Photography tips
How this image was taken
This shot uses an aperture of f/13 to achieve sufficient depth of field despite the 135 mm focal length, while ISO 160 ensures clean image quality.
- Utilize strong contrasts between light and shadow to emphasize architectural shapes.
- Use a longer focal length to incorporate architectural details like a lantern as a prominent foreground element.
- Choose an aperture that balances the play of light with the depth of the alley.
