The photographer stands at the center of the hall floor and shoots from a low angle looking up. Using a centered composition, the dome, tower, and the “Central Opera House” sign at the bottom are placed in the center of the frame to ensure the symmetry and completeness of the architecture. The field of view should include the top perforated dome, the central arched structure, and the sign at the bottom, with parts of the side structures included to enhance the sense of space. A super wide-angle lens is recommended to capture the grand depth and scale.
