Photography tips

How this image was taken

For this shot at a 400 mm focal length, a shutter speed of 1/640 s ensures a sharp image, while the aperture of f/8 allows for good detail throughout the urban scene. The low ISO setting of 160 ensures clear image quality without unwanted noise.

  • Use a sufficiently fast shutter speed for aerial shots to avoid motion blur due to distance or potential instability.
  • Choose a medium aperture like f/8 to achieve a balanced compromise between depth of field and the optimal performance of your lens.
  • Focus on solid composition when using telephoto lenses to keep the complex structure of railway tracks and buildings clearly organized.
