1. Shooting Angle: The photographer should position themselves at a lower angle near the corner tower, using an upward shooting angle. 2. Framing Composition: Out-of-focus leaves in the foreground serve as a natural frame, highlighting the top of the corner tower within the shot. 3. Lens Recommendation: Using a medium to long focal length lens can compress the space, making the details of the corner tower stand out while also slightly blurring the foreground leaves and the blue sky in the background.
