The photographer is shooting the tree trunk and its shadow, positioning themselves parallel to the wall to ensure the shadow and trunk are centered in the frame. Use a symmetrical composition with the trunk in the center and the shadow extending to create visual balance. Include fallen leaves at the bottom to add depth. Recommend using a 35mm-50mm lens for a camera, or the 1x focal length on a smartphone to avoid distortion from a wide angle.

Travel Tips:
① Admission: Free
② Best Shooting Time: This spot is best during winter, with particularly nice light around 15:00 in the afternoon.
③ Opening Hours: Tuesday-Sunday, 9:00-17:00.
