It is recommended to use a telephoto lens to compress the space and make the composition tight. The photographer should adopt a level shooting angle to highlight the towering appearance of Leifeng Pagoda. Use a foreground-background composition with the stone tower at the lower center of the frame and Leifeng Pagoda at the upper center, creating a harmonious balance. The scene should include the lake, the stone tower, Leifeng Pagoda, and the distant green mountains, ensuring clear layers and a comprehensive view of the lake landscape. 1. Equipment settings: Sony a7c2 camera + Tamron 70-180mm f/2.8 lens. 2. Additional tips: The last ferry off the island is usually at 5:30 PM. Visitors from out of town should be aware not to miss the last ferry.

The photographer stands at a level with the water, ensuring the camera captures both the building and its reflection in full. The camera remains level to shoot. Use symmetrical composition, with the water surface as the axis of symmetry, to present the building and its reflection symmetrically, creating a balanced and stable visual effect. At the same time, utilize frame composition by using the branches in the foreground as a natural frame to enclose the distant building. Use a medium-telephoto lens to compress the space, highlighting the details of the building and its reflection, enhancing the sense of depth and atmosphere in the image. Additional tips: Pay attention to safety when shooting by the lake.
