Photography tips

How this image was taken

For this night shot, the aperture of f/4 and ISO 4000 allow for sufficient light intake at a shutter speed of 1/10 s to capture the nocturnal scene.

  • Use a wide aperture to achieve sufficient brightness in challenging lighting conditions.
  • Select a higher ISO value if you aim for a fast shutter speed to minimize camera shake.
  • Pay attention to a steady composition with your 28 mm focal length to effectively capture the reflections of the buildings on the water.
