Photography tips

How this image was taken

Using an aperture of f/18 allows for a deep depth of field, keeping both the foreground blossoms and the distant watchtower in focus. The 1/30 s shutter speed combined with ISO 200 ensures a balanced exposure across the frame.

  • Use a close foreground to create a natural frame with the blossoms.
  • Choose a small aperture like f/18 to ensure details from near to far remain sharp.
  • Place prominent structures like the street lamp deliberately to create a sense of depth.
