Photography tips
How this image was taken
For this shot, I selected a small aperture of f/22 to emphasize the light source, while the 1/60 s shutter speed at a 12 mm focal length helps to slightly smooth the motion of the water.
- Use the architecture of the Chapel Bridge as a natural frame to add depth to your image.
- Select a narrow aperture if you want to achieve a starburst effect when shooting directly into the light.
- Pay attention to the foreground when using a 12 mm focal length to effectively utilize the wide-angle perspective and enhance the composition.
