Photography tips
How this image was taken
This shot was captured using a shutter speed of 1/80 s, an aperture of f/6.3, and ISO 3200 to accommodate the fading light during sunset. These settings balance the exposure between the vibrant sky and the details of the illuminated building.
- Use a higher ISO setting in low-light conditions to maintain a sufficiently fast shutter speed for sharp results.
- Select a moderate aperture like f/6.3 to ensure both the architecture and the surrounding mountain landscape remain in focus.
- When using a 30 mm focal length, aim to balance the scale of the building with the expansive view of the sky.
