Photography tips
How this image was taken
This night shot uses a shutter speed of 1/20 s and an open aperture of f/4 to capture the light trails in front of the monument, while the high ISO of 5000 ensures sufficient brightness in low-light conditions.
- Use a wide-angle lens with a 14 mm focal length to capture both the monument and the expansive light patterns.
- Apply specific settings to balance the shutter speed with the intensity of the light sources.
- Focus your composition on using the monument as a static background to contrast the movement of the light in the foreground.
