Photography tips

How this image was taken

With an aperture of f/25, you achieve a deep depth of field that keeps both the foliage in the foreground and the church building in focus, while the ISO 250 and 1/60 s shutter speed provide a balanced exposure in daylight.

  • Use foliage in the foreground as a natural frame to add depth to your image.
  • Choose a small aperture setting if you want to capture both close-up details and distant architecture in sharp focus.
  • Pay attention to vertical alignment with a 30 mm focal length to minimize converging lines on the facade.
