Photography tips
How this image was taken
For this night shot, the shutter speed of 3.2 s ensures a calm rendering of the light reflections, while the aperture of f/4.5 and ISO 800 maintain the balance between depth of field and the necessary light sensitivity for the dim ambient lighting.
- Use a longer shutter speed to capture the light reflections in the water intentionally.
- Select a 24 mm wide angle to include both the rock relief and the foreground with the water basin.
- Pay attention to the ISO 800 settings to keep image noise low in difficult night lighting conditions.
