Photography tips
How this image was taken
For this shot, the focal length of 150 mm provides strong compression of the subject, while the aperture of f/10 ensures sufficient depth of field to capture the textures of the sculpture. The shutter speed of 1/320 s allows for a shake-free image when shooting handheld at this focal length.
- Use a longer focal length to specifically highlight details of the sculpture from a distance.
- Choose a moderate aperture like f/10 to keep both the lion and the shields in focus.
- Ensure a sufficiently fast shutter speed to prevent motion blur when using a telephoto lens.
