Photography tips
How this image was taken
A shutter speed of 2 seconds was used to capture the motion of the wheel as a blur, while the small aperture of f/22 allows for a long exposure during daylight.
- Use a long shutter speed to intentionally blur the motion of the gondolas and spokes.
- Choose a very small aperture to achieve a sufficiently long exposure time despite the bright daylight.
- Keep the ISO value as low as possible to avoid image noise during long exposures.
