Photography tips
How this image was taken
For this shot, the long exposure time of 13 seconds captured the diffuse light in the fog, while the aperture of f/16 ensures consistent sharpness. The ISO 400 setting provided a balanced exposure within the dark environment.
- Use a long exposure time to deliberately highlight the beams of light in the fog.
- Choose a narrow aperture like f/16 to achieve a high depth of field for the building.
- Adjust the ISO value moderately to achieve appropriate brightness even in night shots.
