Photography tips
How this image was taken
This shot at dusk uses a shutter speed of 1/8 s and an aperture of f/2.2 at ISO 800 to capture the ambient light while softening the background.
- Use a wide aperture to separate the foreground fuchsias from the town hall through a shallow depth of field.
- Choose a slower shutter speed to keep the ISO low and maintain image quality in low-light conditions.
- Intentionally place a nearby object in the foreground to create depth within the architectural composition.
