Photography tips
How this image was taken
To achieve sufficient exposure in the challenging lighting conditions of the church, a combination of the wide aperture of f/4, a shutter speed of 1/10 s, and a high ISO value of 3200 was used. The focal length of 12 mm allows capturing the entire depth of the room including the high ceiling architecture.
- Choose a short shutter speed to minimize camera shake when shooting handheld and adjust the ISO value upwards if necessary.
- Use a wide-angle lens such as 12 mm to capture the monumental effect of the architecture and the light projections in their entirety.
- Pay attention to the balance between light intake and depth of field when choosing the aperture to render both the details in the altar area and the ceiling structure sharply.
