Photography tips
How this image was taken
For this night scene, the aperture of f/4 and the shutter speed of 1/20 s combined with the high ISO of 5000 allow for adequate exposure of the light installation. The focal length of 15 mm ensures the monument and its surroundings are captured in their entirety.
- Use a wide-angle lens to capture the monumental rock relief and the installation in a single frame.
- Adjust the ISO setting to the available light conditions to achieve sufficient brightness despite the fast shutter speed.
- Choose an appropriate aperture to ensure enough depth of field for the entire subject to remain sharp.
