Photography tips
How this image was taken
For this night shot, the wide aperture of f/2 and an ISO of 2000 allow sufficient light to be captured with a shutter speed of 1/25 s. The focal length of 12 mm provides a wide field of view, encompassing both the architecture and its reflection.
- Use a fast aperture to ensure enough light hits the sensor in challenging lighting conditions.
- Select a wide-angle lens if you want to capture architectural subjects together with their surrounding environment and reflections.
- Pay attention to your ISO settings to enable shooting at night without needing extremely long shutter speeds.
