Use leading lines composition, utilizing the walls and floor lines on both sides of the passage to guide the viewer's gaze to the 16mm Bar neon sign at the end. Shoot from a straight-on angle, standing directly at the entrance of the passage. Frame the shot to include the decorative paintings on both sides, floral decorations on the left, and the stone pathway on the ground to enhance depth. It is recommended to use a standard focal length or 2x zoom on a smartphone to highlight the neon sign and the layers of the environment. Travel Tip: Admission is free.
