Photography tips
How this image was taken
For this shot at 15 mm focal length, I used a shutter speed of 10 seconds to capture the fluid motion of the wheel. The aperture of f/22 ensures a deep depth of field, while the ISO 200 maintains image quality in the twilight lighting conditions.
- Use a long shutter speed to capture the dynamics and light play of rotating rides.
- Choose a small aperture to achieve consistent sharpness throughout the image.
- Find a body of water nearby to incorporate the reflections of artificial light sources effectively into your composition.
