Photography tips
How this image was taken
In this shot, the shutter speed of 5 seconds captures the fireworks as continuous trails of light, while the aperture of f/11 provides sufficient depth of field for the tower and the ISO 200 minimizes image noise.
- Use a long shutter speed to record the motion of the fireworks as light trails over time.
- Select a closed aperture like f/11 to ensure both the historic building and the fireworks remain in focus.
- Keep the ISO low to achieve a clean, noise-free result during long exposures.
