Photography tips
How this image was taken
In this shot, the aperture of f/11 provides deep depth of field, while the shutter speed of 1/320 s at a focal length of 165 mm helps prevent camera shake despite the zoom.
- Use a stopped-down aperture like f/11 to achieve deep depth of field in landscape photography.
- Utilise a longer focal length to visually compress the subject, such as the chapel, against the background.
- Pay attention to the reciprocal of your focal length for your shutter speed to ensure sharp images without a tripod.
