Photography tips

How this image was taken

Using an aperture of f/16 provides deep focus, while the 15 mm focal length captures the expansive view of the Hofkirche and the river.

  • Use a wide-angle lens to create a sense of depth by incorporating a nearby object in the foreground.
  • Select a closed aperture like f/16 to ensure sharpness in both the foreground structure and the building in the background.
  • Pay attention to precise alignment when using a 15 mm focal length to control converging lines.
