Photography Tips
1. Positioning Angle: The photographer stands on the bridge at eye level, capturing the dragon head sculpture and the distant W Hotel in a frontal shot, ensuring clarity of the sculpture and the hotel. 2. Composition Method: Employ the rule of thirds, placing the dragon head sculpture on the left side of the frame and the W Hotel in the background on the right, creating a contrast between the primary and secondary subjects. 3. Lens Focal Length: It is recommended to use a camera with a focal length of around 200mm or a smartphone's 5x zoom for shooting, which compresses the sense of space and highlights the hierarchical relationship between the subject and the background. Shooting Time: It is advised to take the photos during good weather in the daytime for better results.
