Photography tips
How this image was taken
For this night shot, the shutter speed of 1/20 s allowed for sufficient exposure, while the high ISO of 4000 captured the available light to render the details of the fountain and the old town despite the dark surroundings.
- Choose a medium aperture like f/5.1 to let in enough light while focusing on the main subject.
- Use a moderate shutter speed to freeze the motion of the water under night lighting conditions.
- Adjust the ISO value according to the lighting to achieve proper brightness when shooting in the dark.
- Utilize a longer focal length to specifically compose a shot featuring a foreground and background.
