Photography tips
How this image was taken
For this night shot, the long exposure time of 10 seconds allows enough light to reach the sensor, while the narrow aperture of f/18 ensures a deep depth of field.
- Use a long exposure time to capture enough light for illuminated facades during night conditions.
- Select a high f-number such as f/18 if you aim to create a starburst effect from point light sources.
- Pay close attention to your focal length of 128 mm, as any slight movement will be immediately noticeable due to the high magnification.
