1. Shooting Angle: The photographer takes the shot from a slightly lower position at a diagonal front of the subject, looking up.

National Grand Theater - Emerald City Y-shaped Trail

The photographer stands beside a magnolia tree, taking a low-angle shot to use the foreground composition technique, with the blooming magnolias as the main subject in the foreground and the National Centre for the Performing Arts buildings blurred in the background. This approach highlights the flowers while adding layers and depth to the image. The photographer also uses a frame-within-a-frame composition, with branches naturally forming a frame around the central flowers. A medium telephoto lens is used to compress the space, blur the background, and capture the intricate details of the flowers, making the subject stand out even more.

Choose to shoot in the morning or evening to avoid backlighting during midday.
