Photography tips
How this image was taken
For this night shot, the one-second shutter speed and ISO 800 provide sufficient exposure in low ambient light, while the f/5.6 aperture ensures a solid depth of field for the architectural detail.
- Use a low camera position near the ground to include puddles as a natural reflection for the portal.
- Choose a short focal length of 15 mm to fully capture the monumental impact of the architecture.
- Ensure perfectly steady camera handling during the one-second exposure to avoid motion blur.
