The photographer is positioned at eye level with the front of the eagle-shaped pottery tripod, allowing for a complete view of its front. In terms of composition, a central focus is used, placing the pottery tripod at the center of the frame to highlight the main subject and create a direct, stable visual impression. Additional Tips: 1. It is recommended to allocate a full day for a visit to the National Museum, as there are a wealth of historical artifacts to explore, offering a deep understanding of the culture. 2. The exhibition halls are quite large, so it's a good idea to plan your visiting time wisely to avoid exhaustion. 3. Visitor traffic is high on days off, so it's best to avoid peak hours.

The photographer is positioned below and to the side of the model, shooting upward to capture both the figure and the eaves of the ancient building. A vertical line composition is used, emphasizing the depth of the scene with the vertical lines of the eaves. A wide-angle lens is employed to include more of the eaves and background, highlighting the grandeur of the architecture and the interaction between the figure and the building. Additional tips: 1. Shoot between 9-11 AM or 3-5 PM. 2. Morning light is soft and can bring out the texture and color of the glazed tiles. 3. You can also shoot after the rain, as the wet tiles will appear even more vivid.

Lens Focal Length: Use a 24mm lens on a camera or the 1x zoom on a phone to capture the full subject while also showing some of the background environment. 4.
