Photography tips
How this image was taken
Using an aperture of f/13 provides deep focus, ensuring that both the water tower and the distant mountains are captured with clarity, while an ISO of 200 maintains image quality under bright daylight conditions.
- Choose a closed aperture like f/13 to ensure both the architectural details of the tower and the distant landscape remain sharp throughout the frame.
- Utilize a shutter speed of 1/160 s in daylight to prevent motion blur and ensure a crisp image when shooting handheld.
- Use a focal length of 33 mm to carefully frame your shot, balancing the architectural subject in the foreground with the background features like the mountains and the Ferris wheel.
