Photography tips
How this image was taken
To capture the faint light of the stars, a wide aperture of f/2 was combined with an ISO setting of 3200, while the 10-second shutter speed provides a balanced exposure.
- Use a fast aperture such as f/2 to allow enough light onto the sensor for night photography settings.
- Utilize a 12 mm focal length for a wide perspective that encompasses the entire night sky and the mountain silhouette.
- Adjust your ISO values to effectively capture the available light in dark environments.
