Photography tips
How this image was taken
In this night shot, the shutter speed of 2 seconds helps to softly blur the movement of the water fountain, while the aperture of f/6.3 provides sufficient depth of field. An ISO of 800 allows for capturing enough detail in low-light conditions.
- Use a longer exposure time to capture the fluid motion of water during nighttime light installations.
- Choose a medium aperture to sharply define the light source without overly restricting the light intake.
- Adjust the ISO sensitivity to balance image noise while maintaining detail in challenging night lighting.
