Photography tips
How this image was taken
For this night shot, a shutter speed of 4 seconds was used to capture the ambient light, while an aperture of f/6.3 provides sufficient depth of field. The ISO of 800, combined with a focal length of 30 mm, strikes an effective balance between image noise and detail in the light projections.
- Use a longer shutter speed for night photography to allow enough light to reach the sensor.
- Adjust your aperture carefully to keep both the subject and the surroundings sharp at 30 mm focal length.
- Select an ISO of 800 to achieve proper exposure with these specific settings.
