Photography tips

How this image was taken

In this shot, the aperture of f/10 ensures consistent depth of field, while ISO 100 maximizes image quality in the available light. The shutter speed of 1/200 s captures the scene precisely at a focal length of 30 mm.

  • Use the wooden pier as a foreground element to guide the viewer's eye into the depth of the image.
  • Select a narrow aperture such as f/10 to keep both the pier in the foreground and the horizon in sharp focus.
  • Pay attention to the composition by choosing a low camera position to emphasize the symmetry between the pier and its reflection on the water surface.
