1. Photographer's Position: The photographer stands at a relatively close position in front of the Shenwu Gate, shooting from a low angle looking upwards. 2. Composition Technique: Symmetrical composition is used, with the central axis of the Shenwu Gate as the reference point, and the architectural structures on both sides are symmetrically distributed, enhancing the stability and solemnity of the image. 3. Lens Usage: A medium to telephoto lens is used to clearly capture the architectural details and the text on the plaque, compressing the space to make the various elements of the building tightly integrated, creating an atmosphere of grandeur and heaviness. The North Gate of the Forbidden City (Shenwu Gate) is lit up around 8 PM on Fridays and Saturdays. Equipment: Both smartphones and cameras can be used, but a telephoto lens is required. Post-processing: Increase the overall color temperature, shadows, exposure, contrast, and saturation to achieve the desired effect, with specific parameters adjusted according to the original image.
