1. Positioning: The photographer should stand slightly to the left of the peach tree, using a low angle to capture a flat shot that showcases the tree’s layers and incorporates the distant wall lines. 2. Composition: Use the rule of thirds, placing the peach tree in the right one-third of the frame, leaving the left side open to balance the composition. 3. Lens Usage: Use a 50mm lens (for a camera) or the 2x zoom on a smartphone to highlight the details of the peach tree and compress the background layers. Additional Tips: The Temple of Heaven is not just about the Hall of Abstinence’s magnolias in March. There are also service trees near the East Gate, and lilacs and violets near the Double Ring Pavilion. You might also capture the occasional squirrel, and the area is usually quiet with few tourists.
