Photography tips

How this image was taken

For this subject, a shutter speed of 1/3 second and an aperture of f/4 help to capture the light beams in the fog, while the ISO 500 keeps image noise at a moderate level. A focal length of 36 mm provides a suitable framing for the light installations.

  • Use a longer shutter speed to make the light beams in the thick fog clearly visible.
  • Select a wide aperture like f/4 to capture enough light for a relatively short exposure under these conditions.
  • Experiment with different perspectives to arrange the luminous objects harmoniously within the frame.
