Photography tips
How this image was taken
Using an aperture of f/32 creates a deep depth of field, ensuring that the cobblestones in the foreground and the distant tower are both in focus. The exposure time of 1.6 seconds at ISO 100 allows for a balanced exposure despite the dark conditions within the archway.
- Choose a low camera position close to the ground to use the paving stones as leading lines.
- Apply a small aperture to ensure sharpness across the stone arch and the distant architecture.
- Use the natural frame of the archway to guide the viewer's gaze toward the tower in the background.
