1. The overall structure is quite large, so use a 2x/medium telephoto lens to include both the person and the building in the frame, focusing on partial shots and making sure to capture the water reflections. 2. Be mindful not to place faces directly on the horizon. Equipment: Fuji XE4, 18-50mm f2.8 lens. Post-processing: Avoid using the flash to maintain a natural look; if faces are too dark, brighten them in post. Shooting time: Recommended to shoot about half an hour before sunset for the best lighting.
