Photography tips
How this image was taken
For this shot, the 13-second shutter speed allows the vehicle lights to be rendered as continuous trails. The aperture of f/22 creates visible star effects around the point light sources, while the ISO 200 setting keeps image noise to a minimum.
- Use a long shutter speed to capture the motion of lights as flowing trails in your frame.
- Select a small aperture like f/22 if you want to create starburst effects on street lamps.
- Keep your ISO low to ensure high image quality and avoid unwanted noise during long exposures.
