Photography tips
How this image was taken
Using an aperture of f/16 creates a distinct sunburst effect when shooting directly into the light, while the 1/100 s shutter speed is sufficient to capture the ship without blur.
- Use a closed aperture like f/16 to make the light source appear as a defined point.
- Select a focal length of 45 mm to compose the ship effectively within the scale of the lake.
- Adjust your ISO, such as the ISO 250 used here, to balance image noise and proper exposure in strong backlight.
