing; when there are few people, the corridors on the fifth and fourth floors can create a sense of extension and artistic atmosphere.

Shooting skills

- Use the foreground: Use street lamps, pillars, fences, etc. as the foreground to increase the layering and depth of field of the picture.
- Try shooting upwards: Next to the building or at the iron gate, shoot upwards from a low angle to highlight the grandeur and splendor of the building.
- Capture details: Take close-up shots of details such as Roman columns, carvings, and murals to show the exquisite craftsmanship of the building.

Poses

- Interactive poses: Pretend to wait for a car on the side of the road, or interact with the traffic lights to take natural and vivid photos.
- Walking poses: In the corridor of the Print Museum, you can relax and take pictures while walking to capture natural movements.
- Standing poses: Stand on the steps of the golden building opposite the golden carriage, or pose next to the pavilion.
