Photography tips
How this image was taken
For this nocturnal subject, the aperture of f/4 and ISO 4000 allow for sufficient exposure with a shutter speed of 1/13 s, facilitating a handheld shot of the light projection.
- Use a short shutter speed to minimize motion blur from passers-by or slight camera shake during handheld shooting.
- Select a wide focal length like 17 mm to capture the entire facade of the historic architecture and the light projection in one frame.
- Monitor the intensity of the light projection and adjust your ISO setting to balance image noise under challenging lighting conditions.
