Photography tips
How this image was taken
For this shot, an aperture of f/2.5 and a focal length of 22 mm were chosen to focus on the nearby geraniums while keeping the background soft. The fast shutter speed of 1/800 s precisely freezes the movement in the scene.
- Use a wide aperture to separate your foreground subject from the background through selective depth of field.
- Choose a fast shutter speed if you want to capture moving elements like flowing water or nearby details without motion blur.
- Experiment with a wide-angle lens to consciously incorporate the flowers as a framing element within your composition.
