Recommend that the photographer stands directly below the lamppost, using a low-angle shot to focus on the details at the top of the lamppost. Employ a central composition to place the main body of the lamppost in the center of the frame, highlighting its symmetrical structure and decorative textures. The framing should revolve around the top of the lamppost, with a background that only includes a clear blue sky to avoid any unnecessary elements.

Travel Tips: It is advised to reserve tickets one week in advance.
