The photographer stands in front of the display case, placing the exhibit in the center of the frame to capture the complete overview of the artifact (including the top carving, body patterns, and base). The background is kept simple with only soft lighting. A standard lens is recommended to clearly show the details. Pay attention to adjusting the angle to avoid reflections from the glass.

Additional tips:
1. Enter according to the scheduled time; early arrivals are not allowed.
2. The wall in the Tang Dynasty exhibit is suitable for taking photos.

Place the main part of the stone stele in the center of the frame, highlighting the inscription details. When framing, include some other exhibits inside the display case on the sides to enhance the sense of environment, but make sure they do not distract from the main subject. Ensure the inscription is clear and complete. Accurately represent the scene, maintaining the normal proportional relationship between the stone stele and the surrounding exhibits.

The model is positioned slightly to the right of center, with the photographer shooting at eye level, using the rule of thirds for composition. The left side of the frame is left empty to showcase the red walls and snow-covered roofs of the Forbidden City, balancing the composition. The scene includes the red walls, rooftops, and the snowy foreground, enhancing the atmosphere. The model stands sideways, with her head slightly turned, in a natural pose. A wide-angle lens is recommended to capture both the details of the model and the full extent of the background architecture.

1. Positioning: The photographer stands at a slight distance in front of the iron ball, shooting at eye level.
2. Composition: Use contrasting composition, where the silver reflective iron ball contrasts with the red traditional architecture in terms of color and material, highlighting the iron ball as the main subject; the bare trees contrast with the neat architectural lines.
3. Lens Usage: Use a medium to long focal length lens to blur part of the background, clearly showcasing the reflective details of the iron ball, the texture of the building's windows and doors, and the shape of the trees, making the main subject stand out more distinctly.
