Photography tips

How this image was taken

With an aperture of f/16 and a 15 mm wide-angle lens, you achieve a deep depth of field that keeps both the foreground trees and the Chapel Bridge sharp, while ISO 100 ensures high image quality.

  • Use a wide-angle lens to capture both the foreground trees and the course of the river in a single frame.
  • Select a small aperture such as f/16 to ensure sharpness from the nearby trees all the way to the background.
  • Position yourself low or close to prominent elements like the railing to lead the viewer's eye through the composition toward the main subject.
