Photography tips
How this image was taken
For night shots with light projections, the longer exposure time of 2 seconds and a moderate ISO setting of 800 help to capture both the details of the facade and the reflections on the water surface in low ambient light.
- Use a longer shutter speed to capture the dim light of the projections and the reflections in the water clearly despite the darkness.
- Choose an aperture of f/6.3 to ensure sufficient depth of field for the building while allowing enough light for the exposure.
- Adjust the ISO sensitivity to strike a balance between avoiding image noise and maintaining enough light sensitivity for nighttime conditions.
