Photography tips

How this image was taken

In this shot, the small aperture of f/16 ensures consistent sharpness throughout, while the shutter speed of 1/160 s at ISO 400 is sufficient to capture the subject clearly despite the fading sunset light.

  • Choose a small aperture to achieve a deep depth of field for the landscape.
  • Pay attention to the composition by placing small elements like a bird to create an anchor point within the expansive light of the sunset.
  • Use the wide-angle focal length of 28 mm to capture the vastness of the water surface and the atmospheric mood.
