Photography tips
How this image was taken
In this shot, a long shutter speed of 4 seconds was used to capture the violet light of the fireworks, while an aperture of f/8 provides sufficient depth of field.
- Select a long shutter speed to effectively capture the luminosity of the fireworks.
- Use a wide-angle lens of 15 mm to frame the entire scene including the Chapel Bridge and the sky.
- Adjust the ISO sensitivity to 500 to achieve a balanced ratio between light and image noise during night photography.
