Photography tips
How this image was taken
For this night shot, the shutter speed of 1.3 seconds allowed for sufficient exposure of the light installations, while the aperture of f/4 lets in enough light. The focal length of 22 mm captures the scene widely, with an ISO of 1000 increasing light sensitivity for the nighttime environment.
- Use a shutter speed of over a second to clearly capture the nocturnal light installations.
- Choose an open aperture like f/4 to allow enough light to reach the sensor in low-light conditions.
- Experiment with the focal length, using 22 mm to include both the bridge and the surrounding area in your frame.
