Photography tips
How this image was taken
For this night scene, the long exposure time of 20 seconds combined with a closed aperture of f/22 allows for a detailed rendering of the illuminated architecture. The ISO value of 640 balances light sensitivity and image quality.
- Choose a small aperture like f/22 to achieve a large depth of field across the entire subject.
- Use a long exposure time of 20 seconds to capture sufficient light in low-light night conditions.
- Ensure stable camera positioning with a 50 mm focal length to maintain the desired composition during the long exposure.
