The photographer stands at the focal point between three buildings, aiming the camera upward while keeping the position as close to the ground as possible to enhance the sense of depth and压迫感 (overwhelming presence) of the structures. The three buildings form a "radial" visual effect, converging the viewer's gaze toward the center of the frame, highlighting the height and grandeur of the main building of the Guomao complex. To capture more architectural details and the sky, use an ultra-wide-angle lens (12-16mm for a camera or 0.5x for a phone) to avoid the cramped composition that can result from using a longer focal length. 1. Equipment: A7R3 + 20-70G lens. 2. Post-processing: ACR + NIK. 3. Additional tips: On overcast days, use the clouds to add an atmospheric effect. In post-processing, appropriately brighten the building lights to enhance the depth and layers of the image.
