Photography tips
How this image was taken
For this shot at 200 mm focal length, the fast shutter speed of 1/320 s ensures that the image remains sharp when shooting handheld, while the aperture of f/8 provides good lens performance. The ISO 800 setting allowed for a sufficient shutter speed to be maintained despite the fading evening light.
- Use a longer focal length like 200 mm to visually bring the building closer to the background and compress the composition.
- Pay attention to your ISO settings during twilight to find a balance between image noise and the shutter speed needed for sharp images.
- Choose an aperture like f/8 to achieve good depth of field for architectural details.
