Photography tips
How this image was taken
This shot was captured in low light using a 12 mm focal length to encompass the entire interior. The wide aperture of f/2 and an ISO of 4000 allow for sufficient exposure of the dark church environment at a shutter speed of 1/8 s.
- Select a fast shutter speed to minimize motion blur caused by the visitors in the frame.
- Use a wide-angle focal length to fully capture the height and depth of the architecture.
- Pay attention to your aperture and ISO settings to ensure enough detail in the vault despite the challenging lighting conditions.
