Photography tips
How this image was taken
This night shot uses a shutter speed of 1 second for sufficient exposure, while the aperture of f/20 controls light intake and the 12 mm focal length captures the alley widely. The ISO 2500 setting balances the lighting conditions for the exposure time used.
- Use a small aperture like f/20 to create a distinct starburst effect on light sources.
- Choose a wide-angle focal length of 12 mm to capture the architectural depth of the alley.
- Adjust the ISO value according to the available brightness to ensure a properly exposed image despite the long shutter speed.
