Symmetrical composition works better, and a telephoto lens produces better results. Place the archway in the center of the frame, with the buildings on either side symmetrically distributed. The photographer uses a low angle to shoot upward, with the golden ginkgo leaves in the foreground framing the entire ancient palace in the background. This compresses the space, highlighting the main subject and enhancing the depth and symmetry of the image. Other tips: It’s best to come on a sunny day for better lighting and better photo results.
