Photography tips
How this image was taken
For this shot under a cloudy sky, an aperture of f/22 was used to achieve great depth of field, while ISO 1600 kept the shutter speed at 1/60 s. The 16 mm focal length emphasizes the wide perspective of the Chapel Bridge.
- Use a wide-angle focal length to capture both the architectural subject and the close foreground.
- Plan your composition by choosing a small detail as a foreground to add depth to the image.
- Pay attention to image noise when using a high aperture, as the high ISO value was necessary in this situation to stabilize exposure.
