Photography tips
How this image was taken
For this night shot, the aperture of f/4 combined with an ISO of 5000 allowed for sufficient exposure of the light installation, while the 1/20 s shutter speed captured the image in the night environment. The 14 mm focal length provides a wide angle of view that incorporates the monument and its surroundings comprehensively.
- Use a high ISO sensitivity for night photography to achieve sufficient brightness despite a short shutter speed.
- Utilize a wide-angle lens to capture the monument and the light effects in their entirety.
- Pay attention to the balance between aperture and shutter speed in your settings to clearly capture the light trails of the installation.
