Photography tips
How this image was taken
For this night shot, the long exposure time of 4 seconds ensures sufficient brightness in the dark surroundings, while the aperture of f/8 allows for good depth of field. The ISO of 500 provides a balance between light sensitivity and image noise.
- Choose a long exposure time to capture the faint light of the night and the fireworks reflections in the clouds.
- Use a medium aperture like f/8 to keep both the Chapel Bridge and the fireworks in focus.
- Apply a short focal length of 15 mm to capture the expansive scenery above the bridge.
