The photographer is positioned at the front side of the "1945" installation, capturing the scene from a level perspective. Using the rule of thirds, the "1945" installation occupies the left one-third of the frame, while the Great Hall of the People and the red flags above occupy the right two-thirds of the frame. A standard lens is used to accurately represent the scale of the scene, showing the spatial relationship between the "1945" installation and the Great Hall of the People, balancing the two with the rule of thirds to convey a solemn atmosphere.

Additional suggestions: 
① Remove all electronic devices in advance;
② Keep paper documents separate (they will be checked thoroughly);
③ Open water bottles in advance.

The photographer was situated in the middle of Beiluoguxiang Street, capturing the scene from a flat perspective, fully presenting the spatial relationship between the street, the white wax tree, and the surrounding buildings. A central composition was used, placing the golden white wax tree at the center of the frame, making it the visual focus with its tall form and color, while also using the buildings and vehicles on both sides of the street to enhance the sense of depth in the image. A standard lens was employed to accurately reproduce the scene's proportions and precisely capture the details of the street and the overall shape of the white wax tree, resulting in an image that is both full of life and highlights the main subject.

Other tips:
①Choose to visit on a sunny day; the sunlight in the alleyways creates excellent photographic opportunities.
②Utilize elements such as the walls, doors, windows, and bicycles in the alleyways as backgrounds to add depth to the image.
