Photography tips

How this image was taken

For this shot, a wide-angle focal length of 18 mm was chosen, while the small aperture of f/20 provides a deep depth of field. A shutter speed of 1/200 s combined with ISO 400 enabled a balanced exposure of the architectural details under direct sunlight.

  • Use the 18 mm wide-angle focal length to capture the entire building from a low perspective from the ground.
  • Select a small aperture like f/20 to achieve a great depth of field and render the masonry of the tower sharp throughout.
  • Pay attention to the position of the sun when shooting against the light to consciously integrate lens flares or light effects into your composition.
