Photography tips

How this image was taken

For this shot in foggy conditions, a focal length of 15 mm was chosen to use the wooden jetty as a leading line into the distance. The aperture of f/5.6 and a shutter speed of 1/80 s at ISO 320 provide a balanced exposure in the diffuse lighting situation.

  • Use a central perspective by aligning the jetty exactly in the middle to guide the eye directly into the fog.
  • Include elements like the reeds on the right edge as a deliberate foreground to structure the frame.
  • When shooting with a wide-angle lens, use a medium aperture to ensure both the wooden textures and the atmosphere in the background remain clear.
