Photography tips
How this image was taken
This night shot was captured with a shutter speed of 1/13 s and an ISO of 4000 to record the illuminated fountains in low light. The 108 mm focal length helped to focus on the details of the water jets.
- Use a shutter speed that is fast enough to capture the splashing water sharply without motion blur.
- Choose a high ISO value to ensure sufficient brightness on the sensor in nighttime lighting conditions.
- Experiment with the focal length to highlight the structure of the fountains by using a tighter frame.
