Photography tips

How this image was taken

In this shot, the high aperture of f/25 provides deep depth of field, while the shutter speed of 1/50 s and ISO 800 ensure balanced exposure under cloudy light conditions.

  • Use a close foreground like flowers to create depth in the image.
  • Select a small aperture to keep both the blossoms and the building in the background in focus.
  • Pay attention to the deliberate placement of elements within the frame using a 30 mm focal length.
