Photography tips
How this image was taken
This shot was realized with a shutter speed of 2 seconds to capture the movement of aircraft as light trails. The aperture of f/4 combined with an ISO value of 500 ensures sufficient light for night conditions.
- Choose a sufficiently long shutter speed to capture light movements.
- Use a moderate aperture like f/4 to let in enough light.
- Adjust the ISO value to keep image noise under control in low light.
- Experiment with the 45 mm focal length to create a balanced proportion between the silhouette and the sky.
