The photographer uses a low-angle shot, looking up from below the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvest to capture a detailed view of the eaves. Employing a diagonal composition, the sloping lines of the eaves guide the viewer's eye to the top ornamentation, highlighting the intricate dougong, painted decorations, and glazed tiles. The frame focuses on the upturned eave corners and intricate patterns, with a dark night sky in the background to avoid clutter. A medium-telephoto lens is recommended to clearly capture the fine textures of the architecture.
