Photography tips

How this image was taken

In this image, the settings of 1/320 s shutter speed and ISO 100 ensured a sharp capture in ample light. The 100 mm focal length helps to optically bring the water tower closer to the viewer and focus the composition on the smartphone as an image element.

  • Use a longer focal length to selectively isolate the subject behind the smartphone.
  • When choosing your perspective, ensure that the smartphone display stands out clearly from the background.
  • Select a medium aperture like f/6.3 to achieve a balanced depth of field for both the main subject and the display.
