Photography tips
How this image was taken
For this image, a long exposure time of 1 second and a small aperture of f/20 were chosen to depict the water surface as smooth and calm while ensuring a deep depth of field.
- Use a small aperture like f/20 if you aim for consistent sharpness from the foreground to the background.
- Apply a longer shutter speed to smooth out the movement of the water, creating a tranquil atmosphere.
- Choose a low ISO setting like ISO 64 to minimize image noise and ensure high detail quality.
- Utilize a wide-angle lens at 12 mm to effectively capture the urban scale and the architecture along the river.
