Photography tips
How this image was taken
For this shot at dusk, the aperture of f/16 and the low ISO of 100 ensure high depth of field and noise-free image quality. The 10-second shutter speed captures the low ambient light, while the 15mm focal length provides a wide view through the bridge.
- Use a long shutter speed to capture details in low light and create smooth motion.
- Select a small aperture like f/16 to achieve consistent sharpness from the roof construction in the foreground to the buildings in the background.
- Use a wide-angle lens to include both the interior of the bridge and the cityscape of the old town in one frame.
