The photographer uses a low-angle shot with central composition, placing the panda at the center of the frame to highlight its imposing stature. The frame includes the entire panda as well as the background's spiral staircase and ceiling structure, enhancing the sense of depth and space in the scene.

Travel tips: It is recommended to go early when there are fewer people, resulting in better picture effects.

When shooting, you can create an atmosphere by using a background with strong colors, such as the eye-catching yellow and blue contrasting scene in the picture. Placing the subject in the right position of the frame, and matching the table items or balloons and other props can add a sense of depth to the image. The subject's posture can be natural and relaxed, like the posture leaning against the table in the picture, which makes the image more lifelike and aesthetically pleasing. At the same time, make good use of lighting to highlight the color contrast between the subject and the background, making the image more vivid.

Use a flat angle with a centered composition to place the pile of stones in the middle of the frame to highlight its layers.

Get the camera close to the ground and shoot the jasmine flower corridor or flower waterfall from a low angle, allowing the flowers to cascade down from above, creating a visually striking image. Use the sky as the background to give the flower wall a more three-dimensional look. Employ a foreground-background composition, with the jasmine as the foreground and blur it to highlight the ancient architecture behind, such as the combination of the flower wall in front of the Mahavira Hall and the Mahavira Hall itself, to add depth and layering to the image. Use a 50mm lens on a camera or a 2x zoom on a smartphone to compress space and emphasize the layering of the architecture and flower wall.

1. Travel Tips: Choose to shoot in the early morning or late afternoon when the light is soft, adding a gentle glow to the jasmine flowers and avoiding harsh shadows created by the strong midday sun.

2. Photography Props: Prepare props such as straw hats, bamboo baskets, books, and umbrellas to enhance a pastoral or artistic atmosphere.

3. Dressing Suggestions: Opt for colors that harmonize with the jasmine flowers, such as white, light pink, light blue, and other light-colored clothing, focusing on natural harmony.

Position the Moon Bridge as the main subject of the frame, with the photographer standing on one side of the bridge, taking a low-angle shot that captures both the bridge and the surrounding waters, highlighting the classical nature of the Moon Bridge. Use the weeping willow branches near the bridge as compositional elements, allowing the branches to naturally hang down, adding depth to the image.

Equipment settings:
① For cameras, set to aperture priority mode (f/2.8 - f/5.6) and use central-weighted metering to ensure accurate exposure of the Moon Bridge;
② For mobile phone users, use the "Normal" mode for clear recording of the details of the Moon Bridge and flowers.

When taking photos, you can use eye-catching subjects like large dolls as the background, placing the subject right in front of the doll at the center. By leveraging the doll's huge size and cute design, it can highlight the subject's petite and lively presence. At the same time, have the subject pose naturally and interactively, like the action of gently pulling a braid in the picture, making the image more vivid and approachable. The overall composition not only highlights the main subject but also adds interest and visual appeal to the image with the background elements.
