Photography tips

How this image was taken

With an aperture of f/16, you achieve a deep depth of field, ensuring that both the foreground chestnut leaves and the Chapel Bridge in the background remain sharp. The shutter speed of 1/80 s and the ISO value of 200 are well-balanced for the soft evening light.

  • Use natural elements like foliage as a natural frame to add depth to your image.
  • Select a small aperture, such as f/16, to keep both the foreground and background in focus.
  • Pay attention to your composition to ensure the main subject is highlighted by the tree branches rather than obscured by them.
