Photography tips
How this image was taken
To frame the historic building through the ornate iron railing, an aperture of f/22 was chosen to maintain deep focus on the subject. The shutter speed of 1/20 s at ISO 100 ensures a balanced exposure in this daylight setting.
- Use a nearby object as a foreground element to add depth to your composition.
- Experiment with different perspectives by positioning your camera close to the iron railing until it frames your subject effectively.
- Carefully adjust your aperture to ensure the main landmark remains sharp, while allowing the very close foreground to create a natural blur.
