The photographer stands at an oblique front position relative to the main subject tree, maintaining a considerable distance, and shoots at eye level with a slightly upward angle to enhance the visual impact of the tree canopy. The composition follows the rule of thirds, placing the tree trunk on the right one-third of the frame, allowing the branches to extend to the left, forming a natural leading line. The background wall is positioned in the middle of the frame to add depth.

Travel Tip: It is recommended to choose mornings or afternoons with better lighting conditions for shooting.

The Palace Museum - Dongyanchi Building

The photographer should use a low angle shot to include both the Temple of Heaven in the background and the crowd in the foreground, ensuring that the Temple of Heaven is fully captured. Employ a frame-within-a-frame technique, using the tall trees on either side to naturally frame the scene, directing the viewer's attention to the distant Temple of Heaven, while moderately blurring the foreground crowd.

2. Travel Tips:
① Ticket Prices: Entry ticket 15 RMB, combined ticket 34 RMB (includes entry, Temple of Heaven, Echo Wall, and Circular Mound), it's recommended to purchase the combined ticket.
② Opening Hours: 06:00 to 22:00, the Temple of Heaven opens at 08:00.
3. Additional Tips:
① You can also crouch down for a low angle shot, which can capture the starburst effect of sunlight filtering through the leaves.
② Shooting Ginkgo trees alone can be单调 (monotonous), so consider incorporating various elements of ancient architecture, such as red walls, architectural paintings, blue skies, and roof ornaments, which will result in more visually appealing photos. The leaves of the Ginkgo trees are particularly vibrant in the morning and afternoon light, making them appear like a tree ablaze with golden leaves.
