Photography tips
How this image was taken
In this shot, the short shutter speed of 1/1000 s, combined with an aperture of f/4 and ISO 250, ensures a balanced exposure of the historic buildings under the golden light. The 45 mm focal length provides a natural representation of the urban architecture.
- Use an aperture of f/4 to achieve good separation between the architectural details and the background in this soft light.
- Select a shutter speed of 1/1000 s to capture the fine structures of the rooftops and towers sharply, even without a tripod.
- When using a focal length of 45 mm, choose a framing that emphasizes the interplay between the evening light in the sky and the buildings in the old town.
