The photographer stands outside the southeast corner of the wall of the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvest, slightly lower than the main structure, using a slight upward angle. The main tower of the Hall is placed on the left side of the frame, while trees are introduced on the right side as a foreground element to add depth. A telephoto lens or the 5x zoom feature on a phone can be used to shoot the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvest up close. There are railings around, and using a telephoto lens helps avoid obstacles, capturing a clear, well-lit image of the Hall. Travel Tip: It’s recommended to shoot during the blue hour in the evening when the sky is blue, creating a more atmospheric scene.
