Photography tips
How this image was taken
In this rainy weather, a focal length of 12 mm was used to capture the scene widely. The aperture of f/18 provides a deep depth of field, while the ISO 1600 setting allowed for a shutter speed of 1/60 s despite the dim, cloudy light.
- Use a ground-level perspective to incorporate puddles as reflections into the foreground.
- Choose a high aperture value so that both the near ground and the water tower in the background are rendered in focus.
- Adjust your ISO sensitivity to maintain a fast shutter speed for steady shots even in overcast conditions.
