Photography tips
How this image was taken
For this night shot, the aperture of f/13 ensures sufficient depth of field, while the shutter speed of 2 seconds captures enough light for building details. The ISO setting of 2500 balances the lighting conditions to achieve an appropriate exposure with the chosen aperture.
- Use a small aperture like f/13 to render details and light reflections precisely.
- Select a longer shutter speed to make the reflections of the lights in the water surface visible.
- Use a higher ISO setting as needed to control the required exposure for night shots.
