Photography tips

How this image was taken

In this shot, the aperture of f/20 ensures a high depth of field, allowing both the pansies in the foreground and the timber structure of the Chapel Bridge to appear sharp. The 18 mm focal length emphasises the spatial relationship between the foreground and background.

  • Use a high f-number like f/20 to achieve focus from the foreground to the background.
  • Select a wide-angle focal length of 18 mm to integrate the foreground and create a sense of depth.
  • Monitor your shutter speed when using high f-numbers to avoid blur, keeping the ISO at 800 to balance exposure.
