Photography tips
How this image was taken
Using an aperture of f/16 achieves deep depth of field, keeping both the foreground horse chestnut blossoms and the building in sharp focus. The ISO 200 and 1/80 s settings ensure a balanced exposure under the available light.
- Incorporate a foreground element, such as the horse chestnut blossoms, to create depth in your composition.
- Use a small aperture to ensure that both near and distant subjects appear sharp.
- Focus on the composition by positioning distinct elements like the flag to stand out clearly.
