Photography tips
How this image was taken
With a shutter speed of 1/2 second and an aperture of f/4, enough light is captured to display the night scene in detail despite the moderate ISO sensitivity of 500. The focal length of 27 mm allows for a balanced composition of the Wasserturm within its urban surroundings.
- Use a longer shutter speed to capture the remaining ambient light in the dark.
- Ensure an open aperture to achieve proper exposure in low-light conditions.
- Select a medium ISO setting to balance image noise and light sensitivity.
