The photographer stands to the left of the pavilion, under a tree, and takes a slightly upward shot, ensuring that the branches naturally frame the foreground. Use a framing composition, with the branches serving as a foreground frame to highlight the intricate details and layers of the octagonal pavilion’s eaves. It is recommended to use a 50mm (2x on a phone) medium telephoto lens, which is suitable for focusing on the pavilion’s eaves details and the foreground branches. Incorporate new leaf branches in the foreground, focus on the decorative elements of the octagonal pavilion’s eaves, and keep the background simple, primarily the sky, to avoid distractions.

1. Equipment information: Fujifilm XE4 + 18-50mm f2.8.
2. Travel tips: The best time for shooting is around 15:00, when the sunlight is good.
