Photography tips
How this image was taken
For this image in bright daylight, a short shutter speed of 1/640 s was chosen to freeze the motion of the boats, while an aperture of f/8 and ISO 100 ensure high image quality.
- Use a short shutter speed to capture subjects on the water sharply.
- Work with a foreground, such as these branches, to add depth to your composition.
- Use a longer focal length to bring the boats closer and focus the framing intentionally.
