Photography tips

How this image was taken

The settings chosen for this shot are tailored to capture the mood of the evening light effectively. The 2-second shutter speed smooths the surface of the water, while the f/22 aperture ensures deep focus and the ISO 80 setting helps maintain a clean, low-noise image.

  • Use a long shutter speed to calm the movement of the water and soften the reflections.
  • Select a small aperture to maximize depth of field when using a wide-angle lens.
  • Maintain low ISO settings to ensure high image quality when shooting in evening light.
