Photography tips
How this image was taken
This shot was captured at night using a shutter speed of 1/5 s, an aperture of f/8, and ISO 800. The aperture of f/8 ensures good depth of field on the facade, while the shutter speed of 1/5 s captures the light trails of passing vehicles and ISO 800 provides the necessary exposure for the light projections.
- When photographing light projections, pay attention to the choice of shutter speed to highlight the dynamics of the lights through motion trails.
- Use a moderate aperture like f/8 to capture architectural details clearly without letting the light sources become overly blown out.
- Experiment with the ISO value in night shots to find a balance between image noise and the visibility of details in darker areas.
