Photography tips
How this image was taken
This night shot uses a shutter speed of 1/40 s and ISO 5000 to capture the dynamic light trails despite the low ambient light. The f/4 aperture and 24 mm focal length allow for a sharp rendering of the monument amidst the moving light elements.
- Use a fast shutter speed if you want to freeze rapid light movements precisely.
- Select a high ISO sensitivity to achieve sufficient brightness in night shots without additional light sources.
- Opt for an open aperture like f/4 with a 24 mm focal length to find a good balance between depth of field and light intake.
