Photography tips
How this image was taken
The selected settings, featuring a shutter speed of 1/100 s and an aperture of f/4, allowed for a sharp subject despite the evening light. An ISO setting of 6400 was required to capture sufficient light during the onset of twilight.
- Select a fast shutter speed for moving subjects at twilight to prevent blur.
- Use a wide aperture to capture more light on the sensor during low-light conditions.
- Adjust the ISO setting according to the available ambient light to achieve proper exposure without relying on long shutter speeds.
