The photographer stands directly in front of the Lanting Stele, using a slight upward angle to emphasize the overhanging eaves of the pavilion and the main stele. The central composition places the stele in the middle of the frame, with the pavilion symmetrically balanced on either side. The background includes a clear blue sky and weeping willows, while the foreground features stone steps. The surrounding greenery naturally frames the subject on both sides. It is recommended to use a wide-angle lens to ensure the entire scene is captured with a sense of depth.
