Photography tips
How this image was taken
This shot was taken with a shutter speed of 1.6 s to capture the light trails of the vehicles, while the aperture of f/18 creates the distinct starburst effect of the street lights.
- Use a long shutter speed to turn movement like vehicle lights into visible lines.
- Choose a small aperture like f/18 to make light sources shine in a star-like manner.
- Look for a puddle in the foreground to reflect the surroundings and the lights in your image.
- Use a low camera angle with a 18 mm wide-angle lens to emphasize the reflection effectively.
