Photography tips
How this image was taken
This shot uses a 2-second shutter speed to capture the fluid movement of the water fountain under nighttime light, with the f/6.3 aperture and ISO 800 ensuring balanced exposure for the projection.
- Choose a longer shutter speed to depict the dynamics of the water movement in a smooth way.
- Use a moderate aperture like f/6.3 to capture both the light projection and the structure of the water with sufficient sharpness.
- Adjust the ISO value to achieve an appropriate exposure under the prevailing light conditions without excessive image noise.
