Photography tips
How this image was taken
To capture the night atmosphere of the light festival in low light, an open aperture of f/2 combined with an ISO of 2000 was chosen, allowing for a shutter speed of 1/20 s. The 12 mm focal length provides the wide angle of view.
- Use an archway or other architectural elements as a natural frame to add depth to your image.
- Select an open aperture to ensure enough light reaches the sensor despite the darkness.
- Experiment with your perspective by consciously incorporating the foreground into your composition.
