Photography tips
How this image was taken
For this night shot, a shutter speed of 2 seconds was chosen to capture sufficient brightness despite low light levels at f/4.5 and ISO 800. The 15 mm focal length provides a wide angle of view, encompassing both the Chapel Bridge and the detail in the puddle in the foreground.
- Look for puddles on the ground to incorporate architectural elements as reflections into your composition.
- Choose a low camera perspective to emphasize the foreground and effectively integrate the reflection into the frame.
- Experiment with the shutter speed to achieve a balanced exposure in low light without increasing the ISO value too much.
