Photography tips
How this image was taken
Using an aperture of f/22 provides a large depth of field, keeping both the cherry blossoms in the foreground and the mountain range in the distance in focus. The shutter speed of 1/320 s at 150 mm focal length helps you minimize motion blur caused by wind in the branches.
- Use a small aperture to maintain focus across different image layers from the foreground to the background.
- Select a longer focal length to visually compress the foreground subject against the background.
- Ensure a sufficiently fast shutter speed to prevent camera shake given the focal length used.
