The photographer uses an upward angle, with blurred yellow leaves in the foreground, to clearly showcase the red pillars, colorful eaves, and intricate dougong details of the ancient architecture in the mid-ground, creating a sense of depth. The focus is on the area from the eaves to the red pillars, highlighting the contrast between the architectural colors and the autumn leaves, enhancing the ancient and rustic atmosphere. Travel Tip: It’s recommended to visit and shoot in the late afternoon around 4 PM on a sunny day for soft lighting.
