Photography tips
How this image was taken
The settings for this image allow for a precise rendering of the light effects. The long exposure of 10 seconds captures the dynamics of the fireworks, while the closed aperture of f/11 ensures high depth of field and the ISO 200 keeps image noise to a minimum.
- Choose a long exposure time to allow the light trails of the fireworks to trace across the sensor.
- Use a closed aperture like f/11 to capture the light points with precision.
- Keep the ISO value low to ensure a clean image without distracting noise during night photography.
