Photography tips

How this image was taken

For this shot, the shutter speed of 1.6 seconds combined with an aperture of f/8 provides sufficient exposure for the nocturnal scene, while the ISO 640 maintains a balance between light sensitivity and image quality. The 21 mm focal length allows for a wide view through the circular frame.

  • Use geometric elements like a porthole as a natural frame to direct the viewer's focus towards the subject.
  • Select a longer shutter speed to capture enough light during night photography and achieve a balanced exposure.
  • Pay attention to the composition by centering the main subject within the frame to emphasize the symmetry of the shot.
