Take a low angle shot from the front of the building, looking up to emphasize the carved details at the top and the inscription “National Museum of China.” Use the rule of thirds, placing the main structure on the left one-third of the frame, and position a full moon in the upper right corner at the intersection of the thirds to balance the composition. Frame the shot to include parts of the building, roof decorations, and a complete full moon, with a dark night sky as the background. Admission: Free.
