Photography tips
How this image was taken
Using an aperture of f/25 and a shutter speed of 1/1000 seconds at ISO 800, the striking light effect of the setting sun was intentionally captured.
- Use a small aperture to render sunbeams as distinct light effects.
- Select a fast shutter speed to control the bright light of the sun directly within the frame.
- Experiment with the position of the light source at the edge of the frame to influence the light mood.
