Photography Tips
Shooting Tips: The photographer should stand behind the door and use a 2x/medium telephoto lens. Frame the door as the foreground to blur it and highlight the palace; using a medium telephoto lens adds depth to the composition. Shooting Time: 3-5 PM, when the outdoor light is better. Shooting Equipment: Fuji XE4 + 18-50mm f2.8.
