Photography tips
How this image was taken
A short shutter speed of 1/640 s ensured the necessary sharpness at a long focal length of 400 mm, while the aperture of f/8 provided consistent image quality across the urban area.
- Choose a short shutter speed to effectively avoid motion blur caused by vibrations when using a long focal length.
- Use a moderate aperture like f/8 to achieve consistent sharpness when capturing large-scale city panoramas.
- Pay attention to the perspective and the timing to clearly depict architectural details of the old town despite scattered patches of fog.
