Photography tips
How this image was taken
For this shot under a clear sky, an aperture of f/25 was used to achieve high depth of field at a focal length of 149 mm. The shutter speed of 1/200 s ensures a sharp rendering of the Zytturm, while an ISO of 500 allows for proper exposure in these lighting conditions.
- Use a small aperture when you want to capture architectural details with consistent sharpness across the frame.
- Choose a longer focal length to isolate your subject from its urban surroundings.
- Select a shutter speed that is fast enough to avoid blur, ensuring a crisp image of static structures.
