Photography tips
How this image was taken
With an exposure time of 4 seconds, the aperture of f/13 ensures sufficient depth of field, while the low ISO of 200 minimizes image noise in this night shot. The 27 mm focal length allows for a balanced composition of the Ferris wheel and the urban skyline.
- Use a longer shutter speed to clearly capture the city lights and their reflections in the water.
- Select a narrow aperture like f/13 to achieve consistent sharpness from the foreground to the background.
- Keep the ISO setting as low as possible to ensure high image quality without unwanted noise during night photography.
