Photography tips
How this image was taken
This long exposure of 2.5 seconds captures the dynamic light trails, while the aperture of f/6.3 ensures sufficient depth of field for the monument. The ISO value of 320 keeps image noise low under these night lighting conditions.
- Use a long shutter speed to capture the movement of light sources as distinct trails.
- Choose a wide-angle lens with 14 mm focal length to include both the light dynamics and the surrounding monument.
- Carefully adjust the aperture to achieve consistent sharpness in challenging lighting conditions.
