Photography tips

How this image was taken

With an aperture of f/9, you achieve a good depth of field, keeping both the tower and the surrounding details in focus. The shutter speed of 1/125 s at ISO 200 ensures a sharp image under these lighting conditions.

  • Use a wide-angle lens like 12 mm to capture the tower and bridge comprehensively.
  • Create a deliberate foreground with flowers to add depth to your composition.
  • Select a medium aperture to maintain a balanced sharpness between the foreground and the architecture.
