Photography tips
How this image was taken
For this night shot, the long exposure time of 6 seconds ensures a clear illumination of the lit architecture, while the f/16 aperture enables high depth of field. The ISO of 800 balances the lighting conditions.
- Use an architectural element in the foreground to give the image more depth through a targeted frame.
- Use a closed aperture for night shots to achieve high depth of field across the entire subject.
- Select a longer exposure time to capture enough details in the illuminated subject under low ambient light.
