Photography tips

How this image was taken

For this image, an aperture of f/20 was chosen to achieve a deep depth of field, while the 14 mm focal length utilizes wide-angle capabilities to capture both the flowers in the foreground and the Chapel Bridge.

  • Use a small aperture like f/20 to ensure both the camellias in the foreground and the historic structure appear sharp.
  • Utilize a wide-angle focal length of 14 mm to create a dynamic perspective and place the flowers as a compositional element close to the subject.
  • With a shutter speed of 1/60 s, ensure you hold the camera steady to avoid blur, despite the small aperture opening.
