Photography Tips
For this shot, position yourself at a low angle directly in front of the television tower and shoot upwards. Use a symmetrical composition with golden dragon statues on either side, and the tower centered vertically in the frame. Include the steps and the sign “Central Television Tower” at the base. Use an ultra-wide-angle lens to capture the entire tower, from the red sphere to the bottom, along with the dragon statues on either side, set against a dark night sky to emphasize the lighting effects.
