Use a slightly upward shooting angle to capture the trees from below, highlighting their height and the lushness of the golden leaves. Let the foreground tree trunks serve as leading lines, guiding the viewer's gaze upward to the dense yellow foliage, enhancing the depth of the scene. The frame should include clear tree trunks and full, golden leaves, with the background featuring a blurred red wall and grass to add layers to the environment. Travel Tip: It’s best to visit and shoot in the late afternoon around 4 PM on a sunny day for soft, warm light.
