Photography tips
How this image was taken
For this shot in daylight, a 15 mm focal length was used to capture both the magnolia blossoms and the defense tower. The small aperture of f/22 provides a high depth of field, while the ISO 250 and a shutter speed of 1/60 s ensure proper exposure on a sunny day.
- Use a wide-angle focal length such as 15 mm to include the subject along with the surrounding area in the frame.
- Choose a small aperture if you want to keep both the foreground and the background in focus.
- Focus on your composition by deliberately placing the blooming shrub in the foreground in front of the historic architectural structure.
