Photography tips
How this image was taken
This night shot was captured using an 18 mm focal length, an aperture of f/4, and a shutter speed of 1/13 s, with an ISO setting of 500 to balance the lighting atmosphere.
- Use a wide aperture to allow enough light to hit the sensor in challenging lighting conditions.
- Select a shutter speed that is long enough to capture details of the illuminated facade without excessive image noise.
- Pay attention to your focal length in the wide-angle range and align carefully to manage perspective distortion in architectural photography.
