Photography tips

How this image was taken

Using a focal length of 100 mm and an aperture of f/6.3 allows you to isolate the water drop while letting the background blur softly. The exposure time of 1/60 s and the ISO 400 are adjusted to accommodate the grey lighting conditions.

  • Choose a longer focal length to separate the wrought iron element from the background and enhance the blur.
  • Focus precisely on the water drop to capture the fine details sharply.
  • Pay attention to an appropriate shutter speed in grey lighting to avoid camera shake and maintain a sharp focus.
