Photography tips
How this image was taken
Using a 22 mm focal length allows you to capture the fountain in the foreground and the Lion Monument in the background. The small aperture of f/29 ensures a deep depth of field, while the shutter speed of 1/40 s and ISO 800 balance the scene in these lighting conditions.
- Use the nearby fountain as a graphic element in the foreground to create depth in your composition.
- Choose a small aperture like f/29 when you want to keep both the object directly in front of the lens and the main subject in the background in focus.
- Consider your perspective carefully so that the foreground and background complement each other without obstructing one another.
