Photography tips
How this image was taken
For this night shot, the shutter speed of 30 seconds and the aperture of f/20 allow for precise exposure and a deep depth of field. The ISO 800 setting combined with the long exposure ensures a clear rendering of the light installations.
- Use a wide-angle lens such as 15 mm to capture the entire architectural scale of the KKL.
- Look for puddles or reflective surfaces on the forecourt to add an extra layer to your composition.
- Choose a narrow aperture like f/20 to render pinpoint light sources as starbursts.
