Photography tips
How this image was taken
To capture this night scene, a wide angle of 12 mm was used to encompass the scene. With an aperture of f/2 and an ISO of 2000, a shutter speed of 1/15 s was sufficient to capture the image despite the low light conditions.
- Use a wide angle lens like 12 mm to capture the architecture and its surroundings completely.
- Choose a wide aperture like f/2 to ensure enough light reaches the sensor in dark environments.
- Look for a calm water surface to achieve sharp reflections of the light projections.
