Photography tips
How this image was taken
In this daylight shot, the ISO 100 and a short shutter speed of 1/100 s provide a clean exposure, while the closed aperture of f/20 allows for a deep depth of field to capture both the glass sphere and the background.
- Place the glass sphere in the foreground so that the main subject is clearly reflected upside down within it.
- Use a closed aperture like f/20 to achieve high depth of field and keep the background recognizable.
- Experiment with the distance to the sphere at 50 mm focal length to optimally position the subject within the glass.
