点评:Alphabetic Tower is one of the easiest landmarks to identify around Batumi's waterfront. Unlike Ali & Nino, which took us a while to locate, this tower is tall enough to stand out clearly from a distance.
We chose to experience it from the outside rather than going up inside. For us, walking around the base and taking photographs was already enough to appreciate the design.
The structure is striking and works very well as a photo backdrop.
My personal recommendation is to visit during daylight or close to sunset. I know the tower is illuminated at night, and some visitors may prefer the colorful lighting, but that is not really my style for portraits.
I much prefer natural light. During the day or golden hour, the tower still looks impressive, while your own face, clothes and overall photo usually look much better too.
That became my main photography takeaway from this stop: don't only think about how beautiful the landmark looks — think about how you will look in the photograph as well.
If you are already visiting the Ferris wheel, Ali & Nino or the surrounding waterfront area, Alphabetic Tower is absolutely worth adding to the walk.
翻译:字母塔是巴统海滨地区最容易辨认的地标之一。与我们费了好大劲才找到的“阿里与尼诺”雕像不同,这座塔楼高度适中,从远处就能清晰可见。
我们选择从外部欣赏它,而非进入塔内。对我们而言,绕着塔基漫步并拍照,就足以领略其设计的魅力了。
这座建筑造型醒目,绝对是绝佳的拍照背景。我个人建议选择在白天或接近日落时份去参观。我知道这座塔楼在夜间也会亮灯,有些游客或许喜欢那种五彩斑斓的灯光效果,但就人像摄影而言,那并不符合我的风格。
我更偏爱自然光。在白天或黄金时刻,塔楼依然显得十分壮观,而拍摄对象的面容、服饰以及整张照片的效果通常也会好得多。这也成了我此行摄影方面的主要收获:不要只想着地标本身有多漂亮——也要想想自己出现在照片中会是什么样子。
如果你已经计划去参观摩天轮、阿里与尼诺雕像或是周边的海滨区域,那么字母塔绝对值得你顺道一游。
