Photography tips
How this image was taken
In this shot, an aperture of f/4 and an ISO of 5000 allow for sufficient exposure in difficult lighting conditions, while the shutter speed of 1/20 s captures the dynamic light trails. The 24 mm focal length helps to encompass both the monument and the light installation within the frame.
- Choose a wide aperture to gather enough light for the night scene.
- Experiment with shutter speeds to control how the movement of light installations appears.
- Use a high ISO sensitivity when photographing in low light without additional equipment.
