Photography tips

How this image was taken

In this shot, the long exposure time of 10 seconds creates smooth light trails from the Ferris wheel, while the small aperture of f/22 ensures a deep depth of field.

  • Use a long exposure time to capture the movement of the lights in a fluid way.
  • Select a small aperture like f/22 to capture light points with definition.
  • Look for a calm water surface to achieve a clear reflection.
