Photography tips
How this image was taken
For this shot at 22 mm and aperture f/10, a shutter speed of 1/30 s at ISO 200 was used to balance the architectural detail and the atmosphere of the evening light.
- Use a moderate aperture like f/10 to achieve consistent sharpness from the water tower to the old town.
- Choose a wide-angle focal length to integrate the river and the tower into the urban surroundings.
- Pay attention to the exposure in the highlights of the evening light to preserve the atmospheric mood.
