Photography tips
How this image was taken
In this shot, the aperture of f/22 creates the distinct starburst effect around the sun, while the 16 mm focal length allows for a wide view through the arcades. The combination of a 1/60 s shutter speed and ISO 800 enabled a sharp handheld shot despite the challenging lighting.
- Use a closed aperture like f/22 to create the sun star effect around the light source.
- Use a 16 mm wide-angle lens to capture the spatial depth of the arcades and the shadows on the ground.
- Adjust your shutter speed and ISO carefully to ensure a sharp exposure under difficult lighting conditions.
