It is recommended to use an upward shooting angle, with the incense burner positioned at the right one-third of the frame. The "Lotus Realm Fragrant Forest" building should be in the left background, forming a balanced composition using the rule of thirds. Capture the full view of the incense burner, the main entrance of the building, and the sign above it, while incorporating pine branches and the blue sky to enhance depth. Use a standard lens to highlight the integration of the main subject with the ancient architectural environment. Additional tips: Avoid peak hours and visit during off-peak times to reduce crowds.
