Photography tips
How this image was taken
Using a shutter speed of 1 second turns the movement of the illuminated fountains into soft lines, while ISO 100 ensures clean image quality. The aperture of f/4.5 allows for a balanced exposure in this lighting situation.
- Use a long shutter speed to transform the water's movement into a fluid, soft shape.
- Choose a low ISO setting to minimize image noise and capture the details of the illuminated fountain clearly.
- Experiment with different focal lengths to carefully frame the fountains and integrate the background effectively.
