Photography tips
How this image was taken
In this shot, the combination of an f/16 aperture and ISO 100 ensures high detail and sharpness, while the long exposure time of 8 seconds gives the clouds a softer texture.
- Choose a small aperture like f/16 for a deep depth of field to keep both the city and the cloud formations in focus.
- Use a low ISO setting of 100 to avoid noise when capturing fine details in the landscape.
- Experiment with the exposure time to record the movement of the clouds with varying levels of softness or contrast.
