Photography tips
How this image was taken
For this shot, a focal length of 12 mm was used to capture a wide field of view, while the small aperture of f/20 creates a distinct starburst effect on the light source. The combination of 1/125 s shutter speed and ISO 500 provided a balanced exposure of the light installation in the evening light.
- Use a small aperture setting like f/20 to achieve a star-shaped light effect around direct light sources.
- Select a wide-angle lens to fully capture both the light installation in the foreground and the panorama featuring Mount Pilatus in the background.
