When to go
All months of the year are suitable to photograph this bench rest area.
I highly recommend visiting in the morning (before 10:30) to avoid the distorting shadows caused by the rising sun. I like the lines of the benches to be fine and clear, so I avoid shadows when I shoot here!
Field tips
This is a hanging effect shot that I created by tilting the camera.
If you want to shoot the hanging effect, your model should act as if they are hanging onto a ledge about to fall. If they hold their legs up in space it won’t look like they’re limited by gravity. Get creative!
I used the main bench as a leading line to split the image in half and the placed a model on one side of it. I also tried to compose the benches to cross the frame corner to corner.
