Photography tips

How this image was taken

For this nocturnal shot, the shutter speed of 1/4 s and the aperture of f/4.5 ensure a balanced exposure of the station building. The ISO 1000 setting provided the necessary light sensitivity, while the 24 mm focal length captured the entire facade in its full scale.

  • Use a wide aperture to allow enough light to reach the sensor in low-light conditions.
  • Choose a wide-angle focal length to capture the entire architectural subject within the frame.
  • Pay attention to the shutter speed, which, in combination with the ISO value, enables a sharp image under these specific lighting conditions.
