Photography tips
How this image was taken
This shot was captured with a focal length of 26 mm and a narrow aperture of f/22. Selecting such a small aperture creates the visible sunburst effect at the edge of the water tower, while the shutter speed of 1/60 s and an ISO of 320 allow for balanced exposure in the sunset light.
- Use a small aperture setting like f/22 to intentionally create light effects when shooting directly into the sun.
- Choose a wide-angle focal length to include both the historic structure and the surrounding space of the old town in your frame.
- Pay attention to the exposure when shooting against the low-hanging sun to maintain details in the stonework.
