Photography Tips
The photographer stands at a distance from the red gate, using an upward angle. The composition is centered, with the red gate positioned in the lower center of the frame and the cat sculptures on the roof in the upper center. The gray brick walls on both sides are symmetrically arranged to enhance the balance. The scene includes the red gate, the couplets, the gray brick walls, and a blue sky background, maintaining a layered environment. A standard focal length is recommended to avoid distortion and to clearly capture the details of the sculptures and the red gate. Shooting Time: It is suggested to visit on a clear afternoon when the light is soft, which will produce better photo results.
