Photography tips
How this image was taken
For this night shot, a shutter speed of 5 seconds was chosen to capture the ambient light, while the aperture of f/8 ensures consistent sharpness. The low ISO of 200 keeps image noise to a minimum.
- Use a long shutter speed to correctly capture the light beams in the nocturnal environment.
- Select a medium aperture like f/8 so that both the architecture and the reflections in the water appear sharp.
- Keep the ISO low to achieve clean image quality in dark night conditions.
