Photography tips
How this image was taken
For this night shot, a shutter speed of 1/6 s combined with an aperture of f/5.6 and an ISO of 4000 allowed capturing the light projections on the water tower without excessive motion blur. The high ISO was necessary to capture sufficient light at the selected focal length of 150 mm.
- When photographing light installations at night, choose a shutter speed that is fast enough to keep the details of the projections sharp.
- Pay attention to camera stability when using a long focal length of 150 mm to avoid blur, despite the relatively short shutter speed.
- Adjust the ISO setting to the prevailing light conditions to balance the brightness of the city lighting and the projections.
