Photography tips
How this image was taken
In this night shot, the long shutter speed of 1.6 s creates a smooth appearance of the flowing water, while the ISO 100 setting ensures high image quality with minimal noise. The aperture of f/4.5 at a 16 mm focal length allows enough light onto the sensor to clearly capture both the structure of the KKL and the fountain.
- Select a longer shutter speed to capture the motion of the water in a soft and flowing manner.
- Use a low ISO setting like ISO 100 to minimize image noise during night shots.
- Employ a wide-angle perspective at 16 mm focal length to capture both the KKL and the fountain in their entirety.
