Using a centered composition, the "Beijing Central Axis" stone marker is placed in the center of the frame to highlight its prominence. The photographer shoots at eye level to ensure the stone marker is perfectly vertical and straight. The framing should include the entire stone marker, the gray brick wall in the background, and the sign above it that reads "Clock Tower" as a historical context. Ensure the text is clear and the composition is balanced. Travel Tip: The entrance fee is 10 RMB.
