It is recommended to use a symmetrical composition technique, with the white archway symmetrically distributed on either side of the center of the frame to highlight the solemnity of the architecture. Stand directly in front of the archway to shoot at eye level, and include the foreground stone pillars, the red walls in the middle, and the distant trees and sky to enhance the depth of the image. It is suggested to use a standard lens to ensure clear architectural details and a balanced overall composition. Equipment parameters: Sony a7m3, focal length 24-70mm.
