Photography tips
How this image was taken
This shot was captured with an aperture of f/16, providing deep depth of field and accentuating the light source, while the 1/100 s shutter speed is sufficient to freeze the motion of the ship. The ISO of 250 maintains good image quality under the given lighting conditions.
- Use an aperture of f/16 to achieve deep depth of field when shooting against the light and to accentuate the sun's rays.
- Choose a shutter speed of 1/100 s or faster to capture the movement of the ship on the water without blur.
- Focus on the composition by positioning the ship so that it remains the clear subject, despite the intense colours of the sunset.
