Photography tips
How this image was taken
For this night shot, a shutter speed of 10 seconds was used to capture enough light despite the small aperture of f/18. The focal length of 15 mm provides a wide perspective, while an ISO of 800 ensures balanced exposure for the illuminated architecture.
- Use a small aperture like f/18 to create distinct star effects from bright light sources.
- Select a long shutter speed to capture dark areas correctly without excessive image noise.
- Apply a short focal length in the wide-angle range to integrate the large portal fully into your composition.
