Photography tips
How this image was taken
With the selected aperture of f/10, you achieve sufficient depth of field to clearly depict the fine textures of the sandstone, while the shutter speed of 1/500 s at a focal length of 150 mm minimizes blur.
- Use a longer focal length like 150 mm to focus on specific details of the sculpture and isolate the background.
- Use a moderate ISO of 200 in bright daylight to achieve high image quality without image noise.
- Select an aperture in the mid-range like f/10 to capture both the foreground and background levels of the relief structure in sharp focus.
