Photography tips
How this image was taken
With a focal length of 339 mm, you bring distant architecture close, while the aperture of f/6.3 provides a balanced depth of field. The shutter speed of 1/100 s at ISO 400 allows you to capture the autumnal light handheld.
- Use a long focal length to isolate architectural details like the Chapel Bridge tower from its surroundings.
- Ensure a fast shutter speed when using long focal lengths to avoid camera shake due to the high magnification.
- Find an elevated position to better capture the light reflections on the water, as seen in this image.
