Photography tips
How this image was taken
For this night shot, an open aperture of f/2 and a high ISO of 1600 were chosen to capture enough light for both the stars and the building during a 6-second exposure.
- Use a fast aperture like f/2 to ensure enough light hits the sensor during a short exposure time.
- Choose a high ISO setting to capture stars clearly within the 6-second shutter speed.
- Use a wide focal length of 12 mm to encompass both the building and the vastness of the night sky.
