When I was taking photos of cultural relics at the Shanghai Museum as a "fan site admin"

[Formerly popular photographer, phone-only photos, no editing] Whether it's the East or West Wing, the two days I visited were weekdays, so it wasn't too crowded. However, I felt too embarrassed to cling to the glass and take photos, so I had to find some tricky angles. For example: The Furniture Gallery on the fourth floor of the Shanghai Museum's People's Square Wing—I took photos through the window cracks. For the "Exquisite Fans" exhibition, I took photos upside down from the other side of the display case, through the gaps in the crowd, from the side, from behind, or simply ignored the composition and took the photos anyway. For the Rhinoceros Horn exhibition, I took some close-up shots. In the East Wing of the Shanghai Museum, the "Integration of Ancient and Modern" exhibition was mostly taken from the side. For the "Splendid Six Plates" exhibition, I took photos from a distance. Another method was to enter through the doorway, thinking I had captured a great empty shot, but... There was a cleaning staff member hiding behind the big screen in the lower left corner. ———————— By the way, here's a little trick for photographing gold/bronze artifacts: you can directly add a filter when taking the photo. You can choose a filter in your phone's photo album that closely matches the color of the actual object. Generally, choose the "Vivid" or "Floral" filter. This way, the color of the photo will be basically the same as the actual object.
