Photography tips
How this image was taken
To capture night-time light installations like the Lilu Festival with clear detail, an aperture of f/13 was used, while the 12 mm focal length provides a wide-angle view of the scene. The shutter speed of 1/25 s and ISO 500 ensure a balanced exposure of the glowing objects against the dark backdrop.
- Select a high f-number to achieve deep depth of field, keeping both the sunflowers in the foreground and the architecture in the background sharp.
- Use a wide-angle focal length to emphasize the relationship between the light installation and the surrounding building.
- Adjust your ISO settings according to the low-light environment to balance image noise with the visibility of the illuminated sculptures.
