Photography tips

How this image was taken

For this night shot, a long shutter speed of 25 seconds was used to allow for a well-balanced exposure of the old town despite the low light levels, while the aperture of f/13 ensures a deep depth of field.

  • Use a long shutter speed to capture the dark areas of the city at night with sufficient exposure.
  • Select a narrow aperture like f/13 to ensure that the entire architecture is rendered sharply in the frame.
  • Maintain a balanced approach with an ISO of 400 to manage both light sensitivity and image quality.
