Photography tips
How this image was taken
For this image, the long exposure time of 2.5 seconds combined with the small aperture of f/22 allows for deliberate control over the water's surface while maintaining a deep depth of field.
- Use a long exposure time to smooth the movement of the water and make the architectural reflections appear calmer.
- Select a small aperture (high f-number) to achieve a deep depth of field from the foreground to the background.
- Use a low ISO setting of 100 to ensure high image quality without digital noise in this shot.
- Utilize a wide-angle lens of 15 mm to capture the historic buildings and the surroundings in a broad view.
