Photography tips

How this image was taken

Using an aperture of f/11 ensures a deep depth of field, keeping both the architectural details of the church and the building facades sharp. The 45 mm focal length compresses the perspective, while the ISO 500 setting balances the available evening light.

  • Use the perspective of the narrow alleys to focus the viewer's eye on the church tower.
  • Pay attention to composition by creating a symmetrical frame between the surrounding building facades.
  • Choose your settings carefully to maintain sufficient depth of field for the architecture while light is fading.
