The photographer stands on the opposite side of the road from the main gate of the Palace Museum, facing the building directly and keeping the camera level to ensure a frontal perspective. Use a centered composition, placing the main elements of the building (the sign "Palace Museum" and the entrance porch) in the center of the frame to highlight the symmetrical beauty. Be sure to avoid clutter in the foreground, compress the distance between the foreground and background, and focus on the architectural details to reinforce the solemnity and visual impact of the main subject. Avoid dynamic distractions (such as pedestrians or vehicles) in the frame by choosing to shoot early in the morning or during less crowded times. This will make the image cleaner and emphasize the grandeur of the Palace Museum. 1. Shooting Time: It is recommended to shoot on a clear day. 2. Other Tips: Pay attention to traffic safety and public order.
