Photography Tips
Use a centered composition to place the dragon patterns of the藻井 (caisson) directly in the center of the frame, highlighting the symmetry and intricate details. Stand directly beneath the caisson and shoot at an upward angle to capture the grandeur and delicacy of the ceiling. Frame the shot to include the entire caisson and the surrounding painted details. Incorporate natural light from the windows to enhance the transparency and depth of the image. It is recommended to use a wide-angle lens to maintain the完整性 (integrity) of the scene and enhance the visual impact.
