Photography tips
How this image was taken
The shutter speed of 1.3 seconds allows you to capture the motion of traffic as light streaks, while the aperture of f/18 ensures deep depth of field from the foreground to the architecture. The ISO setting of 200 keeps image noise at a minimum.
- Use a flower bed in the foreground to add depth to your city photography.
- Choose a long shutter speed to integrate motion blur from traffic into your composition.
- Use a small aperture to keep both nearby details and the distant building in focus.
