Photography tips
How this image was taken
In this shot taken in evening light, the chosen aperture of f/22 ensures significant depth of field, while the 12 mm focal length allows for a wide field of view. The shutter speed of 1/60 s and the ISO setting of 800 balance the lighting conditions created by the low-hanging sun.
- Use a small aperture to achieve sharp focus from the flowers in the foreground to the water tower in the background.
- Employ a wide-angle lens to capture the expansive perspective of the bridge.
- Pay attention to the contrast between the shadowed areas of the wooden structure and the golden-lit masonry.
