Photography tips
How this image was taken
For this image, an aperture of f/11 and an ISO of 200 were chosen to ensure deep focus and low noise, while the shutter speed of 1/100 s ensures a sharp, shake-free result.
- Use a stopped-down aperture like f/11 to capture both the Hofkirche and the buildings along the promenade with consistent sharpness.
- Select a low ISO setting like 200 to maintain image quality and prevent digital noise under these lighting conditions.
- Work with a focal length of 28 mm to frame the architectural features within their urban surroundings.
