Photography tips
How this image was taken
Using an aperture of f/22 creates the distinct sunstar effect with the low sun, while the fast shutter speed of 1/320 s allows for a sharp handheld shot. The focal length of 12 mm provides a wide perspective and emphasizes the chain in the foreground.
- Use the closed aperture of f/22 to turn light sources like the sun into a star.
- Choose a low camera angle to position the chain as a leading element in the foreground.
- Work with a 12 mm wide-angle lens to capture both the ground details and the architectural subject.
