Positioning: The photographer stands at a distance, maintaining a straight-on angle, placing the Medicine Buddha Pagoda at the center of the lower part of the frame, creating a layered relationship with the Zijin Tower. 2. Composition: Use the rule of thirds, positioning the top of the Medicine Buddha Pagoda at the lower one-third of the frame, with the Zijin Tower occupying the upper central part of the frame to enhance the balance of the image. 3. Lens Focal Length: Use a 120mm lens on a camera or a 5x zoom on a phone to compress the space, emphasizing the contrast between the pagoda and the tower.
