Photography tips
How this image was taken
Using a focal length of 400 mm allows you to bring distant details like birds on a roof closer. The fast shutter speed of 1/500 s prevents motion blur, while the aperture of f/8 ensures sufficient depth of field.
- Use a telephoto lens to capture subjects on roofs without causing disturbance.
- Select a fast shutter speed to freeze the animals' movements sharply.
- Pay attention to a low ISO setting in bright light to achieve high image quality without image noise.
