Central composition, spot metering, keep the ISO as low as possible, match the shutter speed to the flow of traffic, and use the smallest aperture possible. Place the clock tower at the center of the frame to ensure the symmetry and stability of the main subject, while the interplay between the background clouds and the ground traffic creates a rich layering in the image. Maintain a level shooting angle to avoid perspective distortion. The frame should include the clock tower and the intersection of the four surrounding streets, reflecting the unique urban layout and the sunset atmosphere. 

Additional advice: Not recommended for beginners to fly here.
