Photography tips

How this image was taken

For this night shot, the aperture of f/9 provides a good depth of field, while the shutter speed of 1.6 s captures the available light and the high ISO of 6400 enables the exposure in low light conditions.

  • Pay attention to your settings and adjust the aperture to capture details in the historic architecture with clarity.
  • Use a longer shutter speed to effectively render the city lights and the illuminated towers of the Musegg Wall.
  • Experiment with your perspective to align the distinctive watchtowers against the backdrop of the hillside city.
