Equipment Used:

This landscape shot was captured at...

ISO: 200
Focal Length: 14mm
Aperture: f/10
Shutter Speed: 1/160th sec


Tips:  

  • Look for leading lines to lead your viewer’s eye through the shot
  • If you capture a reflection don’t cut it in half. Give it space.
  • Don’t be afraid to go more square with landscape photos
  • It’s a good idea to use a polarising filter when you shoot water 

I took this shot on a chilly Shanghai winter afternoon. I wanted to remind myself that you can still find places in a Chinese city where nature outdoes people. Because the sky was plain and empty I thought if I used it to balance out the plain and empty water the compositional balance would work out.

Tips from the photographer

  • When shooting in black and white, remember the eye goes to the lightest part of the scene first. 
  • Don’t be afraid of some things going totally black. It adds to the drama of the scene.
