Photography tips
How this image was taken
In this shot, the small aperture of f/22 creates pronounced star effects from the street lamps, while the 6-second shutter speed captures the available light. The 15 mm focal length enhances the sense of depth in the alleyway.
- Use a small aperture (high f-number) to turn point light sources into star effects.
- Choose a low camera angle to emphasize the textures of the wet cobblestones in the foreground.
- Use a wide-angle lens to accentuate the architectural impact of the building rows.
