Photography tips

How this image was taken

This daylight shot uses an aperture of f/9 to achieve high detail across the entire building, while the fast shutter speed of 1/500 s ensures a crisp image. With an ISO of 100, the photo remains free of noise, capturing the architectural structures with precision.

  • Choose a mid-range aperture like f/9 to keep both the dome and facade details in sharp focus.
  • Use a fast shutter speed to consistently avoid motion blur in architectural photography.
  • Pay attention to a symmetrical composition to highlight the central symmetry of the Federal Palace.
