Photography tips
How this image was taken
For this sunny motif, the combination of a fast shutter speed of 1/400 s and low ISO 100 ensures a sharp capture of the fountain with optimal image quality. The aperture of f/6.3 provides sufficient depth of field to keep both the fountain in the foreground and the Jesuit Church with the waterfront architecture in the background in focus.
- Use a fast shutter speed to freeze the movement of the water and capture the texture of the fountain in detail.
- Select a moderate aperture so that both your foreground subject and the historic architecture in the background remain sharp.
- In bright daylight, use a low ISO setting to minimize image noise and achieve high detail.
