Photography tips
How this image was taken
This night shot combines a longer shutter speed of 1.6 seconds with an aperture of f/6.3 and ISO 800 to capture the light display on the water in detail. These settings allowed for the dynamic movement of the water to be captured while properly exposing the light projection.
- Use a longer shutter speed to render the movement of the water fountain in a soft and flowing manner.
- Select a moderate aperture to ensure both the light source and the reflections on the water surface appear sharp.
- Adjust the ISO values according to the ambient lighting to achieve sufficient brightness in the night scene without introducing excessive noise.
