Photography tips
How this image was taken
This night shot uses a shutter speed of 2 s to capture the light reflections and an aperture of f/13 to render light sources as points. The ISO of 6400 allows for exposure in low light, while the 12 mm focal length provides a wide view of the scene.
- Use the foreground with the metal railing intentionally to add depth to your composition.
- Choose a narrow aperture like f/13 if you want the street lamps to appear as starbursts.
- Pay attention to the placement of prominent objects at the edges when using a 12 mm focal length to manage perspective distortion.
