The photographer stands directly below the tower, using an upward shooting angle to point the lens at the tower’s peak. A centered composition is employed, placing the entire tower in the center of the frame to ensure the building is vertically symmetrical, highlighting the eaves and details of each level. The shot includes the full view of the tower from base to top, with the sky as the background and appropriate negative space on the sides to avoid clutter. Travel Tip: Open hours: 07:30-17:00.
