Photography tips
How this image was taken
For this shot, a focal length of 50 mm, a shutter speed of 10 seconds, and an aperture of f/11 were used to capture the brightness of the fireworks optimally at ISO 200.
- Use a longer shutter speed to fully capture the light trails of the fireworks.
- Choose a closed aperture like f/11 to render both the architecture and the fireworks in sharp focus.
- Keep the ISO setting low to minimize image noise in the dark areas of this night shot.
