Stand in a lower position within the temple courtyard and use an upward shooting angle. Frame the composition using the flying eaves of the ancient buildings on both sides, leaving the center open to showcase the sky and distant skyscrapers, enhancing the depth and layers of the image. Ensure the composition includes the foreground eaves, the mid-ground tiled roofs, and the background modern skyscrapers and sky, highlighting the contrast between ancient and modern. Use a wide-angle lens to capture the full scene and its depth.

The photographer uses an upward shooting angle, holding the film and extending it forward as the foreground. The tower of the Jingming Temple on the film echoes with the real tower in the background. It is recommended to use a standard lens for shooting. The model should naturally hold the film, lightly pinching the edge with their fingers, placing the film on the left side of the frame without obstructing the main subject in the background.

The photographer uses an upward shooting angle from a low position, placing the stone stele slightly to the left of the center of the frame to highlight the main subject, "Jiming Temple." Employing a foreground-background composition, the stele's details are clearly presented in the foreground, while the background includes the rooftops of ancient buildings, mountains with green vegetation, and a yellow wall on the left, enhancing the depth of the image. Incorporating tree branches on the right side adds to the environmental atmosphere. A wide-angle lens is recommended to capture the complete spatial relationship between the stele and the background architecture. Travel Tip: Admission is 10 RMB per person.

The model is positioned at the right one-third of the frame, with the camera shooting at eye level. Use frame-within-a-frame composition, with the window frame as the foreground element, to emphasize the layers between the model and the background of yellow ancient buildings. The scene should include the foreground window frame, the model, the mid-ground yellow buildings, and parts of the blue sky. Adding some green plants in the foreground can enhance the depth. It is recommended to use a wide-angle lens or the 1x lens on a smartphone.
