Photography Tips
The model stands at the center of the iron gate, and the photographer stands a little further away, shooting straight on at eye level. Use a centered composition to place the iron gate and the "221B" doorplate in the center of the frame, with the symmetrically placed lamps and iron railings creating a balanced feel in the image. It is recommended to use a 50mm lens on a camera or a 2x zoom on a smartphone to highlight the model and the main elements of the scene, avoiding a cluttered image. 1. Shooting Equipment: Fuji XE4, 18-50mm f2.8 lens. 2. Posing: The model stands with arms crossed against the wall, slightly turned to the side or looking directly into the lens to enhance the integration of the person with the environment. 3. Travel Tips: ① Ticket Price: 89 RMB per person. ② Opening Hours: 10:00 AM - 10:00 PM. 4. Dress Suggestions: The exhibition features a wide variety of items and colors, so simple clothing is recommended.
