Photography tips

How this image was taken

With a shutter speed of 5 seconds, you capture the soft twilight light, while the f/22 aperture ensures a deep depth of field. The ISO 100 setting provides clear image quality without noise.

  • Use the 15 mm focal length for a wide-angle perspective to incorporate the wooden frame of the bridge as a compositional foreground.
  • Opt for a small aperture like f/22 during long exposures to turn light sources into distinct starbursts.
  • Choose a framing where the architecture serves as a side leading line to guide the eye towards the illuminated church.
