Photography tips
How this image was taken
For this night shot, the long exposure time of 10 seconds allows the motion of the Ferris wheel to be captured as a continuous circle of light, while the small aperture of f/22 provides a deep depth of field.
- Use a long exposure time to capture light trails from moving objects in the dark.
- Choose a small aperture to accurately render points of light in night photography.
- Look for a calm water surface to ensure that the reflections of the light are clearly mirrored in the water.
