Photography tips
How this image was taken
This shot was taken using a 23 mm focal length and an aperture of f/5.6, which effectively highlights the Water Tower within the surrounding urban structures. The 1/80 s shutter speed and low ISO of 125 ensure a sharp image under the available lighting conditions.
- Use the surrounding buildings as a natural frame to guide the viewer's eye directly to the subject in the center.
- Choose a wide-angle focal length to emphasize the depth of the alley and the distance to the background.
- Pay attention to the camera alignment to minimize converging lines of the facades and support a symmetrical composition.
