Photography tips
How this image was taken
For this night shot, the shutter speed of 10 seconds provides sufficient exposure for the dark scenery, while the aperture of f/9 ensures consistent sharpness. The 17 mm focal length captures the wide perspective of the bridge.
- Use a long shutter speed to allow the surrounding lights to reflect on the water at night.
- Select a medium aperture like f/9 to keep both the architecture and details in the image sharp.
- Use a wide-angle lens to frame the entire Chapel Bridge and its surroundings within the image.
