Photography tips
How this image was taken
For this shot at 1/200 s, f/16 aperture, and ISO 200, a narrow aperture was selected to precisely capture the light of the sun. The fast shutter speed ensures that the movement of the water surface is clearly rendered.
- Use a narrow aperture like f/16 to control the sunlight when shooting against the light.
- Choose a fast shutter speed to capture the details and reflections on the rippling water surface.
- Pay attention to the exposure so that the texture of the clouds is maintained in the evening light.
