Photography Tips

Using a low-angle shot, stand in the courtyard near the right palace wall and shoot to the left. Position the red palace wall and eaves on the right side of the frame, about one-third from the right. The left side of the frame should be left open to show the stone brick pavement of the courtyard. The sloping eaves guide the viewer’s eye to the lanterns in the middle distance and the green trees in the background. Include the distant palace roof and trees in the background, and bring in the stone bricks in the foreground to add depth and retain architectural details and a sense of space.
