Photography tips
How this image was taken
Using an aperture of f/16 achieves deep depth of field, keeping both the alley walls and the water tower in focus. The longer shutter speed of 1 s ensures a balanced exposure under these diffused lighting conditions.
- Use the narrow walls of the alley as a natural frame to direct the viewer's gaze toward the water tower.
- Select a short focal length of 12 mm to emphasize the depth and narrow proportions of the alley.
- Use a low ISO setting of 200 to maintain high image quality and minimal noise during the long exposure.
