Photography tips
How this image was taken
For this shot, an aperture of f/6.3 was chosen to ensure the subject inside the glass sphere is sharp while the background remains softly blurred. The shutter speed of 1/60 s and an ISO of 320 provide balanced exposure with a 20 mm focal length.
- Use a wide aperture to isolate the subject within the glass sphere and create a smooth background.
- Select a wide angle lens to frame both the glass sphere in the foreground and the surrounding environment effectively.
- Pay attention to composition to position the glass sphere so that the reflection of the subject appears upside down but remains clearly visible.
