Photography tips
How this image was taken
For this shot at 45 mm focal length, an aperture of f/11 was chosen to achieve a deep depth of field, while the shutter speed of 1/250 s reliably prevents motion blur when shooting handheld. The ISO 500 allowed for a balanced exposure in the available warm light.
- Use a natural frame, such as this ivy-covered facade, to provide the main subject with compositional depth.
- Choose a closed aperture like f/11 so that both the near foreground and the distant subject are rendered in sharp focus.
- Pay attention to the warm light, which particularly highlights textures like the ivy-covered facade depending on your chosen location.
