Photography tips
How this image was taken
Using a focal length of 45 mm and an aperture of f/11 allows for a deep depth of field, keeping both the textured foreground and the historic Water Tower in focus. The shutter speed of 1/125 s combined with an ISO of 500 ensures a balanced exposure for this scene.
- Use a stopped-down aperture like f/11 to achieve a deep depth of field from the foreground to the distant subject.
- Look for a strong foreground element, such as the climbing plants on the building, to add depth to your shot through framing.
- Consider your perspective by using the adjacent building as a natural side frame to guide the viewer's eye towards the Water Tower.
