Key tips

  1. Choose perspective: Position yourself to align striking background elements like the church towers with your main subject to create depth.
  2. Select a short focal length of 12 mm to emphasize the depth and narrow proportions of the alley.
  3. Place the tree as a graphic element in front of the historic wall to create a sense of depth in your composition.
