Photography tips
How this image was taken
Using an aperture of f/10 provides a deep depth of field, ensuring that both the flowing water in the foreground and the architecture of the Hofkirche remain sharp. The fast shutter speed of 1/800 s freezes the motion of the water, and in combination with ISO 200, it ensures a clear image in bright daylight.
- Use an aperture of f/10 when you want your image to appear sharp from front to back.
- Choose a fast shutter speed to intentionally freeze the movement of flowing water.
- Focus on the composition by positioning the striking towers in relation to the river to create a balanced visual effect.
