Photography tips
How this image was taken
For this night shot, the aperture of f/8 and a shutter speed of 1/5 second provide a balanced exposure of the building, while the ISO 800 keeps noise levels manageable. The 30 mm focal length captures the architecture with a natural field of view.
- Use a mid-range aperture to ensure both the projections and the building details remain sharp.
- Adjust your ISO to match the ambient lighting, ensuring the shutter speed remains suitable for a sharp handheld shot.
- Pay close attention to your shutter speed relative to the brightness of the projections to prevent highlights from becoming overexposed.
