Photography tips
How this image was taken
For this night shot, the long exposure time of 8 seconds ensures sufficient brightness, while the small aperture of f/22 creates the distinct starburst effect around the light sources.
- Use an object in the foreground to add depth to your image and create an interesting frame.
- Experiment with a small aperture to render bright light points as stars.
- Choose a longer exposure time to capture enough light in the dark.
