Photography tips
How this image was taken
This night shot uses a shutter speed of 5 seconds to capture the reflections of the light installation in the water, while the f/11 aperture ensures consistent depth of field. An ISO setting of 800 allowed for adequate exposure under the given lighting conditions.
- Use a long shutter speed to cleanly render the lights and their reflections on the water.
- Select a closed aperture like f/11 so that both the structure and the details in the image appear sharp.
- Ensure a stable setup when shooting at night, as the long exposure time does not allow for handheld photography.
