'Racing the trend' of taking beautiful sunset photos like in movies at HCMC metro station

Since the metro line began operating to serve passengers, young people have been constantly creative and looking for unique locations to "hunt" for photos of this project.

Taking sunset photos with the Ben Thanh - Suoi Tien metro train as the backdrop is a trend that young people are racing to "catch".

The place where young people gather the most to take photos is An Phu station (Thu Duc city).

In recent days, every afternoon, young people have flocked here in large numbers because everyone wants to take photos with a sunset atmosphere and soft tones. Many people said that taking photos with their phones makes it difficult to adjust when taking photos against the light because their faces are often dark. Many young people come here many times to get the photo they want.

"This is the third time we've come here. The previous times we took photos with our phones, so we weren't satisfied with the backlit photos. Frontlit photos are easier to take. Today, we brought our cameras to keep an eye on them. Sunset is only about 1-2 hours away, so the previous two times we couldn't take photos in time, because there was no more sunlight," Nguyen Hoai Thanh Vy (living in Thu Duc City) shared.

Quynh (living in Dong Nai) is a student studying in Ho Chi Minh City and also took the opportunity to come here to take pictures of the sunset moment at the train station.

The female student of the technology school, born in 2003, said: "Since the train started, I still haven't had any photos with this special place. Today, my friends and I came here to take photos as souvenirs.", Quynh shared.

Backlighting is a tricky technique, but if done correctly, it can produce some impressive photos. You can try shooting from different angles to find the one that works best. Vo Tran Thuan (living in Vinh Loc B commune, Binh Chanh district) took photos at Van Thanh station and shared: "Normally, I often bring my camera to take photos of my friends. Because I see the scenery here in the afternoon is quite beautiful, today I "dressed up" and asked my friends in the group to take some photos for me."
