Photography tips
How this image was taken
Using an aperture of f/16 allows for a deep depth of field, ensuring that both the water in the foreground and the distant shoreline are sharp at a focal length of 45 mm. The shutter speed of 1/80 s combined with a low ISO of 200 results in a clear image while effectively capturing the warm evening light.
- Select a small aperture like f/16 to keep both the moving water and the background landscape in focus.
- Use a fast shutter speed to capture the ship on the water without motion blur.
- Maintain a low ISO setting when shooting into the sun to ensure a clean image without distracting noise.
