Place the main green dragon pattern carving at the center of the frame to highlight the details. The photographer should stand below the carving and use an upward shooting angle to ensure the subject is complete and three-dimensional. The framing should include the main carving, the black carved pillars on both sides, and some of the lower carving details. The right side should have a portion of the blue sky to add depth, while clearly capturing the texture of the carvings. Equipment settings: Kodak Gold 200, Foma.
