Photography tips
How this image was taken
For this image, an open aperture of f/2 combined with ISO 1600 and a shutter speed of 14 seconds allows enough light to be captured during this night scene. The 12mm focal length provides a wide angle of view, capturing both the telescope and the night sky.
- Use a fast aperture to capture details in low-light night conditions.
- Select a short shutter speed to avoid star trails while adjusting your ISO settings accordingly.
- Use a wide-angle lens to capture both the foreground subject and the vast night sky.
