Photography Tips
The photographer stands 1-2 meters directly in front of the porch, using a flat shooting angle and central composition to integrate the symmetrical design of the porch and the model into the center of the frame. Shooting with a camera at a focal length of 35mm-50mm/smartphone at 1x-2x can maintain architectural details while highlighting the subject, avoiding clutter from too wide or too narrow a shot. 1. Shooting equipment: Turn on the professional mode on the smartphone and adjust the exposure compensation appropriately. For cameras, use a medium to long focal length, such as 70-200mm, and set the aperture to f/5.6-f/8 to perfectly capture the details and overall atmosphere of the drum tower. 2. Travel tips: The soft light in the morning hours can better capture the texture and charm of ancient architecture.
