Photography tips
How this image was taken
For this shot in low light, a longer shutter speed of 1.3 seconds was used to make the water appear smooth, while an aperture of f/22 ensures a deep depth of field from the foreground to the horizon.
- Use a small aperture like f/22 to achieve consistent focus from the immediate foreground to the distant horizon.
- Select a longer shutter speed to capture the motion of the water in a smooth and fluid way.
- Maintain a low ISO setting to keep image noise to a minimum during the longer exposure.
