Photography tips
How this image was taken
For this shot, the settings help capture the light installation inside the church: The aperture of f/4 lets in sufficient light, while the ISO 4000 setting allows for a proper exposure despite the short shutter speed of 1/13 s. Using a focal length of 12 mm, you can capture the full width of the interior.
- Use a short shutter speed to precisely freeze the motion of the light projections.
- Choose a low f-number so that enough light reaches the sensor in these difficult lighting conditions.
- Utilize an ultra-wide-angle focal length to fully capture the architectural proportions of the nave.
- Adjust your ISO sensitivity to achieve even lighting of the details at your chosen shutter speed.
