Photography tips

How this image was taken

For this night shot, a shutter speed of 3.2 s was selected to effectively capture the illumination. The small aperture of f/22 helps render light points as distinct stars while maintaining deep focus.

  • Use a longer shutter speed to capture the movement of the lights within the Ferris wheel.
  • Select a small aperture setting to create a starburst effect on bright light sources.
  • Look for a calm, reflective water surface to enhance the symmetry of your composition.
