Photography tips
How this image was taken
To capture the sun as a distinct star, an aperture of f/22 was used. The short shutter speed of 1/1000 s combined with an ISO of 500 ensures a correct exposure for the silhouette.
- Use a small aperture like f/22 to create the characteristic starburst effect from the light source.
- Position your subject as a silhouette directly in front of the low sun to emphasize contrast.
- Choose a framing where architectural details like a building roof complement the composition.
