Photography tips

How this image was taken

To capture architectural details against bright backlight, a small aperture of f/18 was used. The short shutter speed of 1/1600 s helps to control the intense sunlight and the resulting lens flare.

  • Use a small aperture to render the sunlight as a starburst and achieve high depth of field.
  • Experiment with the camera's position relative to the subject to place the lens flare intentionally within the frame.
  • When shooting directly into the sun, ensure a fast shutter speed to avoid overexposure.
