Photography tips

How this image was taken

For this shot, the aperture of f/14 ensures a consistent depth of field, while the shutter speed of 1/2 s effectively captures the evening light in the shadowed areas. The 28 mm focal length provides a natural perspective that emphasizes the depth of the passageway leading toward the Water Tower.

  • Choose a very low camera angle to include the textured cobblestones as a framing element in the foreground.
  • Use a narrow aperture like f/14 to keep both the details within the dark passage and the illuminated subject in the background in sharp focus.
  • Take advantage of the warm evening light, which appears particularly three-dimensional when framed by the surrounding architecture.
