Photography tips

How this image was taken

To capture both the flower and the rock formations in sharp focus, a small aperture of f/32 was chosen to ensure high depth of field. The shutter speed of 1/60 s and an ISO of 320 allow for a balanced exposure under these lighting conditions.

  • Use a small aperture to achieve sharp focus from the foreground to the background.
  • Select a focal length of 30 mm to place the subject within its natural environment.
  • Pay attention to a calm background when photographing small plants to highlight the contrast.
