Photography tips

How this image was taken

This shot at 35 mm focal length uses an aperture of f/14 for a deep depth of field, while the shutter speed of 1/40 s and low ISO of 200 ensure a steady capture of the wintry scene.

  • Use a stopped-down aperture like f/14 to achieve a deep depth of field and render the details of the Chapel Bridge sharp from foreground to background.
  • Select a focal length of 35 mm to obtain a natural perspective that integrates the subject into its winter environment.
  • Pay attention to exposure compensation when capturing snow to accurately reflect the brightness of the scene.
