Photography tips
How this image was taken
By using a wide aperture of f/1.8 at night, you achieve a shallow depth of field, which creates the blurred light points shown. The shutter speed of 1/15 s and the ISO value of 200 ensure sufficient exposure in low-light conditions.
- Use a fast prime lens with a wide aperture to create the desired bokeh at night.
- Set the focus manually on a nearby surface so that distant light sources dissolve into blur.
- Experiment with the shutter speed to capture enough light despite the dark surroundings.
