Photography tips

How this image was taken

In this shot, the aperture of f/5.6 and ISO 100 allow for good depth and low noise. The shutter speed of 1/200 s ensures a sharp capture of the swimming swan and the Ferris wheel.

  • Choose a shutter speed of at least 1/200 s to freeze motion in the water or on the Ferris wheel without blur.
  • Use a moderate aperture like f/5.6 to balance the focus between the foreground swan and the background mountain.
  • Maintain a low ISO setting to ensure high image quality during daylight conditions.
