Photography tips

How this image was taken

With a focal length of 12 mm you achieve a wide perspective, while the closed aperture of f/16 ensures continuous depth of field from the foreground to the background. The ISO 200 and the shutter speed of 1/200 s allow for precise exposure in this high-contrast evening light.

  • Use a striking object as a foreground to add depth to your shot and draw the eye toward the subject.
  • Choose a closed aperture to achieve a deep depth of field, keeping details sharp across the entire frame.
  • Use a wide-angle lens to capture both the foreground detail and the wider surroundings of the old town within your composition.
