Using a low-angle shot, the photographer stands slightly below and in front of the stone marker, looking up to capture the traditional architectural eaves and carvings above the marker. The main subject, the "Yandai Xiejie" (Smoking Pipe Alley) stone marker, is placed at the center of the frame, ensuring that the text and relief patterns are complete and clear. The composition should include the entire stone marker, the eaves, and the detailed carvings above, with part of the brick wall in the background to enhance the historical atmosphere and incorporate more architectural details, showcasing the integration of the stone marker with the traditional architecture.
