Photography tips
How this image was taken
For this night shot, a long shutter speed of 30 s was chosen to capture the festival light and its reflections on the water, while the aperture of f/8 ensures sufficient depth of field. The ISO setting of 800 allows for enough brightness in these challenging lighting conditions.
- Select a long shutter speed to effectively capture the light beams and their reflections on the water at night.
- Use a moderate aperture like f/8 to ensure both the historic building and the light installations are in focus.
- Adjust the ISO setting to find a balance between image noise and the necessary exposure in the dark environment.
