Photography tips

How this image was taken

With a focal length of 400 mm, the château was deliberately brought closer from a distance, while the aperture of f/6.3 allows for sufficient detail of the autumnal forest. The shutter speed of 1/125 s and ISO 400 balance the available light for a sharp capture.

  • Use a long focal length to compress the image and reduce the visual distance to the background.
  • Choose a medium aperture to clearly isolate the historic building from the autumn-colored forest.
  • Pay attention to the composition by using branches in the foreground to provide depth to your image.
