Photography Tips
The photographer uses a centered composition to place the large fossil exhibit in the middle of the frame, fully showcasing the fossil details. The model stands to the left of the exhibit, gently touching the surface of the fossil with both hands and leaning slightly forward to observe, enhancing the sense of exploration and interaction. The photographer shoots from a low angle using a standard lens/cell phone 2x zoom, incorporating the “Sea Lily” information sign on the left side of the background to provide additional exhibit information while keeping the composition clean and uncluttered. Travel Tip: The museum is open from Tuesday to Sunday, 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, with the last entry at 4:30 PM. It is closed on Mondays (except for national holidays).
