Photography tips
How this image was taken
The shutter speed of 1 second at f/10 aperture captured the light of the object while creating a slight motion blur of the passersby due to the longer exposure. An ISO of 640 ensures sufficient brightness under the given lighting conditions.
- Use aperture f/10 to achieve consistent sharpness from the foreground to the main subject.
- Create depth by using fir branches in the foreground to frame the composition.
- Experiment with shutter speed to either freeze motion or portray movement through slight blur.
