The photographer uses an upward shooting angle from a low position to capture a partial view of the Drum Tower. It is recommended to use a telephoto lens to focus on the roof ridge beasts, tiles, and red wall details. In composition, utilize the diagonal lines formed by the roof's slanted edges to guide the viewer's gaze towards the ornamental beasts and carvings at the eaves. The frame should include a portion of the building, with a small amount of green trees in the background and some tiles and plants in the foreground, enhancing the depth of the image.
