Photography tips
How this image was taken
This shot at 415 mm focal length uses an aperture of f/13 to maintain sufficient depth of field, while the shutter speed of 1/250 s freezes movement and the ISO 2500 ensures exposure under the given light conditions.
- Use a long focal length to compress architectural details like the Water Tower and the Jesuit Church, bringing them visually closer.
- Choose a closed aperture such as f/13 to maintain a deeper plane of focus across the subject despite the long focal length.
- Balance your ISO settings carefully to achieve the necessary shutter speed for a sharp image while managing digital noise at higher values.
