Photography tips
How this image was taken
In this shot, an aperture of f/25 was used to achieve a deep depth of field, ensuring that both the rooftops in the foreground and the castle in the background are clearly defined. The focal length of 118 mm helps to visually compress the distance between the different image layers.
- Choose a narrow aperture if you want to achieve consistent sharpness from nearby buildings to the castle.
- Use a telephoto focal length to bring the castle closer to your foreground subjects and compress the composition.
- Pay attention to the balance between shutter speed and ISO when selecting your settings to ensure proper exposure despite using a small aperture.
