Capture the scene from a low angle, standing beneath the ginkgo tree and shooting upwards to highlight the golden lushness of the canopy. Use central composition to place the main trunk of the ginkgo tree in the center of the frame, with symmetrical branches on either side to enhance a sense of balance. Include a blue sky in the background to create a striking contrast between the golden leaves and the blue, emphasizing the autumn atmosphere. Additional tip: It's recommended to take photos on a sunny day for exceptional results.
