Photography tips
How this image was taken
The shutter speed of one second allows the motion of the lights to be captured as fluid trails, while the aperture of f/9 ensures sufficient depth of field. An ISO setting of 400 keeps image noise low under these night conditions.
- Choose a longer shutter speed to capture the dynamics of the lights.
- Pay attention to the composition by placing silhouettes in the foreground to create depth.
- Use a medium aperture so that both the amusement ride and the foreground appear sharp.
