Photography Tips
Position the stone sculpture as the main subject of the frame, with the photographer shooting from a low angle to include both the blooming flowers and the stone sculpture, highlighting the antiquity of the sculpture and the delicacy of the flowers. Use the lines of tree branches as compositional elements to add depth to the image. Set the camera to aperture priority mode (f/2.8 - f/5.6) and use central weighted metering to ensure accurate exposure of the stone sculpture. Smartphone users can shoot in "Normal mode" to clearly capture the details of the stone sculpture and flowers. Shooting time: Opt for a day with good weather for the shoot, as better lighting will result in higher quality images.
