Photography tips
How this image was taken
For this night shot, the shutter speed of 5 seconds allowed for sufficient exposure of the dark surroundings, while the aperture of f/8 ensured good depth of field. The ISO setting of 400 keeps image noise low during the long exposure.
- Use a longer shutter speed at night to capture the details of the light projections precisely.
- Select a medium aperture like f/8 to achieve consistent sharpness across the entire building.
- Keep the ISO value low to ensure high image quality without heavy noise, despite the dark lighting conditions.
