Photography tips
How this image was taken
For this shot, an aperture of f/16 was used to achieve deep focus, ensuring both the nearby foreground and the distant Chapel Bridge remain sharp, while ISO 100 provides optimal image quality.
- Use an ultra-wide-angle lens with 15 mm focal length to capture the riverbank, the architecture, and the expansive sky in a single frame.
- When composing the image, use architectural elements like the building facades on the left as leading lines to create a sense of depth.
- Choose a small aperture like f/16 so that all planes of the image appear sharp from front to back.
