Photography tips
How this image was taken
For this sunset shot, an aperture of f/18 was used to keep both the foreground and background in focus, while the shutter speed of 1/40 s and ISO of 25600 allowed for correct exposure despite the fading light.
- Use a wide-angle lens like 15 mm to deliberately incorporate the wooden railing as a leading line in your composition.
- Opt for a narrow aperture if you want both the nearby railing and the vast landscape to appear sharp in your image.
- Be prepared to increase your ISO sensitivity during dusk to achieve necessary brightness while maintaining faster shutter speeds.
