Photography tips
How this image was taken
In this backlit scene, the small aperture of f/22 creates the distinct sunburst effect on the lamppost, while the fast shutter speed of 1/800 s captures the bright scene precisely.
- Use a prominent object like a lamppost in the foreground to create depth.
- Choose a small aperture if you want to achieve a sunburst effect with direct light.
- Pay attention to the exposure of the sky to consciously represent the tower as a silhouette.
