Shoot from a low angle, standing in the courtyard looking up, to highlight the height of the ancient architecture and the details of the overhanging eaves. Use a symmetrical composition with the wooden pavilions on both sides evenly distributed, and the main building with lotus carvings in the center to enhance the balance of the image. The frame should include the green screen in the foreground, plants, and the sky above to add depth. A wide-angle lens is recommended to fully capture the entirety of the courtyard and its sense of depth. Additional tips: Be mindful of the heat and take precautions to stay cool.
