Photography tips
How this image was taken
The combination of a wide aperture of f/2 and a moderate shutter speed of 1/6 s allows for sufficient light capture in challenging night conditions, while an ISO of 2000 ensures proper exposure. The 12 mm focal length creates a wide angle that frames the subject through an object in the foreground.
- Use an object in the foreground, such as a railing, to create a natural frame for your subject.
- Choose a wide aperture to let enough light reach the sensor during night shots.
- Experiment with the shutter speed to find a balance between brightness and image sharpness.
