The Forbidden City - Dead Trees and Grid Window Eaves Architecture

1. Composition: Use the rule of thirds, with the前景 being the snow-covered eaves of the Forbidden City, and the background clearly layered, with the buildings on Jing Mountain prominently centered in the distance to enhance depth. 2. Framing: Select the eaves, palaces, and distant Jing Mountain, avoiding any extraneous elements; use the snowy scenery to simplify the frame and highlight the symmetry and layers of the ancient architecture. 3. Lens Focal Length: Recommend using a focal length of 85mm-120mm or the 2x-3x zoom on a smartphone to compress the space, bringing the buildings and background closer together.
