Photography tips
How this image was taken
For this night shot, a shutter speed of 5 seconds was used to capture the movement of the light projection, while an aperture of f/8 provides deep focus across the scene. The ISO setting of 200 keeps image noise low during this long exposure.
- Use a longer shutter speed to make dynamic light effects visible in your image.
- Choose a medium aperture like f/8 to ensure architectural details remain sharp.
- Keep your ISO setting low to achieve high image quality without unwanted noise.
