1. Angle: The photographer stands below the temple, shooting upwards to capture the eaves sculptures and pigeons at a moderate angle, highlighting the details and three-dimensionality of the sculptures and pigeons. 2. Composition: The rule of thirds is used, placing the pigeons and sculptures on the right one-third of the frame, with the eaves extending from the upper left to form leading lines, drawing the viewer's attention to the main subject. 3. Lens Focal Length: The photo is taken using a 120mm lens on a camera or a 5x telephoto on a phone, compressing the space to emphasize the details of the sculptures and pigeons, with clear background layers. 4. Other Shooting Techniques: Natural light is used to enhance the texture of the sculptures, while avoiding overexposure. Exposure is adjusted moderately to retain the rich details of the eaves' painted designs.
