Photography tips
How this image was taken
This image was captured using a 100 mm focal length and an aperture of f/6.3, focusing precisely on the edges of the steps. The shutter speed of 1/100 s at ISO 800 allowed capturing the incident light while keeping the rest in shadow.
- Use a longer focal length to specifically highlight architectural details and close-up sections.
- Experiment with exposure metering in backlit conditions to correctly render the bright contours of the steps.
- Pay attention to deliberate composition, using dark areas as a frame to emphasize the light.
