Photography tips
How this image was taken
For this shot, the long exposure of 25 s creates the smooth surface of the Reuss river and the visible light trails. The aperture of f/18 creates distinct starburst effects on the bright light sources, while ISO 400 provides a good balance between image noise and sensitivity.
- Use a long exposure to capture the reflections of the lights in the water in a smooth, flowing manner.
- Select a narrow aperture to create deliberate starbursts on point light sources.
- Use a medium focal length to present the architectural subject in a compressed and focused way.
