Best angle: Shoot slightly from the top to capture the full black and white color scheme
Creative composition: Use foreground bamboo leaves to add layering
2. Engagement Strategy

Observe the signal: When the panda rubs the marker, it indicates that it is about to be active
Stay time: It is recommended to observe a single panda for 15-20 minutes
Questioning Tips: Ask the keeper "How is it feeling today?" for an interesting story
