Photography tips
How this image was taken
For this nighttime shot, a shutter speed of 10 seconds was chosen to capture the light trails of the fireworks. The aperture of f/11 ensures consistent sharpness throughout this long exposure, while the low ISO of 200 minimizes image noise.
- Select a long shutter speed to capture the movement of the fireworks across the entire exposure time.
- Use a narrow aperture like f/11 to ensure both the architecture and light effects remain sharp.
- Keep the ISO setting as low as possible to maintain a clean, noise-free image during long exposures.
