Photography tips
How this image was taken
For this shot in winter light, an aperture of f/20 was chosen to achieve a deep depth of field, while the shutter speed of 0.5 seconds ensures an even exposure. The 12 mm focal length provided the wide perspective of the Chapel Bridge.
- Use a small aperture to achieve continuous sharpness from the foreground to the background.
- Select a longer shutter speed to capture enough light even in overcast winter weather.
- Use a wide-angle lens to capture the architectural impact of the bridge within its urban setting.
