Photography tips
How this image was taken
For this night shot, the f/1.8 aperture and ISO 400 allow for a shutter speed of 1/2 second despite the low light conditions. The wide aperture also creates the deliberate blur in the foreground.
- Look for a striking frame in the foreground to add depth to the image.
- Use a fast aperture to allow for shorter exposure times at night.
- Select a composition where the subject is framed by the foreground element.
