Photography tips
How this image was taken
Using a 12mm focal length allows you to capture a wide field of view, while an aperture of f/22 ensures deep focus throughout the frame. The shutter speed of 1/60 s combined with ISO 1000 provides a balanced exposure in the fading evening light.
- Use a wide-angle lens to intentionally include the foreground flowers in your composition.
- Apply a narrow aperture for architectural subjects to achieve significant depth of field from the close details to the tower.
- Pay attention to ISO settings when shooting in evening light to capture sufficient brightness despite using faster shutter speeds.
