Photography tips

How this image was taken

In this shot, the exposure time of 2 seconds captures the movement of the water mist smoothly, while the aperture of f/6.3 provides sufficient depth of field for the ship in the background.

  • Choose a longer exposure time to render the movement of the water and the light projections fluidly.
  • Use a moderate aperture to ensure both the light installation and the ship in the background remain visible.
  • Adjust the ISO setting according to the dark surroundings to achieve a balanced exposure despite the light sources.
