The coldness of winter gives this season a different kind of silence compared to the vibrant life of the other three seasons. Even though everything is sleeping silently for the breeding of new life, we can still create a thriving world through the lens. What are some of the scenes worth capturing on a dreary winter day? Hanfu Shidai (汉服世代) has compiled a few great options for you below.
Rime
During the long, cold winter months, when the weather is clear and the wind is light or still, supercooled water liquid droplets freeze onto surfaces, creating a rime ice landscape. Because of the harsh conditions for the formation of rime ice and the extreme beauty of the landscape, this is a rare and exclusive winter hanfu photo scene.
In the middle of a crystal clear rime, a white winter hanfu is undoubtedly the best choice. When the winter sun shines through the dense forest made of rime ice and shines on the pure hanfu, it will become a perfect winter memory.
Red Leaves
Most of us associate the mention of winter with a scene of silver and snow. Winter may be cold and crisp, but that doesn’t mean the season is devoid of warm colors. Sometimes, the red leaves remain bright even on the coldest days, reflecting with the winter sun and fluttering in the snow.
The warm colors of red leaves are undoubtedly a bright spot in the winter season, which is dominated by sluggish scenery, giving people visual and spiritual warmth, as well as signaling vitality and hope. When using red leaves as the background, you can choose either a big red hanfu of the same color to make the color more enthusiastic, or a cool color hanfu with obvious contrast to the background color to make the picture more lively.
Sky and Water
At dawn in winter, the sky is dyed light red by the dawn, and the water surface rises up with a light mist, dense with the place where the water and sky meet at the horizon, like a dream, like a fairyland. Especially when the shore of the lake with a thin layer of snow, from a distance, gray, white, blue, pink, layers of distinctive and not abrupt, just like a subtle and elegant poem, giving people a sense of ethereal.
The Rising Sun
A snowy morning may contain the most intimate winter look, moreover, only in the cold winter, the rising sun will seem extra warm and precious. The cocoon like light will wrap us, the melt warmth is the comfort of the soul, and is within reach of happiness.
Lanterns
The lanterns create a different kind of shooting scene for the winter. When night falls, the bright lights set up a festive and lively atmosphere, chasing away the bitter cold of winter. Shuttle under the promenade of lanterns, not only the sense of the atmosphere of the New Year pull full, but also makes for distinctive hanfu photos!
Fireworks
The fireworks bloom in the winter night sky, scattered as the sky full of stars. The fireworks are dazzling, press the shutter and engrave the most beautiful moment on the photo, it will be as new as the beginning, and never disappear. This is the feast of winter.
No matter where the scene is chosen, it reveals the pure and clear tone of winter. I believe that the shots under the warm winter sun can store the romance, stretch the happiness, and gift us the hope in the next spring!
