Photography tips
How this image was taken
For this night shot, a shutter speed of 1/2 second was used to capture the light projection on the water fountain, while an ISO of 800 at f/6.3 ensured balanced exposure in the dark.
- Use a longer shutter speed to capture the movement of the water smoothly and to record the intensity of the light on the surface.
- Select a moderate ISO value like 800 to keep image noise low in challenging lighting conditions.
- Experiment with the aperture to precisely control the depth of field for the illuminated fountain.
