Photography tips
How this image was taken
In this evening light shot, the aperture of f/22 and shutter speed of 1/30 s at ISO 100 ensure deep depth of field and a distinct sunstar effect on the lamp. The 12 mm focal length captures the expansive urban setting.
- Use a wide-angle lens to deliberately include the foreground bridge railing in your composition.
- Select a small aperture like f/22 to render the sun's point of light as a star.
- Pay attention to your perspective to ensure the vertical lines of the church remain straight in your frame.
