Photography tips

How this image was taken

For this daylight shot, a small aperture of f/22 was chosen to achieve a high depth of field. The shutter speed of 1/100 s at ISO 250 ensures a balanced exposure of the building facade.

  • Select a small aperture such as f/22 if you want consistent sharpness from foreground elements to the architecture itself.
  • Pay attention to keeping your camera perfectly level at a 45 mm focal length to prevent converging lines in architectural shots.
  • Use a moderate ISO setting like 250 in bright light to maintain high image quality while keeping shutter speeds sufficiently fast.
