Photography tips
How this image was taken
These settings enable a handheld shot in a dark environment. The aperture of f/4 provides sufficient light transmission, while ISO 5000 makes the sensor sensitive enough to capture a correctly exposed image at a shutter speed of 1/13 s.
- Choose a short focal length like 12 mm to capture the full width and symmetry of the nave.
- Use a wide aperture to allow for a short shutter speed despite the challenging lighting, helping to avoid motion blur.
- Ensure the camera is perfectly aligned so that the vertical lines of the architecture remain parallel in the frame.
