Photography tips

How this image was taken

To achieve sufficient brightness in these challenging lighting conditions, a wide aperture of f/2 and a high ISO of 4000 were used, while the shutter speed of 1/30 s still allowed for a handheld shot. The 12 mm focal length captures the entire space and the projections in their full extent.

  • Use a fast lens with a wide aperture to capture the available light effectively.
  • Choose a high ISO value to maintain a fast shutter speed and avoid motion blur caused by the audience.
  • Use an ultra-wide-angle lens to fully capture the architectural proportions of the vaulted ceiling.
