Photography tips
How this image was taken
To capture enough light for the starry sky and the Hotel Bellevue at night, a long exposure of 15 s was used, combined with an aperture of f/6.3 and a high ISO of 6400.
- Use a long exposure time to capture the faint light of the stars.
- Select a high ISO value so the sensor can record details in the mountain landscape even in low light.
- Experiment with the aperture to balance light intake and depth of field for both the building and the sky.
