Photography tips
How this image was taken
For this wintry shot, an aperture of f/4 provides natural depth, while the ISO 2500 allows for a shutter speed of 1/100 s to capture the scene clearly despite the subdued daylight.
- Use the 27 mm focal length to create a perspective that emphasizes both the main subject and the alleyway leading towards it.
- Focus on the contrast between the artificial light of the buildings and the natural snowflakes to capture the mood.
- Choose a shutter speed that prevents motion blur while ensuring enough ambient light is captured in the exposure.
