Photography tips
How this image was taken
Using an aperture of f/6.3 provides sufficient depth of field, while ISO 100 ensures high image quality without noise. The shutter speed of 1/320 s allows you to capture the scene sharply while shooting handheld.
- Use the wooden beams of the Chapel Bridge as a natural frame to guide the viewer's eye towards the old town and the Jesuit Church.
- Pay attention to the composition and the evening light, which casts a warm glow on the historic buildings along the riverbank.
- Choose a focal length of approximately 30 mm to maintain a natural balance between the foreground frame and the distant scene.
