Photography tips
How this image was taken
In this shot, the aperture of f/14 provides deep depth of field, while the 12 mm focal length captures the scene with a wide perspective. The shutter speed of 1/80 s and ISO 500 settings ensured a clear rendering of the snow-covered scenery under an overcast sky.
- Use a wide angle lens to include both the snowy foreground and the architecture within the composition.
- Choose a small aperture to ensure focus from the nearby bank to the Chapel Bridge.
- Pay attention to the exposure of the snow to retain detail in the white surface and prevent overexposure.
