Photography tips
How this image was taken
For this shot in fading light, a shutter speed of 3.2 s was used to smooth the water surface, while an aperture of f/10 ensures depth of field. The low ISO of 200 keeps image noise to a minimum.
- Use a longer shutter speed to calm the movement of the water and enhance the reflections.
- Choose a narrow aperture like f/10 to achieve deep focus from the foreground to the background.
- Keep the ISO setting as low as possible to ensure high image quality in the evening light.
