Photography tips
How this image was taken
A small aperture of f/18 was used to create the distinct sunburst, while the shutter speed of 1/60 s at ISO 400 ensured sufficient exposure within the shaded area of the Chapel Bridge.
- Use a small aperture (high f-number) to turn light sources into a sunburst.
- Choose a wide-angle focal length like 15 mm to optimally capture the architectural framing of the wooden roof.
- When shooting against the light, place the sun carefully at an edge to precisely control the desired light effect.
