Photography tips
How this image was taken
For this shot, an aperture of f/10 was chosen to achieve a deep depth of field, keeping both the water tower and the Chapel Bridge in focus, while the ISO 500 ensures proper exposure at a shutter speed of 1/125 s in winter conditions.
- Use a medium to small aperture like f/10 to ensure sharpness from the foreground of the bridge to the tower.
- Select a shutter speed around 1/125 s to avoid camera shake when shooting at 45 mm focal length.
- Adjust your ISO sensitivity according to the winter light to maintain the desired shutter speed with a moderate aperture.
