Photography tips
How this image was taken
In this backlit photograph, the narrow aperture of f/22 creates the distinct sunstar effect, while the 12 mm focal length allows for a wide field of view.
- Use a small aperture like f/22 to capture light sources as distinct rays.
- Include a striking object in the foreground to add depth to your wide-angle shot.
- Pay attention to your framing when shooting directly into the sun to creatively use or minimize lens flare.
