Photography tips
How this image was taken
With an aperture of f/14, you achieve sufficient depth of field to keep both the traffic light in the foreground and the old town scenery in focus. The shutter speed of 1/125 s combined with ISO 500 ensures a crisp shot in the fading light of the evening sky.
- Use perspective by positioning a distinct object in the foreground to add depth to your composition.
- Choose a small aperture like f/14 to ensure sharp focus across different planes at a focal length of 45 mm.
- Pay attention to the lighting during evening light to highlight the contrast between the city and the snow-capped mountain peaks.
