Photography tips
How this image was taken
For this night shot, a long shutter speed of 10 seconds and an open aperture of f/2 were chosen to capture sufficient light for the hotel and the starry sky at ISO 1600. The 12 mm focal length ensures a wide field of view.
- Use an open aperture to allow the limited light at night to reach the sensor effectively.
- Choose a longer shutter speed to ensure the stars and the architectural details of the hotel are sufficiently exposed.
- Utilize a short focal length in the wide-angle range to combine the imposing rock massif and the vastness of the sky in one image.
