The photographer stands at a slight angle in front of the subject, shooting at eye level, with both the person and the Drum Tower as the main elements of the frame. The subject’s pose naturally guides the viewer’s gaze towards the Drum Tower. A standard lens is used for this shot. Interactive Shooting: Have a friend or the photographer snap the photo while you are walking naturally, or use a selfie stick for remote shutter control. This can help avoid the awkwardness of posing. Photography Tips: Avoid Peak Times: As a popular tourist spot, Nanluoguxiang can be quite crowded. It’s best to visit on non-holidays or during off-peak hours to minimize crowd interference and get better photos.
