Photography tips
How this image was taken
For this night shot, the combination of a shutter speed of 1/5 s and an aperture of f/6.3 allows the illuminated lion to be captured clearly, while the high ISO of 20000 provides the necessary sensitivity in the dark.
- Use a short shutter speed to sharply capture the details of the illuminated sculpture despite the challenging lighting conditions at night.
- Select a medium aperture to achieve sufficient depth of field for the entire relief within the grotto.
- Adjust your ISO value flexibly to precisely utilize the available artificial light without additional artificial brightening.
