Photography tips

How this image was taken

For this night shot, a long exposure time of 25 seconds was chosen to allow for a low ISO sensitivity of 400 despite the low light levels. The aperture of f/13 ensures high depth of field across the entire cityscape.

  • Select a narrow aperture like f/13 to capture details in the architecture and rooftops sharply.
  • Use a long exposure time to work in dark conditions without significant image noise.
  • Keep the ISO setting low to maintain optimal image quality for night photography.
