Photography tips
How this image was taken
For this shot in fading light, an aperture of f/4 and ISO 1600 were chosen to capture a sharp image at a shutter speed of 1/125 s without motion blur despite the ship's movement.
- Choose a sufficiently fast shutter speed like 1/125 s to freeze the movement of the ship.
- Use a wide aperture like f/4 to allow enough light to reach the sensor in challenging lighting conditions.
- Adjust the ISO value according to the lighting mood to achieve a correctly exposed image despite the fast shutter speed.
