📷Photo location:
1⃣The gate is close to the main street, and it is difficult to take a complete and undisturbed front view of the church. If you go around the right channel to the back of the church, you will be pleasantly surprised. The arc-shaped wall of red and yellow floral bricks is a typical Roman style. Don't worry about being disturbed.
2⃣Inside the church, you can squat down, extend the lens along the edge of the seat, show neatness and depth through symmetrical layout, and also capture the architectural features of continuous cross arches.
3⃣Under the tree in the right channel outside the church, you can take a picture of the left dome of the church.
4⃣At the entrance of the office area in the left channel outside the church, shoot through the railing, use the pattern on the iron door as the foreground, and make the building more interesting.
5⃣Looking at the church from the angle of the garden. Set the phone to portrait mode, focus on the flowers, blur the background church, the effect is also good. Tianjin Xikai Cathedral.
