Photography tips
How this image was taken
In this shot using a 300 mm focal length, an aperture of f/13 ensures sufficient depth of field, while the 1/250 s shutter speed prevents motion blur at this distance. The ISO 800 setting compensates for the light levels on a grey winter day.
- Use a long focal length to isolate the church spire against the background.
- Select a narrow aperture like f/13 to maintain detailed sharpness despite the high magnification.
- Pay attention to correct exposure when shooting snow to prevent the white areas from washing out.
