Photography tips
How this image was taken
For this night shot, the long exposure time of 13 seconds ensures sufficient light, while the small aperture of f/32 creates the characteristic star effect on the light sources.
- Use a small aperture such as f/32 to purposefully render light points as stars.
- Choose a sufficiently long exposure time to capture details even in the dark areas of the nightly facade.
- Pay attention to clean image quality at ISO 800 despite the prevailing darkness.
