Photography tips
How this image was taken
This night shot uses a 1-second shutter speed to gently capture the movement of the water mist, while the f/6.3 aperture provides sufficient depth of field. The ISO 800 setting allowed for an appropriate exposure under these dark conditions.
- Use a longer shutter speed to depict the diffuse light patterns in the water mist as soft and fluid.
- Select a medium aperture to find a balance between light intake and depth of field for the dynamic subject.
- Adjust the ISO value to the lighting conditions to keep image noise low while still capturing details in the dark water during the night projection.
