Photography tips
How this image was taken
For this shot, an aperture of f/22 was used to capture the stone texture precisely at 45 mm, while an ISO of 2500 allowed for a shutter speed of 1/100 s in the diminishing light.
- Use a small aperture like f/22 to render light sources as sunstars and achieve high depth of field.
- Monitor your ISO settings during sunset to ensure sufficient brightness for masonry details despite short shutter speeds.
- Choose a framing where the incoming light optimally emphasizes the surface texture of the stone.
