Photography tips
How this image was taken
For this night shot, the shutter speed of 3.2 seconds captures the deliberate motion blur of the Ferris wheel, while the aperture of f/22 ensures a deep depth of field. ISO 400 keeps image noise low, and the 15 mm focal length captures the entire subject, including the reflection.
- Use a longer shutter speed to capture the motion of the lights dynamically.
- Select a small aperture like f/22 to achieve high depth of field across the entire frame.
- Look for a calm water surface to allow for a clear reflection of the illuminated subject.
