The photographer uses a symmetrical composition, placing the main structure of the National Museum in the center of the frame to emphasize its dignified and symmetrical design. Standing directly in front, the photographer shoots at eye level to ensure the building appears perfectly vertical. The framing includes the entire building, the steps in front, the trees and streetlights on both sides, and the golden railings in the foreground, capturing the grandeur and surrounding atmosphere. It is recommended to use a standard focal length or the 2x zoom on a smartphone to avoid distortion and retain details.
