Photography tips
How this image was taken
For this shot in the dark church, an open aperture of f/4 and a high ISO of 4000 were necessary to capture enough light for the projections despite the short shutter speed of 1/13 s. The 12 mm focal length provides a wide-angle view of the entire architecture.
- Use a wide-angle lens to capture the impressive light projections along with the ceiling and altar architecture in their entirety.
- Pay attention to your shutter speed so that the movement of the light installations does not blur, while adjusting your ISO to the challenging low-light conditions at night.
- Utilize an open aperture to ensure sufficient exposure of the architectural details when shooting in low light.
