Photography tips
How this image was taken
Using an aperture of f/9 helps you achieve sufficient depth of field to capture details of the flowers and the rock, while the short shutter speed of 1/1600 s ensures a sharp image. The 138 mm focal length allows you to isolate the subject from a distance.
- Use a longer focal length to separate the subject from the background and focus the composition on details.
- Choose a closed aperture like f/9 to keep both the flowers and the rock texture in focus.
- Look for soft light to avoid harsh shadows on the delicate flower petals.
