Photography tips
How this image was taken
For this shot at twilight, a shutter speed of 6 seconds creates a smooth motion blur in the flowing water, while an aperture of f/16 ensures deep focus throughout the frame. The 12mm focal length captures a wide perspective of the scene.

- Select a small aperture like f/16 to maintain sharpness across the entire image.
- Use a wide angle focal length to capture both the architecture and the surrounding area.
