Photography tips

How this image was taken

For this night shot, the combination of a 1.6 s shutter speed and an aperture of f/13 ensures sufficient depth of field, while the ISO 6400 setting captures the available ambient light. The 12 mm focal length provides a wide perspective of the riverside.

  • Select a small aperture to capture ambient lights as precise points of illumination.
  • Use a short shutter speed in combination with a high ISO value to make details in dark areas visible at night.
  • Utilize a wide-angle lens to comprehensively capture the entire scene and the reflections in the water.
