It is recommended to use a telephoto lens for the shot. The photographer should stand below the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests and take an upward angle shot, focusing on the roof tiles, ridge beasts, and colorful decorative details. Keep the blue sky in the background, and use side backlit conditions (during sunset) to highlight the golden light and shadow on the roof. Adjust the exposure to ensure that the dragon patterns and other decorative details are clear.
