1. Shooting Angle: The photographer should position themselves slightly to the side in front of the entrance to the Temple of Earth, using an upward angle.
2. Framing: The branches at the top of the frame naturally form a frame, guiding the viewer’s gaze to the main subject, the entrance to the Temple of Earth.
3. Lens Recommendation: A medium focal length lens is recommended.
1. Equipment Settings: During the blue hour, the light is dim, so use a tripod to avoid blur. Keep the ISO low (100-200) to reduce noise. Set the aperture between f/5.6 and f/8, and manually set the white balance to "Cloudy" or "Incandescent."
2. Additional Tips: Be sure to check the blue hour times for the day, as it is a brief period, usually lasting only 10-15 minutes. Arrive at the location early.
