Photography tips
How this image was taken
For this night shot, the one-second shutter speed provides a fluid representation of the water fountain, while the ISO 800 provides sufficient sensitivity for the dark environment. The aperture of f/6.3 allows for enough depth of field to capture both the light installation and the patterns in the water clearly.
- Use a longer shutter speed to depict the movement of the water in a smooth and detailed way.
- Select a mid-range ISO value to achieve a good balance between brightness and image noise despite low ambient light.
- Pay attention to a medium aperture setting to maintain focus on the projected light motif.
