Photography tips
How this image was taken
In this shot, the long exposure of 13 seconds creates a smooth water surface, while the aperture of f/16 ensures deep depth of field from the wooden structure to the background. The low ISO setting of 100 keeps noise at a minimum during the evening light.
- Use a wide-angle lens like 15 mm to incorporate the leading lines of the Chapel Bridge as a natural frame for your subject.
- Select a small aperture to maintain sharpness across both the interior details and the distant city view.
- Combine a long exposure time with a low ISO setting to achieve high image quality without noise during dusk.
