Photography tips
How this image was taken
For this shot during the blue hour, a long shutter speed of 6 seconds was chosen to capture the dim light, while an aperture of f/10 allowed for deep focus throughout the scene. The low ISO of 100 ensures high image quality without noticeable noise.
- Use a stopped-down aperture like f/10 to achieve high depth of field across the entire image.
- Select a longer shutter speed to record details in low light and create a smooth water surface.
- Keep the ISO setting as low as possible to ensure the image remains clean and free of digital noise.
