Photography tips
How this image was taken
This night shot uses a shutter speed of 2 seconds to balance the available light despite the aperture of f/4.5 and ISO 800. The focal length of 15 mm provides a wide angle of view, incorporating both the foreground and the water tower into the composition.
- Choose a faster shutter speed if you want to avoid motion blur in the light reflections on the water.
- Use a wide focal length to capture architectural details such as the promenade and the water tower simultaneously.
- Adjust the ISO sensitivity according to the available ambient light to ensure good detail in the nocturnal shadows.
