Photography tips
How this image was taken
For this night shot, the shutter speed of 2 seconds captures sufficient light, while the aperture of f/13 ensures a deep depth of field. The ISO 6400 compensates for the low light conditions, allowing the illuminated bridge to stand out clearly.
- Use a wide-angle lens such as 12 mm to capture both the architecture and the surrounding scene.
- Ensure your camera is stable to avoid blur during longer exposure times.
- Look for an engaging element in the foreground to create visual depth in your composition.
