Photography tips
How this image was taken
For this night shot, a shutter speed of 2 seconds was chosen to capture the moving water of the fountain despite the low light conditions. The aperture of f/6.3 combined with ISO 800 ensures a balance between detail and image noise.
- Use a longer shutter speed to capture the dynamics of the water fountain in the dark.
- Select a medium aperture like f/6.3 to achieve sufficient depth of field for the illuminated subject.
- Adjust the ISO value moderately to avoid significant image noise in low light.
