Photography Tips
The photographer stands in the center of the corridor of the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvest, slightly tilting the camera upward to ensure that the entire framework of the corridor is captured at the top of the frame. This employs a framing technique, using the decorative borders of the corridor to frame the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvest, adding depth and visual focus to the image. A 24mm lens is used to ensure that both the main subject, the Hall of Prayer, and the frame are clearly and completely captured. 1.
