Photography tips
How this image was taken
This shot was taken with an aperture of f/9 to ensure depth of field and a low ISO of 64 to minimize image noise. The shutter speed of 1/4 s combined with a 12 mm focal length helped to capture the calm atmosphere on a cloudy day.
- Use a small aperture like f/9 so that both the bridge in the foreground and the water tower in the background remain sharp.
- Select a low ISO value to maintain high image quality even in overcast light.
- Use a wide focal length of 12 mm to capture the entire scene expansively.
- Ensure stable camera support for longer exposure times like 1/4 s to prevent motion blur.
