Photography tips
How this image was taken
This shot uses a small aperture of f/20 to achieve a deep depth of field within the glass ball, while the long shutter speed of 2.5 s allows for a stable exposure in backlit conditions. The focal length of 33 mm provides an appropriate framing of the glass ball against the Chapel Bridge.
- Use a small aperture to capture both the subject inside the ball and the surrounding light in a controlled manner.
- Pay attention to the positioning of the ball when shooting in backlight to create compelling light effects like sunstars.
- Experiment with the perspective to align the reflection of the historic wooden bridge precisely within the ball.
