Using the pillars of the corridor and the lines of the roof as leading lines, you can capture full-body or half-body shots, but I personally feel that full-body shots look better and can better showcase the elongation of the corridor. Try shooting from a low angle to emphasize the height and grandeur of the corridor, which can also make the person appear taller.

1. Equipment: Fujifilm XT30II + 18-55mm lens.
2. Admission: Entrance ticket only, 10 RMB per person.
3. Pose: Have the model perform natural movements and expressions to avoid stiff and unnatural poses. Capture moments that convey the beauty of Chinese aesthetics.

Temple of Heaven - Double Ring Longevity Pavilion Corridor

It's best to use a wide-angle lens for taking photos. The photographer should adopt an eye-level perspective, utilizing symmetrical composition to place the Double-Ring Longevity Pavilion at the center of the frame, with trees evenly distributed on both sides. Using a wide-angle lens captures the entire pavilion, surrounding trees, and visitors, showcasing the symmetrical beauty and grandeur of the imperial garden, while preserving the natural ambiance and spatial layers of the scene.

Temple of Heaven Park - Shuanghuan Wanshou Pavilion

Shoot from a low angle directly in front of the building, looking up to emphasize the height of the Huangqiongyu. Use a centered composition with the main structure in the middle of the frame, aligning the golden dome and blue plaque in the center, and the red walls symmetrically on both sides to enhance the solemnity. Include the entire building (from the bottom steps to the top dome) and the sky with clouds as the background, keeping the frame clean.

Travel Tip: Arrive early to avoid crowds for better photo results.

The photographer uses an upward angle inside the grand hall to capture the symmetrical beauty of the red-golden columns on both sides and the central ceiling with a symmetrical composition. The ceiling, located at the center of the frame, is the focal point. The shot should include the columns, the ceiling, and the altar below, to fully showcase the internal structural layers.

I suggest walking a few meters south on the overpass above the sports stadium, which is directly opposite the east gate of the Temple of Heaven Park, and using a low angle shot. Position the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests at the center of the frame, with the sun precisely topping the hall to create a visual focal point. The frame should include the full view of the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests, the orange-red sky above, and the distant street below to enhance the depth of the image. A telephoto lens is recommended for this shot.
Shooting time: I suggest heading out to shoot just before sunset on a clear day.

In the western corridor of Huangqian Hall, use an upward shooting angle to create layers between the red walls, green roof, and the Qiniandian Hall. Incorporate foreground elements, such as the green roof tiles, to enhance the depth of the composition. Ensure the background clearly includes the top of the Qiniandian Hall and the red walls, with the sky providing a clear and transparent backdrop. A telephoto lens or a 5x zoom on a smartphone is recommended to compress the space and highlight the architectural details of the main structure.

Travel Tip: It's best to arrive early to avoid crowds, which will improve the overall visual effect of your photos.

Center the composition with the main structure of the Hall placed in the middle of the frame, highlighting its symmetrical structure of three tiers and the golden roof.

Temple of Heaven - Northwest of the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests

From the perspective of composition, the figure is positioned slightly below the center of the frame, standing in front of a stone balustrade, creating a layered relationship with the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests. This highlights the integration of the figure and the architectural landscape. The composition technique employs vertical lines, where the vertical lines of the stone balustrade guide the viewer's eye, while the figure and the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests form the main elements of the scene, giving the picture a sense of order. In terms of camera usage, a wide-angle lens was employed to capture a broader range of the scene, showcasing the grandeur of the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests and the details of the stone balustrade, enhancing the visual impact of the image.

Reflection Composition: Utilize the reflection on the water to create symmetry in the image, enhancing the balance and visual appeal. Position yourself at a low angle outside the enclosure wall of the Imperial Ancestral Temple, slightly tilting the camera downward to ensure the reflection is fully captured.
