Photography tips
How this image was taken
For this nocturnal subject, a shutter speed of 1.6 s was used to balance the dim light of the projection with an aperture of f/6.3 and ISO 800. The 30 mm focal length allows for a deliberate framing of the tower through the historic stonework.
- Use a stone archway or other architectural elements as a natural frame to add depth to your image.
- Choose a longer shutter speed to gather enough light for a clear capture of the projections even in low-light conditions.
- Consider your aperture setting carefully to balance exposure time and depth of field, ensuring both the foreground and the main subject remain sharp.
