Photography Tips

1. Positioning: The photographer stands directly in front of Shoukang Palace, adjusting the camera to be parallel with the ground, keeping the tree trunk centered and vertical to ensure a symmetrical and neat composition. 2. Composition: Use the rule of thirds, with the eaves occupying the top one-third of the frame and the dead tree centered as the main subject to enhance balance in the image. 3. Lens Focal Length: Recommend using a 50mm camera lens or the 2x zoom on a phone to compress the perspective, emphasizing the main subject and architectural details. 4. Framing: Include the complete dead tree, the red walls in the background, and the eaves, avoiding cutting off parts of the tree trunk or the eaves to maintain the overall composition. Travel Tips: 1.
