Photography tips
How this image was taken
Using an aperture of f/10 provides a deep depth of field, ensuring that both the water tower in the foreground and the mountains in the background are captured in detail. The shutter speed of 1/160 s prevents blur at a focal length of 26 mm, while the low ISO setting of 200 maintains clear image quality in bright daylight.
- Use a smaller aperture like f/10 to achieve high depth of field across the entire scene.
- Choose a wide-angle focal length to incorporate both the water tower and the expansive surroundings into your composition.
- When shooting with reflections in the river, ensure your framing captures both the structure and its full reflection in the water.
