Photography tips

How this image was taken

In this shot, the wide aperture of f/2 allowed for a shallow depth of field, while the ISO 1000 helped achieve sufficient exposure in dim light at a shutter speed of 1/25 s.

  • Use a wide aperture to isolate your subject from the blurred background.
  • Ensure steady camera handling to avoid motion blur at slower shutter speeds.
  • Adjust your ISO settings to maintain a clear image despite low ambient lighting.
