Photography tips
How this image was taken
The chosen aperture of f/18 at a focal length of 45 mm provides deep depth of field, keeping both the foreground leaves and the distant water tower in focus. The shutter speed of 1/20 s and ISO 200 are well-suited for the diffuse light on this cloudy day.
- Use overhanging branches or leaves in the foreground to create a natural frame for your subject.
- Select a small aperture like f/18 to ensure sharpness from the foreground leaves to the building in the distance.
- Experiment with perspective by positioning your main subject behind foreground elements to create a sense of depth.
