Photography tips

How this image was taken

For this image, the 20-second shutter speed allows for a precise capture of the glowing installations at night. An aperture of f/11 provides a deep depth of field, while the ISO of 800 ensures enough light is captured for the details on the rock face.

  • Choose a shutter speed of 20 seconds to clearly depict the light sources in the pond.
  • Use an aperture of f/11 to ensure both the rings in the foreground and the Lion Monument are in sharp focus.
  • Pay attention to the focal length of 24 mm to frame the entire monument including the water basin effectively.
