Photography tips

How this image was taken

For this night shot, the shutter speed of 1/2 s allows enough light to reach the sensor, while the aperture of f/9 ensures the glass facade remains sharp. The ISO value of 500 provides a balance between sensitivity and image quality at a focal length of 45 mm.

  • Select an aperture like f/9 to keep the architectural details of the glass front in sharp focus.
  • Ensure a steady hand or a stable surface when using longer shutter speeds to avoid camera shake.
  • Use the reflections of the light installations intentionally as a creative element within your composition.
