Photography tips
How this image was taken
For this night shot, a shutter speed of 1.3 seconds was used to capture the blue light of the installation. The aperture of f/22 provides a deep depth of field, while the ISO of 800 increases light sensitivity.
- Use a long shutter speed to ensure the glowing subject is clearly captured in the dark.
- Choose a small aperture like f/22 to maximize the depth of field and define pinpoint light sources clearly.
- Adjust the ISO setting during the night to balance image noise and the required exposure levels.
