Photography tips
How this image was taken
For this shot, an aperture of f/22 was selected to create the sunstar effect typical in backlight situations, while the shutter speed of 1/500 s precisely captures the bright light. The focal length of 45 mm allows for a sharp focus on the architectural edge.
- Use a closed aperture such as f/22 to render the sun as a star shape.
- Pay attention to precise alignment of the roof edge to achieve a clear composition with the backlight.
- Choose a low ISO setting to cleanly render the contrasts between the building and the sky.
