Photography tips
How this image was taken
For this shot, a fast shutter speed of 1/500 s was selected to ensure a sharp image, while the 22 mm focal length provides a wide field of view. The aperture of f/2 allows for ample light intake at an ISO of 400.
- Use the pond in the foreground to capture the full reflection of the monument.
- Choose a low angle close to the water to emphasize the symmetry between the real monument and its reflection.
- Ensure a fast shutter speed to avoid movement in the water, resulting in a crisp reflection.
