Photography tips
How this image was taken
To capture this image in low light, a shutter speed of 15 s was used to smooth the water surface. The small aperture of f/22 ensures a deep depth of field, while the ISO 800 setting provides the necessary sensitivity for the twilight conditions.
- Use a long shutter speed to smooth out motion in the water and create a reflective surface.
- Choose a small aperture if you want to achieve consistent sharpness across the entire scene.
- Ensure the camera remains perfectly still when working with longer shutter speeds.
