Photography tips
How this image was taken
In this shot, the one-second shutter speed creates the dynamic light trails from the moving ride. The aperture of f/11 provides deep focus, while the ISO 500 setting captures the nocturnal light patterns with clarity.
- Use a shutter speed of at least one second for long exposures to capture the motion blur of the ride effectively.
- Select an aperture around f/11 to ensure the lights of the ferris wheel remain sharp.
- Utilize a wide-angle lens with a focal length of 12 mm to encompass both the ride and the background structures in your frame.
