Photography tips
How this image was taken
The shutter speed of 1/3 s combined with an aperture of f/4 and ISO 200 allows for the deliberate motion blur of the tram, while the wide 12 mm focal length keeps the background sufficiently sharp.
- Use a longer shutter speed to render motion as dynamic blur in your image.
- Choose a low ISO setting to maintain high image quality and minimal noise in these lighting conditions.
- Use a wide-angle lens to capture both the moving subject in the foreground and the surrounding background.
