Photography tips
How this image was taken
For this shot, the shutter speed of 1/3 of a second allows for capturing the intentional motion blur of the passing vehicle, while the aperture of f/14 ensures sharp focus throughout the winter urban scene.
- Use a longer shutter speed to make movement visible within a static environment like a snowy station square.
- Choose a narrow aperture to maintain depth and keep all details from the foreground to the background in focus.
- Keep your ISO setting low when shooting in snowy conditions to maintain high image quality in overcast light.
