Photography tips
How this image was taken
For this shot, an aperture of f/9 and a focal length of 30 mm were used to ensure sufficient depth of field for both the Ferris wheel and the reflection in the foreground. The shutter speed of 1/80 s and ISO 250 allow for a sharp handheld shot under cloudy lighting conditions.
- Look specifically for puddles on flat surfaces to use reflections as a natural compositional element.
- Position the camera as close as possible to the water surface to optimize the perspective of the reflection.
- Choose a medium aperture to achieve good depth of field from the foreground to the subject in the distance.
