The photographer stands at a lower position beside a pear tree, shooting from a low angle to capture the scene with a standard lens, faithfully reproducing the proportions and spatial feel of the setting. This technique clearly showcases the details of the pear blossoms, the ancient architecture, and the surrounding environment. Using a low-angle shot with the camera positioned low, the photographer employs the rule of thirds, placing the pear blossoms in the upper left and the ancient architecture in the lower right of the frame. This composition balances the image and uses the foreground branches to guide the viewer's eye. A wide-angle lens is used to capture a rich array of details, while a large aperture blurs the background to emphasize the main subjects. This approach results in photos that beautifully highlight the delicate pear blossoms, the grandeur of the ancient architecture, and the essence of spring.
