Photography tips
How this image was taken
For this image, a narrow aperture of f/22 was chosen to create the distinct sunburst effect at the edge of the wall. The ISO 160 and shutter speed of 1/80 s ensure a balanced exposure at this 30 mm focal length.
- Use a small aperture like f/22 to make the sun appear as a star-shaped burst.
- When shooting against the light, position the camera so that the sun is partially obscured by an object.
- Experiment with the focal length to adjust the visual relationship between the architecture and the light.
