Photography tips

How this image was taken

Using an aperture of f/18 allows for a deep depth of field, ensuring that both the geraniums in the foreground and the Jesuit Church in the background remain in focus. The combination of the 15 mm focal length and the selected aperture supports a detailed composition.

  • Use a strong foreground element, such as the flowers on the Chapel Bridge, to add depth to your shot.
  • Select a small aperture to keep your subject sharp from the close-up details to the distant buildings.
  • Pay attention to keeping the camera level when using a 15 mm focal length to minimize distortion in architectural lines.
