2. Composition: Place the central plaque of the paifang at the center of the frame and use the surrounding symmetrical structures to enhance the balance of the image.
3. Lens Focal Length: It is recommended to use a 50mm focal length on a camera or the 2x mode on a smartphone to compress the frame and highlight the intricate details of the paifang.
