Photography tips
How this image was taken
For this shot, the aperture of f/6.3 provides sufficient depth of field, while the ISO 100 ensures clear image quality. The shutter speed of 1/160 s at a focal length of 25 mm is ideal for capturing the subject sharply.
- Use a low perspective directly at the water basin to capture reflections.
- Select a medium aperture for optimal settings to keep both the monument and the reflection sharp.
- Focus on a precise composition that highlights the symmetry between the subject and its reflection.
