Photography tips
How this image was taken
For this shot, a shutter speed of 1.6 s was used to capture the movement of the passing bus with dynamic blur, while the aperture of f/7.1 ensures good depth of field. The ISO 200 setting maintains high image quality under these moderate light conditions.

- Experiment with your shutter speed to capture moving objects like buses or boats as controlled motion blur.
- Focus on the composition by balancing the architectural foreground with the urban scene in the background.
