Photography tips

How this image was taken

For this night shot, the aperture of f/10 ensured deep focus, while the 4-second shutter speed captured the ambient light of the installation. The ISO setting of 800 balances light sensitivity with image noise.

  • Use an archway or other architectural elements as a natural frame for your subject.
  • Select a medium aperture to keep your subject sharp even in low light conditions.
  • Ensure you have a stable position when using longer shutter speeds to keep the image clear despite the lighting.
