Tips for “Hunting” Beautiful Photos on Nami Island in Autumn
- Go early in the day: Around 8 – 9 am, the sunlight is still gentle, the space is deserted, making it easy to capture clear frames with rows of red and yellow leaves stretching along both sides of the road.
- Choose a shooting angle along the tree line: The ginkgo road and the maple trees are the two most famous “backgrounds”. Taking a shooting angle along the tree line helps the photo have depth and highlight the autumn colors.
- Wear clothes in the right color: White, beige, brown, or navy blue tones will make you stand out against the bright yellow leaves. Avoid wearing too bright colors that can easily “sink” into the scene.
- Take advantage of falling leaves: Don’t just take photos while standing still, try tossing a few leaves up, or sit in the middle of a carpet of fallen leaves for a natural and romantic photo.
- Bonus points – take photos on wooden bridges and riverbanks: These are places that are less crowded than the main road, have beautiful light, and have water reflecting the autumn colors, creating an impressive frame.
If you don’t know where to go this fall to change the atmosphere, Nami Island will definitely top the list of places with the most beautiful autumn in Asia.
