The photographer stands in front of the rockery near the pond, using a low-angle shot to highlight the three-dimensionality of the rockery sculpture. Then, the photographer uses a central composition, placing the main body of the rockery in the center of the frame to ensure the integrity of the sculpture group. The frame includes the foreground pond, stone path, and the background is enhanced with green trees and blue sky and white clouds to add depth. It is recommended to use a wide-angle lens or a 1x lens on a mobile phone to capture more environmental details.

Tang Paradise – Garden Artificial Hill & Pond

Use a drone with a 1x focal length for a perfect shot. For models like the DJI Mavic 3 and above, you can also use the 70mm end to capture the view of Furong Garden and the Big Wild Goose Pagoda in the same frame. The composition should include the full view of Furong Garden, the lake, the distant Big Wild Goose Pagoda, and the evening sky, with the lines of the road and lake forming leading lines to guide the viewer's attention to the main subjects. Additional suggestions: Choose to shoot during sunset, adjust exposure to balance the light ratio between the sky and the ground, and display the architectural lighting and the gradient of evening glow colors.

Tang Paradise – Aerial City Night View

Photographers use drones for aerial photography, capturing images in a bird's-eye view, employing the rule of thirds composition, with the light rail positioned at the bottom one-third of the frame, the midground reserved for the lake, ancient architecture, and green trees, and the background incorporating the city skyline and the setting sun on the right, creating a clear sense of depth; the shot should include the full view of the light rail, Tang-style pagodas, reflections on the lake, and distant buildings, highlighting the blend of ancient and modern scenes. Additional suggestions: Capture the scene in the early morning or at dusk, taking advantage of the soft light and mist to enhance the atmosphere and depth of the image.

As shown in the picture, the model stands slightly sideways, with the photographer about 2 meters away. The photographer shoots at eye level. Pay attention to avoid pedestrians to keep the frame clean. It is recommended to use a camera with a zoom lens of 24-70 for shooting. The focal length should be 60, with an aperture of around f/4. The best time for shooting is around 5 PM.

Tang Paradise – Swing in Front of Pavilion

Position the subject in front of the building, with the photographer shooting from a low angle to capture both the large characters on the plaque and the person in the frame, highlighting the ancient charm of the building and the elegance of the person. Utilize the lines of the architecture as compositional elements to enhance the structural sense of the image. Additional tips: Set the camera to aperture priority mode (f/2.8 - f/5.6) and use central-weighted metering to ensure accurate exposure for the subject. For smartphone users, employ the "Portrait Mode" to blur the background and make the subject stand out.

Tang Paradise – Plaque Side Front

Utilize symmetrical composition with the central tower flanked by symmetrically arranged buildings on both sides, enhancing the sense of balance in the image. The framing includes the main body of the tower, the reflection in the pool, and the city lights in the background, adding richness to the layers. Shoot from a flat angle to preserve the verticality of the architecture and the completeness of the reflection, highlighting the brilliant night scenery with lights. Travel tips: The ticket price for adults is 120 RMB, with discounts for students and seniors; the lights are turned on at 19:00, and it is recommended to enter the park at 4 PM.

Tang Paradise – Aerial Ancient Building Night View

The cinematographer positioned the drone above the Datang芙蓉Garden, adopting a bird's-eye view angle with the camera tilted downward, directly facing the main group of buildings in the park, while incorporating the foreground fountain, midground architecture, and background city lights into the frame. In terms of composition, the rule of thirds is applied: the horizontal line is placed at the upper third of the image, stably dividing the skyline from the park; the main group of buildings is concentrated in the central area of the frame, forming the focal point of interest; the foreground fountain and light show are located in the lower third, creating a vertical spatial hierarchy with the group of buildings.

The model stands under the corridor, while the photographer stands about 1 meter opposite the model to capture the shot. The portrait should not be too large; include the surrounding scenery in the frame.

Photographer should slightly angle down, shooting from a perspective slightly below the exhibit cabinet to avoid glare interference. Use a centered composition to place the Tang Sancai horse-lead figurine in the center of the frame, directly highlighting the subject. Use a mid-range lens to clearly display its overall shape, color, and details. Additional tips: Do not use flash, as strong light can damage the surface glaze of the artifacts; make sure to turn off the flash.

1. Central Composition: Place the figurines in the center of the frame, focusing on both the details and the overall beauty. 2. Rule of Thirds Composition: Position key elements at the intersections of the grid or leave blank space on one side. 3.
