Photography tips
How this image was taken
For this backlit scene, the chosen aperture of f/22 creates the visible sunburst effect, while the 21 mm focal length captures the wide scenery including the tower and its reflection.
- Use a small aperture like f/22 to achieve the sunburst effect when shooting directly into the light.
- Utilize a shutter speed of 1/200 s to maintain a controlled exposure despite the bright light situation.
- Ensure your composition is level when using 21 mm to keep the building and its reflection symmetrical.
