Photography tips
How this image was taken
In this image, the selected aperture of f/16 ensures a deep depth of field, keeping both the foreground railing and the church in the background in focus. The combination of ISO 100 and a shutter speed of 1/80 s allows for a precise image without unnecessary noise in the given light.
- Use a wide-angle lens like 15 mm to deliberately frame a subject using an element in the immediate foreground.
- Choose a small aperture of f/11 or higher if you want to keep both the foreground and background sharp.
- Pay attention to balanced exposure under overcast skies to preserve details in the brighter cloud formations.
