Photography tips
How this image was taken
For this image, the aperture of f/18 provides a deep depth of field, while the shutter speed of 1/25 s at ISO 200 captures the existing autumnal light.
- Use a small aperture to keep both the details of the water tower and the autumn leaves in the foreground sharp.
- Select a deliberate composition by using the chestnut branches as a natural frame for the architectural subject.
- Ensure a steady hold when using longer shutter speeds to avoid blur if you are shooting handheld.
