How to shoot ancient buildings and ancient city walls with SLR? I hope to give suggestions from the perspective of composition and camera settings. I am a novice SLR.

My friend, I am very interested in your topic, which I need to learn and discuss.

Let's talk about my personal experience when shooting.

When shooting the ancient city wall, I usually use super wide-angle lens and diagonal composition to make the picture have a strong impact.

At the same time, pay attention to the use of aperture, both large aperture and small aperture can be tried, and the effect will be very different.

When shooting an ancient building, if it is a close-up view with doors, especially the layered doors inside, use a frame composition to add a telephoto.

If it is a long-distance shooting, also use telephoto to compress the space.

You can also take some backlit silhouette, consciously.

The best time to shoot the above picture is in the morning and evening.

I have also photographed Terracotta Warriors, focusing on local and close-ups, and all of them have large apertures.

Of course, you can also shoot some big scenes, and you should pay attention to controlling the depth of field with aperture.

Pay attention to the staggered queues when shooting, and disable the flash.
