Photography tips

How this image was taken

For this shot during twilight, a shutter speed of 4 s was chosen to capture the motion of the Ferris wheel, while an aperture of f/22 provides deep depth of field. The ISO 800 allowed for adequate exposure of both the surroundings and the reflection in these light conditions.

  • Use the 15 mm focal length to include the wooden platform in the foreground as a framing element for your composition.
  • Apply a longer shutter speed to capture the dynamic light trails in the water's reflection.
  • Select a closed aperture if you want to maintain sharpness from the foreground to the main subject.
