Photography tips
How this image was taken
For this nocturnal subject, a shutter speed of 1/10 s and an aperture of f/4 were used, combined with an ISO of 4000 to capture enough light for the illuminated fountains.
- Choose a wide aperture like f/4 to allow sufficient light to reach the sensor in dark conditions.
- Ensure a steady hand or a stable support with a shutter speed of 1/10 s to avoid motion blur.
- Adjust the ISO settings according to the available light to achieve a correct exposure despite low ambient light levels at short shutter speeds.
