Photography tips
How this image was taken
To capture the lighting conditions at night, an exposure time of 15 seconds was used, while the high ISO of 6400 was necessary to record enough light from the stars. The aperture of f/5.6 combined with the 22 mm focal length allows for a wide perspective of the scene.
- Use a long exposure time to capture the faint light sources of the night sky on the sensor.
- Select a high ISO setting to increase light sensitivity in the darkness.
- Use a wide-angle focal length to capture both the architecture of the hotel and the expansive starry sky.
- Maintain an open aperture to ensure sufficient exposure despite the challenging night lighting.
