Photography tips

How this image was taken

Using a focal length of 118 mm, the composition is specifically focused on architectural details. The combination of ISO 100, an aperture of f/6.3, and a short shutter speed of 1/800 s ensures precise imaging in the available evening light.

  • Use a longer focal length to visually compress the distance between buildings.
  • Choose a low ISO sensitivity to achieve high image quality when there is sufficient ambient light.
  • Observe the evening light to softly highlight the contours of structures.
