Photography Tips
The photographer should stand 1 to 1.5 meters away from the subject and use the structural lines of the ancient architecture to frame the shot, selecting distinctive doors, windows, steps, etc., as the foreground or background. The soft light between 10 and 11 a.m. and 3 and 4 p.m. can capture the beauty of interwoven light and shadow. Both mobile phones and cameras can produce excellent shots. For mobile phones, switch to the professional mode and adjust the exposure compensation as needed. For cameras, choose a focal length of 35 to 50mm and set the aperture between f/2.8 and f/4 to highlight the integration of the person and the ancient temple atmosphere.
