Photography tips
How this image was taken
In this shot, the long exposure of 10 seconds results in a smooth water surface, while the aperture of f/14 ensures consistent depth of field throughout. The low ISO of 64 minimizes digital noise during the challenging light of sunset.
- Use a long exposure time to render the movement of the water soft and smooth.
- Select a closed aperture like f/14 to achieve great depth of field across the entire scene.
- Keep the ISO value as low as possible to maximize image quality during long exposures.
