Use an upward shooting angle and apply the rule of thirds, placing the light decorations in the lower one-third of the frame to enhance the night atmosphere and add depth to the image. The composition should include the castle spires and surrounding lights, with ample sky background to highlight the three-dimensionality of the structure and the open space. When shooting, slightly reduce the exposure compensation to ensure the lights are not overexposed and to enhance the texture of the castle. Travel Tip: It is recommended to shoot in the evening or at night when the castle’s lighting is at its best.
