Photography tips

How this image was taken

To capture the circular motion blur of the Ferris wheel, a long shutter speed of 2 seconds was used. The aperture of f/22 and a low ISO 64 ensure correct exposure under these light conditions.

  • Use a shutter speed of several seconds to render the rotation of the wheel as a motion blur effect.
  • Select a small aperture like f/22 to enable a longer exposure time despite the bright sky.
  • Keep the ISO value as low as possible to maintain image quality during the long exposure.
