The photographer stands at a lower position in front of the incense burner and uses an upward angle, placing the incense burner slightly to the left of the center of the frame to highlight it. Above, the pine branches naturally droop, forming a frame that adds depth to the composition. The shot should include the incense burner and the rising smoke at the top, with pine branches in the foreground and the red wall and temple roof in the background. It is recommended to use a standard focal length to capture architectural details and avoid distortion from wide-angle lenses.
