Photography tips
How this image was taken
For this night shot, the 2-second shutter speed creates the characteristic light trails of the vehicles, while the f/4 aperture and ISO 100 maintain a balance between exposure and image quality. The 18mm focal length allows for a wide perspective of the street.
- Use a long shutter speed to capture the motion of vehicles as continuous light lines.
- Choose a low ISO setting to keep image noise at a minimum during night photography.
- Select a wide-angle focal length to emphasize the dynamics of the urban street and the depth of the cycle lane.
