🚉Sri Lanka Kollupitiya Station|Photography scene beside the forgotten coast

📍Why is this station so interesting to take photos? Located on the coastal railway line in the center of Colombo, there is only a railing to the beach. It is so shocking to take photos of the waves and the train in the same frame when the train enters the station! The station itself retains its historical flavor. The colonial-era architectural structure is matched with modern commuting crowds, which gives a sense of time staggered 📸Photography scenes & composition guide 1️⃣ The edge of the coastline platform How to shoot: Stand by the platform and watch the rails extend to the sea You can hold a ticket or an umbrella to pose, and shoot with the blue and white sea and sky waves, the picture is romantic You can also shoot the train entering the station + the waves by the railing from the side, and use a long strip composition to create a sense of extension 2️⃣ Close-up scene of the front of the train How to shoot: When waiting for the train to enter the station, quickly switch the focal length to shoot the moment when the train arrives at the station Choose a station sign or railing in the foreground, and shoot close to it for a dynamic look Sideways and low aerial photography to capture the moment when the train and the waves are in the same frame 3️⃣ Overlooking the platform & Reflection How to shoot: Walk to the middle of the platform and use the reflection from the sea to shoot the reflection Make sure the platform is dry and quickly frame after eliminating the crowd The background is softer at sunset, and the train silhouette effect can be shot against the light 🗺️Simple route setting Station name: Kollupitiya Railway Station (codename KLP) is located in Colombo 3, one of the stations where the Coast Train stops Opening hours: 24 hours a day, 7:00-9:00 am or 16:00-18:00 am is recommended for the best sea view 📍From Colombo: Take a train or taxi to Kollupitiya, and you can reach the best photo spot along the platform 🎒Photography & photography equipment suggestions Best time: Early morning or dusk, the sun slants on the sea and the front of the train, which is the most cinematic #Kollupitiya Station #Kollupitiya #Colombo Sea Line #Train Photo #Coast Railway #Train and Sea #Hidden Photo Spot #Sri Lanka Travel Photography #City Sea View #Sea Line Check-in
