Photography tips
How this image was taken
This long exposure of 25 seconds at f/18 and ISO 400 allows for capturing the light projections precisely while creating smooth reflections on the water surface.
- Use a long shutter speed to capture light trails from passing traffic and ensure reflections on the water appear smooth.
- Choose a high aperture value like f/18 to achieve consistent depth of field across the entire distance.
- Set a moderate ISO sensitivity to balance image noise and detail clarity under these nocturnal lighting conditions.
