Photography tips
How this image was taken
For this shot, the aperture of f/16 ensures high depth of field, while the shutter speed of 1/100 s at ISO 250 captures the light of the sunset in a balanced way.
- Choose a closed aperture such as f/16 to ensure that details in both the water and the clouds are captured sharply.
- Use a moderate shutter speed of 1/100 s to achieve a calm and clear image despite the movement of the water.
- Pay attention to the deliberate placement of the sun in backlight conditions to emphasize the contrast between the bright horizon and the dark clouds.
