Photography tips

How this image was taken

This shot uses a focal length of 15 mm to capture the historic building and the river in a wide frame. The small aperture of f/22 ensures deep depth of field, while the ISO 500 and shutter speed of 1/80 s balance the bright daylight.

  • Use a wide-angle lens to capture both the tall facades and the surrounding area in one frame.
  • Place a close element like flowers intentionally in the foreground to add depth to your image.
  • Choose a small aperture if you want to keep both your close subject and the distant architecture in focus.
