Photography tips
How this image was taken
A shutter speed of one second was used to capture the movement of cars as light trails, while the aperture of f/9 ensures consistent sharpness across the architecture.
- Choose a longer shutter speed to make the motion of passing light sources visible.
- Use a medium aperture like f/9 to capture both the details of the facade and the light trails in sharp focus.
- Use a focal length of 15 mm to include the entire building in your composition.
