Photography tips
How this image was taken
For this night shot, the long exposure time of 15 seconds ensures an even exposure, while the small aperture of f/18 accentuates the lights of the bridge. The ISO 640 setting provides sufficient brightness under the given lighting conditions.
- Choose a small aperture for night shots to capture the light of lamps intentionally.
- Use a long exposure time to capture enough details, such as the snow on the roof, despite the dark environment.
- Use a medium focal length of 50 mm to capture architectural details like the Water Tower and the bridge in a balanced way.
