The photographer stands at a lower position in front of the drum tower, using a low-angle shot to highlight the grandeur of the building. A centralized composition is employed, placing the entire drum tower at the center of the frame, and leveraging the building's inherent symmetrical structure to enhance the sense of balance. The frame captures the full view of the drum tower, with details from the base to the roof clearly visible. The background retains a deep blue sky to accentuate the lighting effects. Best time for shooting: It is recommended to shoot after the lights are on at night for better results.
