Photography tips
How this image was taken
For this night shot, the long exposure time of 20 seconds allowed for a correct exposure of the light installations, while the aperture of f/20 ensures a consistent depth of field from the stone arch to the water tower.
- Use a stone arch as a natural frame to add depth to your image.
- Select a closed aperture to capture the subject precisely even in low ambient light.
- Combine a long exposure time with a conscious choice of ISO to retain clear details even in darkness.
