Photography tips
How this image was taken
For this night shot, a shutter speed of 6 seconds was chosen to capture the brightness of the fireworks, while an aperture of f/8 provides sufficient depth of field. An ISO setting of 500 balances light sensitivity with image quality.
- Use a long shutter speed to capture the light trails of the fireworks throughout the exposure.
- Select a medium aperture like f/8 to ensure both the architecture and the fireworks are rendered sharply.
- Adjust the ISO value according to the ambient light to prevent excessive noise in your night images.
