Photography tips
How this image was taken
For this night shot, an aperture of f/2 was chosen to capture plenty of light in low-light conditions. The shutter speed of 1.6 s ensures proper exposure of dark areas, while an ISO of 200 keeps image noise to a minimum.
- Use a wide aperture to let enough light onto the sensor despite the nighttime lighting conditions.
- Choose a wide-angle lens like 12 mm to capture both the architecture and the foreground in a single frame.
- Ensure a stable position for longer shutter speeds to avoid blur during the exposure.
