Photography tips
How this image was taken
Combining a one-second shutter speed at f/4 with ISO 1000 allows for capturing sufficient details in low light, while the 22 mm focal length captures the entire scene.
- Use a longer shutter speed to clearly capture the light reflections on the water.
- Choose a wide aperture like f/4 to ensure enough light reaches the sensor in dim conditions.
- Adjust the ISO sensitivity to achieve a properly exposed image of the night-time architecture at a one-second exposure time.
