Tanzhe Temple - Red Walls and Mei Blossom Branches

Use a centered composition with the bronze door knocker at the center of the frame, highlighting the lion's head carving. The photographer should shoot straight on, standing directly in front of the door knocker at eye level. The frame should include the red door panel as the background, with a portion of the gray brick wall on the right to add depth to the environment. A telephoto lens is recommended to compress the background and focus on the detailed close-up of the door knocker, showcasing its texture.

It is recommended to use a telephoto lens, with the photographer standing at a lower position under the tree to shoot upwards. Incorporate interlaced branches in the foreground to enhance depth, while clearly capturing the temple roof and incense smoke in the midground. In the background, retain the trees and sky. Use foreground composition to naturally divide the frame with the branches, highlighting the details of the ancient architecture and the misty atmosphere. Opening hours: 8:30 AM - 4:30 PM.

Using leading lines in the composition, the small path naturally extends and guides the viewer's gaze into the distance, enhancing the sense of depth. The photographer uses a level shooting angle, allowing the stone railings and bamboo groves on both sides to be symmetrically distributed, balancing the frame. The foreground includes the nearby stone railing, while the background captures the bamboo grove and the distant wall, maintaining the layers of the central path. It is recommended to use a telephoto lens to compress the space and highlight the details.
