Photography tips

How this image was taken

In this shot, a shutter speed of 1/125 s and an aperture of f/5 were used to capture the available light at ISO 100. The 20 mm focal length allowed for a wide capture of the historic scenery.

  • Use a wide-angle lens for architectural and landscape photography to capture the entire frame including the reflections in the water.
  • Select a low ISO setting like ISO 100 to achieve high image quality and minimal noise in your shot.
  • Pay attention to the composition and the interaction between the fading sunset and the details of the city buildings.
