The photographer uses a level shooting angle, incorporating trees and grass at the shore in the foreground, a lit pavilion and an arched bridge with their reflections in the middle ground, and the distant television tower in the background to enhance the depth of the scene. For night photography, exposure needs to be adjusted to ensure that the dark areas are clear and the lights are not overexposed, maintaining a balanced atmosphere between light and dark.

Using the rule of thirds, the inscribed tree trunk is positioned at the right one-third of the frame, while the left side captures branches and the night sky, enhancing the balance of the composition. The photographer uses an upward angle to ensure the texture of the tree trunk and the details of the inscription are clear. The framing includes the main tree trunk, surrounding pines, and a portion of the night sky, highlighting the natural atmosphere and the contrast with the subject.

The photographer stands directly in front of the building, using a level angle and symmetrical composition to place the entrance of the "Tang Lu Qing" building at the center of the frame, with lanterns and wall decorations symmetrically arranged on both sides, enhancing the sense of balance. The frame includes the dense trees in the background, the stone-paved ground in the foreground, and the full view of the building, enriching the layers of the image.
