Photography tips
How this image was taken
To capture the fireworks at night, a shutter speed of 6 seconds was used to trace the light trails. The aperture of f/6.3 ensures sufficient depth of field, while the ISO 500 setting minimizes image noise in low light.
- Select a long shutter speed to allow the fireworks to fully draw their light trails.
- Use a moderate aperture like f/6.3 to keep both the fireworks and the architecture in focus.
- Adjust your ISO to balance brightness and image noise during night photography.
