Use a low-angle shot with the rule of thirds composition, fill the upper half of the frame with yellow ash tree branches and leaves, place the yellow roof of the ancient building and red walls in the lower half, and use a black streetlight as a foreground element to enhance the sense of depth. The frame should include branches, roof, and blue sky. Travel tip: It's recommended to go between 9-11 AM and 2-4 PM, as the light is better and there are fewer people in the morning. After 4 PM, children will be out of school, leading to more cars and people, which makes it harder to get good shots. However, the light in the afternoon is more suitable for capturing hair with a glow and softer light.
