Photography Tips

To photograph the Pont des Amours from the shore, shoot during golden or blue hour for soft, atmospheric light. Use trees or the canal as natural frames and capture reflections in calm water. A standard or telephoto lens works well; try f/8 or f/11 for landscape sharpness. Including people, birds, or boats adds life and scale to the scene.
