Photography tips
How this image was taken
For this evening shot, the aperture of f/4 and the shutter speed of 1/20 s allow sufficient light to reach the sensor, while the ISO 500 keeps image noise manageable in the low-light conditions. The 20 mm focal length captures both the detail of the light sculpture and the historic architecture in a wide frame.
- Use a wide-angle lens to capture both the light object in the foreground and the surrounding facade.
- Adjust the shutter speed to capture the glowing details of the sculpture without overexposure.
- Choose an ISO value that balances the contrast between the bright light installation and the darker environment.
