Photography tips
How this image was taken
With a focal length of 19 mm and a shutter speed of 1/25 s, the duck in the foreground was captured clearly at an aperture of f/4.5, while the ISO 200 kept noise low under the cloudy lighting conditions.
- Choose a low perspective to photograph the duck at eye level and emphasize the foreground.
- Use a short focal length like 19 mm to capture both the animal and the architectural surroundings of the old town.
- Ensure a steady hand with a shutter speed of 1/25 s to avoid camera shake, even in the soft evening light.
