Photography tips
How this image was taken
This night shot was taken with a shutter speed of 1/1 s and an aperture of f/4, with an ISO of 1000 providing the necessary light sensitivity for the dimly lit subjects at 26 mm focal length.
- Use a longer shutter speed to ensure the light installations are captured brightly enough in dark environments.
- Select an open aperture like f/4 to allow sufficient light to reach the sensor in challenging lighting conditions.
- Adjust the ISO setting to find a balance between image noise and the exposure required during the night.
