The shot is taken from a straight-on angle, capturing the complete text on the stele and the upper half of the building with its inscription. The background includes a clear blue sky to keep the composition simple and uncluttered.

The photographer stands below the building to shoot upward, ensuring that the eaves, pillars, doors, and windows are symmetrical and balanced. The composition includes both the upper and lower eaves, carved windows and doors, and red pillars, with green trees on the right and a clear blue sky in the background. It is recommended to use a standard focal length to highlight the architectural details and sense of depth. Additional tips: It’s best to visit and take photos on a sunny day during the daytime.

Using a centered composition, place the statue in the middle of the frame, ensuring that the text on the pedestal is clearly visible. The photographer should use a straight-on angle, maintaining eye level with the statue to emphasize its solemnity. The framing should include the entire statue and the dense forest behind it, while also retaining the grass around the base to enhance the natural environment. This will fully showcase the integration of the statue with its surroundings. Travel Tip: The entrance is free, but advance reservations are required.
