Photography tips
How this image was taken
In this shot, an aperture of f/14 was used to achieve a deep depth of field from the foreground to the Water Tower, while the ISO 500 combined with a shutter speed of 1/60 s ensured sufficient exposure in winter light.
- Use elements like the street lamp in the foreground to create depth within the frame.
- Choose a narrow aperture like f/14 when you want to ensure that both near and distant objects are captured in sharp detail.
- Look for natural frames created by building walls to visually focus on the main subject, such as the Water Tower.
