Photography tips

How this image was taken

With a fast shutter speed of 1/2000 s and a wide aperture of f/3.2, the subject was captured sharply while the rock frame transitions into a slight blur. The 22 mm focal length allows for a wide view through the opening towards the chapel.

  • Use a rocky outcrop or a natural opening as a frame to add depth to your image.
  • Choose a wide aperture to make the main subject stand out from a blurred foreground.
  • Experiment with your perspective by getting close to the rock to use its textures as dark contours.
