Photography tips

How this image was taken

For this night shot, the long shutter speed of 30 seconds captured sufficient light, while the aperture of f/7.1 allows for balanced depth of field across the cityscape. The focal length of 18 mm provides a wide overview of the old town.

  • Use a long shutter speed to capture the night city lights clearly.
  • Choose a wide-angle focal length to encompass the expanse of the city panorama.
  • Use a moderate aperture setting to ensure architectural details remain sharp throughout the image.
