Photography tips
How this image was taken
To capture the light projection at night, a shutter speed of 1/20 s and an aperture of f/4 were chosen, with the high ISO value of 5000 providing the necessary light sensitivity. The focal length of 12 mm makes it possible to depict the entire facade of the Hofapotheke.
- Use a wide-angle lens to capture the entire building and the projection.
- Select a high ISO value to capture sufficient details despite the low light conditions at night and a rather closed aperture.
- Pay attention when choosing the shutter speed to ensure it remains fast enough to capture the structures of the light projection sharply.
