Photography tips
How this image was taken
Using a focal length of 30 mm and an aperture of f/6.3 allows you to achieve a selective depth of field, where the glass sphere in the foreground is rendered sharply while the background fades into a soft blur. The shutter speed of 1/60 s and an ISO of 200 contribute to a steady and detailed capture of the reflection.
- Position the glass sphere deliberately in the foreground to create a distinct contrast to the blurred surroundings.
- Use a moderate aperture setting so that both the sphere and its contents remain clearly visible.
- Pay attention to the camera angle to capture the reflection of the rock face centrally within the glass sphere.
