Photography tips

How this image was taken

In this bright daylight setting, the aperture of f/16 provides deep focus, while the shutter speed of 1/125 s and ISO 200 ensure a balanced exposure of both the tower and the blossoms.

  • Use a small aperture like f/16 to keep both the architecture of the tower and the details of the blooming trees sharp.
  • Focus on the composition by using the blooming branches to frame the tower naturally and create depth.
  • Choose a focal length around 40 mm to achieve a natural perspective that includes both the main subject and its surrounding environment.
