Photography tips
How this image was taken
For this image, a shutter speed of 1.3 seconds was chosen to render the truck's motion as blur, while the aperture of f/22 ensures a deep depth of field. The ISO 200 setting keeps image noise low during this exposure.
- Use a long shutter speed to turn moving vehicles on a busy street into dynamic motion blur.
- Select a small aperture like f/22 so that both the foreground flower bed and the background architecture are captured in sharp detail.
- Pay attention to a deliberate composition where a static foreground element contrasts with the moving surroundings.
