Photography tips
How this image was taken
For this shot, a small aperture of f/20 was used to enhance the sun flare effect and achieve a deep depth of field. The fast shutter speed of 1/1250 s allowed for capturing the radiant light precisely despite these settings.
- Use a small aperture to render the light source as a star.
- Utilize a wide-angle focal length to capture the entire architectural facade.
- Pay attention to a fast shutter speed when shooting directly against the sun to prevent overexposure.
