Photography tips
How this image was taken
The exposure time of 10 seconds allows capturing the subtle light projection in the dark environment, while the aperture of f/10 ensures good depth of field. The low ISO sensitivity of 200 contributes to a clean image quality.
- Use a long exposure time to make the light beams visible in the fog.
- Choose a medium aperture to ensure both the architecture and the light details are captured sharply.
- Keep the ISO sensitivity as low as possible to avoid image noise in the dark areas of the picture.
