China Geological Museum - Taking a photo with reptile fossil exhibits

1. Shooting Angle: The photographer stands on the opposite side of the road, at eye level, to capture a full view of the front facade and surrounding environment of the China Geological Museum. 2. Composition Technique: The composition uses vertical lines, where the vertical lines of the building enhance the stability and solemnity of the image. The rule of thirds is applied, dividing the image horizontally into three sections: sky, building, and ground with surrounding facilities, creating a clear sense of layers. Additionally, the use of the foreground, such as the road, traffic signs, and trees, contrasts with the background of the museum building, highlighting the main structure. 3. Lens Usage: A standard lens is used. The normal proportions of the building and surrounding scenery, without noticeable distortion, indicate that the standard lens accurately reproduces the appearance of the museum and its surroundings, allowing the viewer to see the entire building and its setting clearly.

The photographer should shoot from a slightly higher position, with the model standing sideways and looking at the exhibit in the display case, positioned at the right one-third of the frame using the rule of thirds. The display case on the left balances the composition. The model’s natural pose should enhance the sense of interaction, and the background should be blurred to retain the gallery lighting, highlighting the connection between the subject and the exhibit. A standard focal length lens is recommended.

The photographer should use a wide-angle lens for a flat shot to capture the entire scene. The frame should include the skeletal fossils, dinosaur models, foreground green plants, and background forest murals to enhance the depth of the scene. The main elements should be arranged according to the rule of thirds, with the fossils and models positioned on the left and right one-third of the frame, respectively, to balance the composition and highlight the vividness of the prehistoric setting.
