Photography Tips
The photographer stands at the bottom of the building, adopting a low-angle shot. The diagonal lines of the roof naturally extend, guiding the gaze to the top of the roof. The framing includes details of the ancient building's roof, such as dougong brackets and tiles, as well as the sky above, highlighting the sense of depth in the architecture. It is recommended to use a wide-angle lens to capture the grandeur of the roof and the vastness of the sky. 1.
