Photography tips
How this image was taken
For this night shot, a wide-angle focal length of 12 mm was used, while the aperture of f/2 captures enough light to produce a recognizable image at a shutter speed of 1/10 s despite the ISO 2000 setting.
- Use an open aperture to gather sufficient brightness for a fast shutter speed in challenging light conditions.
- Select a short focal length in the wide-angle range to capture both the tower and its reflection in the water.
- Balance your ISO setting to manage image noise while ensuring enough light is captured for your chosen shutter speed.
