Photography tips
How this image was taken
For this shot, an aperture of f/25 and a focal length of 20 mm were used to keep both the fountain in the foreground and the old town in the background in focus. The shutter speed of 1/80 s at ISO 400 ensures correct exposure under clear daylight.
- Use a wide-angle lens to include the fountain closely while capturing the surrounding old town.
- Choose a small aperture to achieve a deep depth of field from the foreground to the background.
- Position yourself low at the fountain to add depth to the image through the immediate foreground.
