Use the rule of thirds composition, with two-thirds at the bottom for the sea of clouds and one-third at the top for the starry sky. Incorporate the outline of the mountain on the right to enhance the depth of the image. The photographer should use a low-angle shot to capture the vast panorama of the starry sky and the sea of clouds, adjusting exposure to preserve details in the stars and textures in the clouds. Additional suggestions: Pay attention to safety. Mobile signals in the mountains are weak or nonexistent in some areas, so it's recommended to travel in groups.
