Photography tips
How this image was taken
For this night shot, a shutter speed of 4 seconds combined with an aperture of f/10 allowed for a detailed rendering of the lights while maintaining a low ISO of 200.
- Choose a closed aperture such as f/10 for a high depth of field, ensuring both the Ferris wheel and the architecture in the background are sharp.
- Use a long shutter speed to capture the lights of the Ferris wheel and the reflections on the water surface clearly.
- Keep the ISO setting as low as possible to minimize image noise in the dark areas of the night sky.
