Photography tips
How this image was taken
The long exposure of 6 seconds creates the smooth, flowing appearance of the water at the weir, while the narrow aperture of f/22 ensures deep depth of field. The 15 mm focal length is used to leverage the wooden bridge structure as a leading compositional element.
- Use a long exposure to capture moving water with a soft and flowing effect.
- Select a small aperture to achieve deep depth of field, keeping both the wooden bridge structure and the old town in focus.
- Use a wide-angle lens to incorporate the bridge as an architectural frame within your composition.
- Choose a low ISO setting to maintain optimal image quality during long exposures.
