The photographer uses a low-angle shot from beneath the ginkgo tree, employing a centered composition to place the golden canopy in the middle of the frame, with branches and leaves naturally extending outward. The shot includes the full canopy and the sky above, capturing falling ginkgo leaves to add a sense of movement. Use the 0.5x zoom or ultra-wide angle lens on your phone for the low-angle shot to capture the falling leaves. Additional tips: 1. It's best to shoot on a sunny day for better lighting and atmosphere. 2. Be sure to use sunscreen.
