Stand at one end of the road and shoot parallel to the ground, with the perspective extending along the row of ginkgo trees. Use leading lines in the composition, with the road and the ginkgo trees on either side serving as natural guides to draw the viewer's eye into the depth of the scene, enhancing the sense of depth. Employ a symmetrical composition, with the ginkgo trees neatly lined up on both sides of the road, creating a balanced and orderly visual effect. In terms of color, let the golden leaves, fallen leaves on the ground, and the yellow walls complement each other, forming a harmonious and warm-toned image. Choose a wide-angle lens to capture more of the ginkgo trees and the road, showcasing the scale of the ginkgo tree lineup and the openness of the scene.
