The photographer should shoot slightly from above, with a slight tilt, forming a diagonal angle with the surface of the artifact to enhance the three-dimensional and layered effect of the image. Use the rule of thirds, placing the two Qin slips in the right third of the frame, leaving a blurry background on the left to create visual balance. Use a camera to ensure the subject is sharp and the background is blurred, highlighting the details of the artifact. Utilize the display case lighting, avoid frontal reflections, and adjust the exposure to retain the text details on the Qin slips. 1. Travel Tips: ① Admission: Free. 2. Other Tips: Turn off the flash when taking photos, take care of the artifacts, and follow the museum's rules for visitors.
