Photography tips
How this image was taken
In this night shot, the chosen settings allow for intentional light management. The long exposure of 15 s ensures an even exposure, while the small aperture of f/18 creates starburst effects on light sources and increases depth of field.
- Use a long shutter speed to capture the light reflections in the water in a smooth and clear way.
- Apply a small aperture to achieve pronounced starburst effects from bright light sources.
- Pay attention to your ISO setting to maintain a clean image despite the challenging nocturnal lighting conditions.
