The photographer shoots from a frontal position, at eye level, to clearly showcase the details and colors of the dougong structure. Using a central composition, the dougong is placed at the center of the frame, emphasizing the subject. The surrounding background is kept simple, making the intricate patterns and vibrant colors of the dougong stand out more, enhancing the visual impact. A standard lens is used to clearly capture the texture, patterns, and color gradations of the dougong. Additional tips: ① Try to enter the park around 8:30 AM or after 1:00 PM to avoid peak entry times; ② The Forbidden City is closed on Mondays, so be sure to check in advance and book your tickets; ③ When shooting, try to avoid times when there are numerous distractions or crowds, to maintain the purity of the frame.
