I have been running around countless times before and after the vernal equinox to capture the hanging sun of Taiping Tower. I have tried twice to suspend the sun at sunrise, but both ended in failure: once, thick clouds covered the sun and no golden light was seen; Once the sky was clear and bright, the sun rose too fast, the light was fierce, and the scene was pale. I missed the best window for sunrise, so I placed all my hopes on the sunset hanging in the sky.

Three visits to the scene for sunset shooting, the first time the sun did not reach the point, waiting for one scene; The second time the clouds did not disperse, the sunset was firmly obscured, and the best date was missed perfectly. Until the third time, I finally waited for the sunset to slowly set in the west. Although I couldn't accurately land on the top of the tower, the light and shadow were still relatively soft, finally leaving behind a decent photo.

What makes me more anxious and helpless than the unpredictable weather is the dense array of cameras in front of the building. They are like abrupt steel needles, piercing in front of ancient buildings, forcefully destroying the tranquility and charm of century old buildings. I stood downstairs, looking left and right, my heart full of annoyance - even though I was about to take a picture of a Taiping Tower with upturned eaves and antique charm, I was always disturbed by these modern tools.

In order to avoid their intrusion on the image, I had to step back and forth, moving step by step to the base of the city wall and repeatedly adjusting the composition in the limited space. However, even so, there is always a camera that is impartial and precisely blocks the three character plaque of "Taiping Tower", like an indelible flaw.

The aircraft position has become extremely strict, unable to move left, unable to probe forward, and even fine-tuning has become a luxury. I stood in a limited position, looking at the ancient building and the obstructive cameras, feeling both helpless and helpless. The weather can wait, time can wait, but these unavoidable shots have become the most difficult obstacles to overcome. Well, the scenery is not always perfect, so let's focus on taking photos and leave this regret in the light and shadow.
