Archway

View through a stone archway towards the Chapel Bridge in Lucerne

Key tips

  1. Use architectural features like archways to intentionally frame your main subject and create natural depth in your image.
  2. Use the archway as a framing element to guide the viewer's gaze toward the historic subject in the center.
  3. Select a closed aperture like f/10 to ensure both the archway in the foreground and the building in the background remain in focus.
