Photography tips

How this image was taken

For this shot in the evening light, ISO 100 ensures clear image quality without noise. The short shutter speed of 1/100 s helps freeze the movement on the water, while the aperture of f/4.5 keeps the subject sharp at a focal length of 15 mm.

  • Use a wide-angle lens around 15 mm to capture the Chapel Bridge, the Water Tower, and the surrounding scenery in their full width.
  • Choose a low ISO value such as ISO 100 to maintain clean image quality even as the light begins to fade.
  • Position yourself low at the shore to choose a dynamic perspective, letting the water surface serve as an interesting foreground leading towards the historic architecture.
