Photography tips
How this image was taken
For this night shot, the shutter speed of one second captures the ambient light, while the aperture of f/11 ensures a deep depth of field. The ISO setting of 6400 compensates for the low light levels in the night environment.
- Use a longer shutter speed to capture the urban reflections on the water surface.
- Select a narrow aperture like f/11 to achieve consistent sharpness across the cityscape from the foreground buildings to the background.
- Adjust the ISO setting to suit the lighting conditions, ensuring architectural details remain visible in the dark.
