Photography tips
How this image was taken
For this night shot, a shutter speed of 2 seconds and an aperture of f/8 were used to capture both the leaf in the foreground and the ambient light. The focal length of 12 mm allowed for the integration of the bridge's perspective.
- Choose a low camera angle to emphasize the subject in the foreground.
- Use an aperture of f/8 for a balanced depth of field between the leaf and the background.
- Utilize a longer shutter speed to capture the nocturnal lighting atmosphere.
