The photographer stands under the crab apple tree in the courtyard, using a level shooting angle. The branches of the crab apple serve as a natural frame, highlighting the layers of the red wall and window grilles in the background. A 50mm lens or a 2x zoom on a smartphone is recommended to moderately compress the space and emphasize the details of the subject.

Other tips: Capture the moment when petals fall to enhance the dynamic atmosphere of the image. You can lower the shutter speed to 1/60 second to capture the drifting effect.
